  • Published presentations

    Now I have produced and published several presentations — mostly on sociological theory. Check them out!

  • Making presentations in org-mode

    A couple of years ago I stoped using graphical interface such as libreoffice to do my presentations. Instead I used Latex and Beamer. The reason is that I work much faster if I don’t have to consider how it looks, but can concentrate on the content. On this website you can find some of my…

  • Debian on my secondary computer

    I had Void on my secondary computer for a long time. However, the computer was partitioned in a problematic way — there was no room in root, while a lot in home. I therefore decided to try something else — and I have never installed Debian on a real machine (only in virutal machines). I…

  • Reading rather big data into R

    Reading big data into R can take some time, since R reads the data directly into the Ram-memory. If the data is big it can even happen that R crashes. Things has become better, but this is still a problem. I have 16 GB in Ram and seldom have so big data that it does…

  • From results in R to table in MS Word

    I have uploaded a video on how you can transform results from R into tables in MS Word. Maybe not the nicest way — but working without to much work.

  • Problems with GCC/gfortran in R statistics

    I updated my system recently and went into a problem when loading some of the packages dependent on GCC. The error message I got when for example running library(psych) was: ’/home/daniel/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.4/mnormt/libs/mnormt.so’: libgfortran.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The reason to the problem is that my GCC was updated to version…

  • Installing Vivaldi — the web browser

    The first post of the year! Vivaldi is a great web browser. In fact, it is so great that I now use it as my daily web browser. I will not write about why it is so great (now) — but how to install it. I am using Fedora, and Vivaldi is not in the…

  • 2017 coming to an end

    2017 is coming to and end. Usually I don’t care much about these things, but this year it is symbolic — 2017 was a really bad year. The picture above represents it rather well. One crisis after another followed each other. I further had more teaching than planed. In total I did not had much…

  • Choose drive to Boot in Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook pro mid 2014 on which a double boot Fedora and MacOS. I mainly use the Fedora partition, and the computer boot in to Fedora as default. But I recently noticed that the system changes the default boot drive when updating MacOS. This is a bit strange since I also have a…

  • Research trip to Gothenburg

    I recently arrived in Gothenburg from Umeå. It is not a long trip, but I really don’t like to fly. When I changed airplain at Bromma i Stockholm the electronic ticket disapeared. Rather strange, but it was no problem. Just needed to say my name and they let me in. From the reaction of the…
