Insync, a command line client for google drive

Recently Google has changed Google docs to Google Drive. Google drive is a cloud service which can be used to synchronize your files in local computer to different computer. Also you can create, edit and view documents, presentation and spread sheets. Google made software for windows and mac but not for linux.

Don't Worry there is software available for linux which can be used for synchronize Google drives files, insync. Though this is a command line interfaced (cli) kind of software, but it works great.


To install the software download the .deb file from here. Then just double click it and install.

Now for first time running just open terminal and run command insync and then it will open up some window asking for Google account and password. Enter user name and password allow insync. You are done, all your cloud files and folder will be available locally.



Now you can put it in auto start also. Go to system setting > Start up application > add and then in command option you type insync. you can give it any name you like and comment.

Changing caption width in latex

In this post I will discuss how to change the width of the figure caption. You can use the same technique to change the width of the other caption (like table caption). Here I am using the caption package. In caption package you can specify the width while loading the package or latter using \captionsetup command. Syntax of the both command are as following \usepackage[<option>]{caption} and command for captionsetup is \captionsetup[<float type>]{<option>} In the <option> we can use width=0.8\textwidth to specify width of the caption. If we specify that in the time of loading (i.e. when using with \usepackage command) it will affect all the float (like figure, table) but if you specify it in command \usepackage then you can specify float type. Then the specific float type will only be effected. This way you can specify two different width for different float. You can also specify other kind of formatting (like italic text) usi

Subtitle in latex

Image
There is no direct command to define subtitle in latex. But you can define the \subtitle command using titling package. To do this just insert the following code in the preamble of the latex file. \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{%   \posttitle{%     \par\end{center}     \begin{center}\large#1\end{center}     \vskip0.5em}% } And then you can define subtitle using the following command. \subtitle{Subtitle Here} This will show the subtitle bellow your title when you use \maketitle command. Minimum working example Code \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{% \posttitle{% \par\end{center} \begin{center}\large#1\end{center} \vskip0.1em}}% \title{This is the title of the document} \subtitle{This is subtitle} \author{Apurba Paul} \date{January 08, 2013} \begin{document} \maketitle Body of the document. \lipsum[1] \end{document} Output

Placing float (table or figure) at the top of the page in otherwise empty page in LaTeX

In latex if a table is going to any empty page (page with only that table and no other text), the table is always aligned vertically centre. And that does not look good always. Even the float place holder like [t] or [ht] or [t!] kind of things does not work. But there is a work around, just paste the following code at the preamble of the document (before \begin{document} ); \makeatletter \setlength\@fptop{0\p@} \makeatother Hope this will solve the problem.
