We generally use text (sometimes with special characters like α≠√∞) or post pictures.

Unless you want to code it up with me on the programming forum, we should probably cut julien some slack. Getting server programs to work nicely together isn't always easy.

Yeah, I saw it. Unfortunately programming a hack job subset of LaTeX strikes me as kind of fun, so I thought I'd lightly poke you with the suggestion.

I'm not good at making graphics files from programs, but I did make a few (like my avatar). :P

Forgive me for being dense, but what exactly does that picture represent?
