I am a førsteamenuensis (UK: lecturer, US: assistant/associate professor) in the Department of Mathematics at the Norwegian University for Science and Technology. I work in both differential and algebraic topology, both of which require that I use some category theory from time to time. I am also extremely interested in how best to use technology to help us do mathematics, particularly in the purer ends of mathematics where the obvious computational uses are not so useful.

For the 2012/2013 academic year I am on sabbatical based at Oxford.

comment Best script for automatically copying references from a centralised bib file based on aux file
@Seamus: not even the arxiv is happy with a .bib file. My (limited) experience is that journals really want everything folded in to one single file (I've had to do that for a 6-tex and 3-style document; not pretty).

comment How to prevent a jumping picture when using tikz overlays
When posting code, please also specify any particular packages or (as in this case) tikz libraries. The \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{tikz} was guessable, but I had to dig to figure out which tikzlibraries you were loading. Thanks!

@Heinzi: that's what merges are for. You merge the changes from one branch into the other branch. Then it puts in the relative changes but doesn't affect that branch's special changes.

@Yossi: To do what you say, the \only command would have to examine its contents for any + s inside. At the moment, it just chucks away its argument and that is extremely useful. With the current implementation, you could do what you said manually by something like \alt<+-(3)>{\alert<+>{foo}}{\only<+>{}} but to get the current behaviour with your proposal would be much trickier, I think.
