[Nottingham] LaTeX, Proxy Settings, University of Nottingham

[Cat Clarkson]

Thanks guys, you're superstars

I'd tried the "normal" proxy settings before but hadn't ticked the

Didn't realise there were many nlug notts uni students/staff? - will have to
have an nlug meet in coates cafe one day! - mmm chicken wraps ;)
