Geeky Mom : Why am I blogging?. Been there before. Sooner or later all non-pseudonomenous bloggers are faced with the same dilemmas. There’s really no answer or advice to give except : blog when you feel like it, if not do something different, after all its just one of those billion of blogs around.
Texmaker : another LaTeX-frontend, possibly having a few extras such as : a structure-pane including labels you gave to formulas, theorems etc. (click on them brings you to them). Intend to use it now as I’m in another rewrite of the never-ending-book..
Microformats : “Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards.” May have another look.
Quicksilver : a recurring link. At times when I feel learning key-strokes may save me a lot of time I have (another) go at Quicksilver. Last week, Ive reinstalled this blog more or less post by post and used keystrokes to send a line in the SQL-file of the database dump of NEB as a clipping to Scrivener to MultiMarkdown it further. I used the app Service Scrubber to define my own key-strokes. Must have another go at Quicksilver soon. Im sure it distinguishes ‚”power mac users” from the rest of us.
List of GTDTools : a good list of GTD-software. I’m probably just too chaotic for GTD to improve my workflow but somehow I cannot resist trying some of these things out.
LifeDEV : One of those sites that tells me I should take GTD more seriously
DoIt : One of these GTD-tools. It is said to go well with Quicksilver, so maybe, one day.
Think : Here a little seemingly completely useless tool which works well (at least for me). No, it does not make you think, but at least it helps you while you are thinking (or doing anything a bit focussed). Install it and enjoy! The principle is that it just blocks out all other open windows (and there are keystrokes (yes, again) to get you quickly in and out.) Besides, it looks great. It’s in my dock and this says it all
Thinkature : a brainstorming tool. Dont know why I did bookmark this. Perhaps one day, a few years from now
Stafford Talk : a talk by Toby Stafford I came across by accident. Maybe there are other interesting talks on the site?
Science Scouts : a great idea! Give yourself badges for how well you do science (or talk/write about science). Have to collect my badges soon. I’m sure this only works for people with a scouting-history, but who knows?
MacResearch : Here’s a site that may become useful. MacResearch.org is an open and independent community for scientists using Mac OS X and related hardware in their research. It is the mission of this site to cultivate a knowledgeable and vibrant community of researchers to exchange ideas and information, and collectively escalate the prominence of Apple technologies in the scientific research community. They have some interesting articles and tutorials on e.g. DevonThink and BibDesk etc. Worth to revisit.
Jennifer in love : well‚ should I say something about this? probably best not.
Breakthrough CLI : another pamphlet in favor of the Command Line! A must read for those who perfer GUIs to CLIs.
CLI - the site : Rod is working hard on CLI-20. Whenever he releases version 2.0, neverendingbooks will be among the first sites to run it. I still love the idea.
Why do I bother? : an n-category post I got briefly interested in, but was somehow flooded by professional math-philosophers
Newton Legacy Reviewed : just that, a first review on the next bookmark.
the Newton Legacy : a free online book, a murder mystery with a physics touch. Perhaps this is the best investment of time/energy : write a popular science book rather than another paper. Read half way through it (sorry but not the best prose Ive read so far), may continue but was held up reading a (real) murder mystery Equinox featuring also Newton and alchemy (must be in the air somehow), also not the best mystery read so far
Stalking with Googleearth : no comment
