#27 and #28

I'm not really sure when I can get to do some work on the article management systems I so want to compare. They are particularly important to me as a researcher/scientist but this term is so busy with a lot of projects that I don't get to work on anything other than the school stuff.

Anyway, some friends sent me these links (reviews for Windows and Mac OSX) which I thought I'd share here:

#25 and #26

There hasn't been much going on these days to report. I haven't had the chance to work on my latest project (paper/article management tools). I did try to run a couple of tools on VMWare Fusion though and had trouble. Web.alive is a web-based tool for virtual environments based on Unreal engine. It's not available for Mac and won't work well on VMWare. Also, I use Allegro for graphics programming in C and it doesn't work with VMWare (but it has Mac version).

On another note, I'm starting to hate OpenOffice. It certainly isn't 100% compatible with MS Office. Somethings like comments and change tracking won't work, paragraph settings and even bullets/numbers are annoying, and it doesn't open some Office files!

Anyway, that's it for now.

I'LL BE BACK!
