LyX 1.6 is out!


LyX is a LaTeX front end that I use for writing. It's a fantastic piece of software. See http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16

iMovie 8: upgrade or downgrade?


In order to use our new camcorder, I had to install Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and iMovie 8 on my laptop. Ok, so I've got the video loaded, but what happened to all of the effects?

Open source wiki software: MoinMoin


I tried a couple; this one is a good compromise between ease of install and ease of use for my students.

Parallels on Intel-Mac


Some scientific software isn't (yet) available on Intel-Macs. Many of my students use Windoze XP. I installed Parallels on my Macbook Pro so that I could run WIndoze software in the same environment as my students.

GanttProject update


I wrote about GanttProject back in June 2004. The recent prereleases do not include support for xFig output. The attached files provide the means to add a rudimentary xFig output in GanttProject. Install GanttXFIGSaver.java in the io subdirectory of GanttProject sources (either version 1.10.1 or 1.11.1). Then recompile ganttProject with ant.

update 2005 Dec 19 (Mon) Added dependency arrows, fixed chart width bug.
update 2005 Dec 21 (Wed) fixed width font for task description. Start/stop dates added.
update 2006 Aug 23 (Thu) The latest version of Gantt Project exports a legible .png format image. Further, my Java coding skills are not sufficient to add an xfig module to the project. As a result, I'm no longer working on gan2fig.

Document preparation vs Word Processor: LyX!


I've been using this package for about two weeks. It combines the strengths of LaTeX with the convenience of a (more or less) WYSIWYG editor.
