Zotero

Added zotero add on to firefox. Will still use zotero for now, though I'm going to check out the new projects eventually.

Starting with latex

Installing texshop- should be a complete tex install from here:

Here's a nice online tool that makes images from latex:

Rachele loves her new iMac

New positive attitude this time. Brand new iMac for my brand new job with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and giant 27 inch screen. OS X 10.6.8.

So far, I've got standard Mac software (including the iWork programs) and the word package that I need for teaching. Here's what I need to add:

Programing:

compilers (esp fortran)
Newest version of eclipse
Gimp
Mathematica or Maple- whatever they have
Terminal (?)
Aquamacs(?)
Texmacs
Latexit

I want to set up everything that I can that has a direct mac install before I try working on Fink or equivalent. Will post updates on how everything goes.
