Would this idea work as an ink-blogging tool?

OK, I’m not a programmer, but it makes sense to me that this would somehow work. What if someone created an ink blogging program that (excuse me if I misuse terms) would parse the ink into individual pictures for each word. Follow me here: The same way the ink post plug-in for Windows Live Writer [...]

Tracy’s "Already at uni" Software Box

As a follow up to Robert’s post, I thought I’d share as well, though I’ve been back to school since late August. I also just had to use the word “uni” since I think it’s funny, as a person who never heard someone call it a uni until Robert and William jumped in. And, for [...]

What’s in Robert’s ‘back to uni’ software box?

I know a lot of our readers are already well into the new term and I hope you’re all getting on fine. However in my corner of the globe (if globes have corners? :o)), the new semester doesn’t begin until October 1st so right now I’m sitting slap-bang in the middle of my yearly ritual [...]

Well I thought it was about time [...]

Snapter turns sub zero

You’ll remember back in April that we introduced you to Snapter, a software based scanning solution that utilises a digital camera as its primary means of input? Well Sarasin at Atiz has dropped me an email announcing that the software has been incarnated into a new version and renamed Snapter Ice 2.0. It seems our [...]

Bedtime in a backpack

Do you sometimes forget to put your laptop on standby, to later discover that you have wasted all of your battery life and conceqently only have 30 minutes left for that important exam review lecture?

I found myself in that situation just the other day. It’s partly due to the fact that I have [...]

Mindmaps with MindManager Pro 7

Normally, day-to-day wise, I’m not a mindmap kind of guy. However, come exam time, they’re one of the only things that work for me. I was pretty excited to hear that the new version of Mindmanager was on its way. Mindmanager 6 was the most complete software I have ever used. It is extremely hard [...]

Math 3.0: It Compliments Your Handheld Graphing Calculator

A recent topic in the forums had me looking around for math specific software, and up popped Math 3.0 from Microsoft. If you’ve used Microsoft Student 2006, then you’ll be familiar with this program.

Snapter - an easy way to turn your papers digital?

James over at jkOntheRun highlights a new piece of software that looks ideal for student use (especially those operating paperlessly). Atiz, the company behind the Bookdrive DIY (highlighted by alcuin in our forums a couple of days ago), have released Snapter - an application that allows you to ’scan’ a document into an elecronic format [...]
