Free Research Software

Just downloaded a 45-days free-trial software, the Journal. It seems useful but I will try it out to see if it could serve my writing purpose.

Also found a website with a long list of free statistical software. They might be useful for me at a later stage. I will test them out soon.

In addition, an online article also caught my attention, why web journals suck. I like the author's description on Types of Journals as her description on the kinds of journal/blog are quite true from my own observations so far. I like her parting words:

"I care because I think the Web is the best venue for revealing the self ever devised. Everyone says they want to be a writer -- well, here's your chance! And few people seem to know what to do with this opportunity." - Diane


I hope those of you who are reading this will be the 'few people' who 'know what to do with this opportunity' that is free. :D
