Notes

I have a set of minutes dated 16/01/20081. They're from the far future! I wonder if all the people listed in them are human beings as we would recognize them.

For all of you who are less obsessed (or, at least, not on the relevant mailing list), the 2008 Playmobil catalog is out. I want the exploding volcano with dinosaurs. I am not wholly convinced about the fairyland sets, although they come with nice flowers.

Thanks to a passing mention by purplecthulhu, I downloaded a trial of Scrivener yesterday and worked through the tutorial. My first impression is that I wish I'd had this to help manage writing my dissertation. On the downside, it reminds me of my perennial discontent with ways of managing reference databases. I started off with FileMaker, and gave up and just used text/word processing documents to manage mine. (FileMaker is still handy for other things though.) Why are bibliography management programs so expensive?
