Starting my postgraduate very soon.

I typed "disseration" into Gnome's "Synaptic Package Manager", and received two responses:

  1. kdissertation:
    Quote:
    a mindmapping tool for supporting the creation of complex documents: dissertations, theses, presentations, and reports. It
    supports pictures and features several document generators: LaTeX
    reports, LaTeX slides (based on Prosper and Beamer), OpenOffice.org
    documents, HTML, and plain text...Though this application shares some similarities with general-purpose mindmapping tools like FreeMind or Vym, the very first goal of kdissert is to create general-purpose documents, not mindmaps.

  2. textlive-publishers: contains a list of academic tools--

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
