A colleague recently suggested using Calibre for e-book management. It seemed like something of a leap to me, quite used to plundering through my PDF files stuffed (and often lost) in categorized directories.
Anyway, I skeptically got hold of the software, tried it and got hooked.
To put it in a nutshell -
Calibre is to e-books, what iTunes is to music
- a living example of KISS at its best and it's free (you can donate of course if you wish).
Enjoy -

Second Life take 1
Tony Karrer recently published a comprehensive list of Second Life Learning Videos.
After viewing three, curiosity got the better of me. So... I now have a Second Life account and have downloaded, installed and started (or almost) the program.
Only problem: my home PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements. I do only have 256 Mb of RAM. Ouch. Of course, it does date back to dinosaur era (i.e. ~2002), which explains why it's so outdated.
[EDIT: 2008-06-19]
I did try this again at home in the hopes it may have been a one-off, but no luck, it crashed again.
[/EDIT]
With a bit of luck, I shall be able to pursue this experiment over my lunch hour tomorrow! More news then...
