Also, I downgraded from Word 2004 to Word X so that I could use the Cite-While-You-Write feature of Endnote, which is lovely because you can easily add references and reformat the bibliography at your leisure. Endnote has yet to release an upgrade that lets it talk to Word 2004. Unfortunately I’d forgotten that the Word/Endnote combination also seems to radically slow down my computer, giving me spinning wheels of misfortune that offer the perfect opportunity to pop over to another more responsive window and just, well, just get totally distracted. As I am now. Back to Word.

Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]
A few weeks ago Meta released Galactica, a language model that generates scientific papers based on a prompt you type in. They put it online and invited people to try it out, but had to remove it after just three days after […]
This spring when I was learning R, I came across a paper by Anders Kristian Munk, Asger Gehrt Olesen and Mathieu Jacomy about using machine learning in anthropology – not to classify big data, as machine learning is often used, but to […]

(Now, isn’t calling it a “URI” a little confusing? More accurate, but the reality is, everybody calls it an URL, so we might as well just accept the slightly less accurate term for the sake of communication…)
These Mac tools make me want to switch to a Mac. I would if they had a low-power G5 laptop. I mean, Alamut has stopped writing all because of his beloved DevonThink. Available only for the Mac.
I suspect your spinning wheels of death would be alleviated by more RAM. Maybe a lot more RAM. But then again maybe not.

Jill, don’t you think that endnote type applications represent an unattainable dream – being organized, having the computer do the work (ultimately manifested in a write-a-dissertation macro) and saving time. I love these programs have tried a whole bunch. My current favorite tool is Biblioscape – which to seems to be much more “modern” than most others (including Endnote which is pretty much a card box:). For instance it allows for web publishing and editing/adding through a web page (as well as the program itself).

Have you considered using LaTeX (in conjunction with Bibtex), rather than Word ? Takes a while to get used to it, but afterwards you never want to go back.
