So, these are probably more useful here than sitting in a dusty binder...

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* "Common Lisp, Typing, and Mathematics" by Francis Sergereart - good (long) paper about one application of Common Lisp; [Postscript here](http://ai.king.net.pl/articles/common-lisp.ps)
|
||
|
||
|
||
* "Getting Started With LaTeX", David R. Wilkins - [here](http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer/)

|
||
|
||
* [AT&T Graphviz](http://www.graphviz.org/) - very very useful program for visualization of directed and undirected graphs

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* [](http://www.opencroquet.org/)[Croquet](http://croquetconsortium.org/) (from the Croquet Project, not to be confused with the Croquet Consortium) - by my description, an attempt to extend the original 2-dimensional paradigm for a GUI into 3 dimensions; by their description, "Croquet is a powerful new open source software development environment and software infrastructure for creating and deploying deeply collaborative multi-user online applications and metaverses on and across multiple operating systems and devices."... I think it's an interesting project, anyhow. Check out some of the papers Alan Kay helped write, and look at some of the videos.

* [JGraph](http://jgraph.com/) - some sort of graphing and visualization software, open-source and written in Java
|
||
|
||
|
||
* [Ploticus](http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/) - more graphing and visualization, not as shiny as JGraph, but not Java either; apparently good for on-the-fly graph generation, for websites and such
|
||
|
||
|
||
* [TeXmacs](http://www.texmacs.org/) - " GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists."... it puts Mathematica's rendering to shame.

|
||
|
||
|
||
* I don't know why, but I wrote down "BDI2000 JTAG", maybe because the Abatron BDI-2000 can be used to debug the Linux kernel via JTAG?

|

|
||
* ["The Grand Inquisitor"](http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/pol116/grand.htm) from "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky - I think I'm supposed to read this because I don't know why else I'd have written it down.
