Library Update: June 2007

It’s time for yet another Library update. This catalogue of my library is technically complete, but I’m always purchasing new books, movies, and music. The library is now less than half of its original size and should load much quicker thanks to the new compression routines introduced in the current beta release of DeliciWeb. Those of you who frequent the library will notice that the “Games” section is gone. I chose to remove because it only listed ten commercial games and I haven’t purchased any new games in the last two years.

Almost everything in my library can be purchased from Barnes & Noble.com. If you can’t find what you’re looking for there, please contact me. Current library stats:

  • Books: 385
  • Movies: 189
  • Music: 117
Note: The fore-mentioned library was getting far too large, so it is no longer available, but it was fun while it lasted.

Favored Freeware: NeoOffice

NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

Pros: NeoOffice is a free and easy-to-use alternative to Microsoft Office. Unlike the Mac OS X build of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice runs natively, supporting such native features as fonts and printing, under Mac OS X.

Cons: None significant.

Note: NeoOffice is Mac-only, but native builds of OpenOffice.org are available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD.
