I have been meaning to blog about this for awhile. File this under “Better Late Than Never”.
What’s the best archival format for your important documents? In a previous post I suggested parchment might be—but that’s impractical. All joking aside, the issue is a serious for anyone who is going to spend the better part of […]

While not yet released, you can request a beta version on the user mailing list. Skim is a welcome addition to an increasing range of alternatives (including PDFView and TeXniscope) to Adobe Acrobat […]
For viewing PDFs I invariably use Apple’s Preview. In contrast with Adobe Reader which is painfully slow to load, Preview is both fast and convenient. Nevertheless, I wanted something more.
