Improved navigation on the JEM site

We have now taken some small measures to improve the navigation on the website. this was done by adding breadcrumbs for individual nodes on the site, eg. the dissemination items, deliverables and some others.

You can now use the breadcrumbs to navigate directly back to the pages where the dissemination items etc are listed instead of having to go through the menu, for example:

Educational uses of wikis

Mac Pro vs MacBook Air in Movie Production



To get a true picture of the performance differences, I took snapshots of CPU and memory usage of Mac Pro and of MacBook Air while the computers where producing the movie discussed in my previous blog entry.

The picture above shows the CPU usage of my Mac Pro, and the picture below that of my MacBook Air.

Feature changes on Partner pages

We have done some customization on the views for the JEM partner pages.

For your comfort, we have added a listing of each partners dissemination items, case studies and software to the pages at About JEM -> The JEM Network -> <Partner Name>.

Any suggestions for improving the partner pages further are welcomed :)

Some updates on website

We have this morning upgraded the menu system of the JEM portal. Please report if you notice any strange behavior :)

Mathematical note taking with ASciencePad

Sometimes you need a quick solution for notetaking. And when mathematical notation is involved, sometimes even LaTeX can be too slow. Enter two resources: on one hand, TiddlyWiki, "a reusable non-linear personal web notebook" and, on the other, ASCIIMathML.
