As it's a cold rainy day here in Brisbane, I decided to spend the afternoon working from the comfort of my home. I also wanted to make sure that if at any point I couldn't make the journey to uni, I could easily access from home all my documents on my iMac at uni.
My Dropbox folders are syncing properly, so I can very easily access my PDFs and MS Word docs from home. But to my disappointment, Mendeley, my reference manager, keeps crashing. Apparently it doesn't like Windows 7 64-bit, although it quite happily plugs away on Mac OSX 10.6 64-bit. And after reading the Mendeley forums, it appears that the cite-while-you-write plugin for Windows MS Office 2010 64-bit doesn't work either! I'm very disappointed, as this really limits what work I can do from home.
At this point in time, I'm going to hope this problem is resolved by Mendeley relatively rapidly. Otherwise I'm stuck with sorting through piles of PDF's and citing docs in text manually. Which, I guess, isn't terrible, but frustrating when you know a streamlined system could be doing the hard work for you.
