I received an email a while ago (well okay, I admit it was ages ago but I've been busy!) asking me to check out the The College Student's Productivity Guide - 27 Apps, Tools, and Resources. From the introduction:
... No, there isn't a free download that can cure your hangover from Saturday night, but there are plenty of online study aids that will get you through the rough spots ....
I wish I had some of these resources when I was a student! I think my personal favourite is:
Ottobib
For some people, the hardest part of a research paper is properly writing the bibliography page. Thanks to Ottobib, that is a problem of the past. Provided you have the ISBN of the books are citing, this site will configure your bibliography page for you, right down to every comma and colon. There are five styles available: MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian, BibTeX and Wikipedia.
How invaluable is that?!
All in all, it's a fairly comprehensive list covering reading, document writing and bibliographies. Student or not, I suggest you

We're looking into using Mind mapping at work as a means of capturing customer requirements when we're onsite and then using this mind map to draw up a Technical Requirements Specification. I was asked to write up a list of software as I'd had quite a bit of experience trailing different mind mapping products.
Below is a list of some of the software I found. If any one has any more (preferably free) ideas, please post a comment!

Following on from a thought I had a while back about tying my bajillion (yes that is a number) email addresses together, Mark set me up with some stuff on his webserver which I must admit I've not looked into yet (apologies Mark but I've not been near my home PC for a week). But during my travels through the Internet this week I stumbled across Contact Office (thanks to Pascal) which allows you to have tasks, calendars, email and documents all in one place.
There are several different pricing tiers and because I'm a cheapskate (and I don't know how much I'll use it or whether it's worth it) I've chosen the free plan. Here's a run down of the features:
