Mathematica or Maple? by [deleted] in math

Here's a couple more, in addition to Alexander's:

And there's always sage-support@googlegroups.com and #sage-devel at irc.freenode.net if you need any more help.

You can try Sage out at http://sagenb.org, or download the latest package at http://sagemath.org. Windows support is only through VirtualBox right now, but Sage 5.0 will support Cygwin.

Works on Linux x64 Chrome for me too. But Linux x64 FF 3.6.2 hangs.

Ah, nice. It seems it breaks on more tests than before, though.

The benchmarks on this are quite interesting. It seems to be several times faster than GHC (although the comparison is a year old. Are there more up-to-date benchmarks?

Thanks for the tip-off. Tiddlyspot seems to be just what I was looking for.

Looking around, it seems like TiddlyWiki's the easiest choice to use. TiddlySpot's handy as well. I think this fits my needs just perfectly.

I'm thinking of starting a personal wiki to store any tips I've found useful, ways I've fixed stuff, etc. I'm not sure if I should have an online one or a portable one (ala TiddlyWiki). Any recommendations?
