Automated Web Resource Citing With Bibtex

I find myself constantly citing web resources that I need to cite, and I think it’s a huge hassle. They’ve all got the same format, and though Bibtex does a lot of the formatting heavy lifting for you, it’s still a pain.

Enter laziness.

From Safari, I drag a web location onto my desktop, or keep them in a references folder:

Drag a link onto the desktop from Safari.

And then drag the web location onto the droplet to get results. You can drag several files or folders on at once:

Or from the command line tool (see the install tool):

Two days ago I finished my final for Scientific Computing (it was a take-home final), and was somewhat sad to see the end of it. Sure, it was a lot of work (too much, according to Matt Matteson) – I spent literally upwards of a hundred hours this semester working on the homework and exams. I recently tallied up the number of pages I submitted, and it was upwards of a 135 8.5 x 11 pages, most of it marked up in LaTeX. (Because of this class my LaTeX-fu has grown significantly stronger.)

I look forward to any more classes I have with this prof.
