Hi all,
|
||||
|
||||
I got a small hint for you if you use <strong><a title="matlab" href="http://www.mathworks.fr/" target="_blank">Matlab</a></strong> on a daily basis but still love your command line!

I am really not a <a title="IDE" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment" target="_blank">IDE</a> kinda guy and always try to avoid using a huge interface when an editor is enough. Personally, I haven't found a more powerful tool than the <strong>emacs/terminal</strong> combination yet.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, the Matlab interface is fully coded in Java and is way too much ram-consuming imho. So I decided to get rid of it! Simply run
|
||||
|
||||
[matlab]
|
||||
{% highlight matlab %}
|
||||
|
||||
$ matlab -nojvm -r script //run without implying the jvm
|
||||
[/matlab]
|
||||
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
[matlab]
|
||||
{% highlight matlab %}
|
||||
|
||||
$ matlab -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r script
|
||||
[/matlab]
|
||||
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The result is a Matlab command line interface. You will simply have to use your favourite editor to create your scripts, and then run them using the command line.

As a researcher, part of your job consists in being an expert in your field and "keep both eyes open". Some of your time should be spent reading publications related (or not) to your curent projects. And most researchers I know have their own way to handle this big piece of "paper knowledge" they process. While being in <strong><a title="TNO" href="http://www.tno.nl/" target="_blank">TNO</a></strong>, I found one piece of tool that I never stopped using : <strong><a title="mendeley" href="http://www.mendeley.com/" target="_blank">Mendeley Desktop</a></strong>.

Basically speaking, <strong><a title="mendeley" href="http://www.mendeley.com/" target="_blank">Mendeley</a></strong> is a publication management tool. It would help you keep track of your publications by extracting meda-data from the pdfs, and sort them out for you. For each document, you can access its authors, abstract, . . . And you can also set these meta-data and add keywords or tags.
