CHEM495: Senior Seminar in Chemistry

Useful Programs :

You may find the following programs useful.

Firefox Browser: I cannot recommend this browser highly enough. The BioBar extension alone makes the switch from Microsoft's ubiquitous browser a required action. Seriously, stop using that buggy hunk of code from Redmond and use a tool that works.

• BioBar extension: A great exntension for Firefox that gives you access to nearly every bioinformatic database you'd ever need. Doesn't work with Firefox 3.6 yet though...
• bioFOX extension: Search many Bioinformatics databases from within your browser. I prefer Biobar, but to each his/her own. Make sure you read the instructions on the homepage for the extension.
• Internet Explorer Tab: Open a web site with an Internet Explorer tab in Firefox. Useful for webpage testing or when a page just won't load in Firefox for some reason or another.
• PDF Download: Allows you to choose if you want to view a PDF file inside the browser (as PDF or HTML), if you want to view it outside Firefox with your default or custom PDF reader, or if you want to download it.
• All-in-one Sidebar: All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) is a sidebar control, inspired by the one found in the Opera browser. Click on the left edge of your browser window to open the sidebar and get easy access to all your panels. It lets you quickly switch between sidebar panels, view dialog windows such as downloads, extensions, and more in the sidebar, or view source or websites in the sidebar.

Image Manipulation

Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP): Need to edit images but can't afford Adobe Photoshop? Try this program out. You won't be sorry.
