using only free tools.
The process was long and frustrating because

save others from doing the same mistakes as I did.

In which I give a brief introduction
to Sketch 3D, a
tool for creating simple 3D scenes for use with (La)TeX. Originally it
generated PSTricks code, but recently support for PGF and TikZ was added!

PGF
and TikZ is a package for creating high quality illustrations for use
with LaTeX, ConTeX or pure TeX. It is a package that deserves a larger
user base. I've therefore created a
gallery of examples
with code and results. Its purpose is to showcase PGF/TikZ and hopefully
be a useful learning resource.

BibConverter has become a popular
tool since I released it last year. Domain
names are quite cheap nowadays, so I decided to buy the bibconverter.net
domain and move BibConverter from the server at work to my new web host
Webfaction. Now I have more freedom to develop BibConverter further, and
users have a much easier URL to remember: http://www.bibconverter.net.
