Because I worried (or hoped) that someone might worry about me and not get the joke, no, I don’t actually think I have a ton of mental illnesses. Sorry guys.
If you still think self-diagnosing is a good idea, check out my notes for today ‘cause my psychology professor spent a good ten minutes telling people not to do it. I didn’t write much down because that would be useless, but there you go - diagnosis is complex and you don’t know anything about doing it, so don’t even try. She didn’t mention it, but I wouldn’t go into a meeting with a psychiatrist/therapist/whatever and say “so I think I have x, y, and/or z” because they’ll look for symptoms of that and probably jump to conclusions just like you did. “You’ll see what you expect to see,” after all. Unless you want to be diagnosed and get meds because you’re sure they’ll help/don’t care if they don’t help, in which case, feel free to continue.
As for the actual reason I’m posting today, I wanted to mention again how much I like WriteMonkey. I like it as much as I liked Q10 when I was working on essays last semester, except a bit more, because it fixes problems Q10 had and adds a number of useful features. For example, something I’ve gotten used to using as a project-specific todo list is comments in my programming assignments - and WriteMonkey allows you to keep track of comments and dims them out a bit to set them off from the rest of the text. It lets you set progress goals (I think for the entire project) and then track partial progress, as in how much you’ve done in one session and stuff. It can do lookups for stuff on google and dictionary.com and stuff. And I haven’t used it yet, but you can create tags it calls “jumps” and automatically find them in the text - so you could have like @[INSERT IDEA] or #[INSERT TODO] or whatever. It also tracks your most frequently used words! So that’s pretty cool, and you can see “hmm, I used the word "something” twelve times, that’s not good".
Also, Ninite has made it possible for people to embed installers in their sites and show only certain programs, which is pretty neat because you can say “here are the programs I recommend using” and people can take whatever they want and just install them without any crap.
