Links and Stuff:
If you want to learn how to use Tex

Guide to fortran90. Also, good introductions to message passing interface and open mp.

Excellent sources of data: ICPR (general interest), IPUMS (for census and CPS), PSID and NLSY

Gapminder (it's just cool!)

Very good (and FREE) software I really like (mostly for windows):
  1. launchy (to access programs without going through the "start" menu. Very useful when your screen is clogged with stuff...)
  2. x2latex (let's face it... even if you love writing directly on latex, tables are just a bitch...)
  3. crimson (very good free text editor with syntax highlighting)
  4. Windows mesh (to access your computer(s) from anywhere in the world and do online backup)
  5. freecommander (freeware file manager... with a lot of goodies)
  6. TPX (for doing figures in Tex)
