You can download Geekbench 5 for Windows, macOS, and Linux from the Geekbench website. Geekbench 5 allows you to measure your system’s power more accurately than ever before. Hey Ulf, what about you run through the wiki matrix and tick all your requirements and run a few comparisons? You might find one that meets your needs better! I'm keen on hearing what other people find when they run through the Matrix Choices Wizard.Geekbench 5, the latest major upgrade to Primate Labs’ easy-to-use cross-platform benchmark, is now available for download. Folders seem to take too long to jump around and scan through. The right sort of wiki, if it was drop and drag enough, would help me tidy up my political and greenie activistim and thoughts, my church stuff, man life gets busy and swamped with info! So it's not just for my writing.īut I keep feeling that there's something in the raw Mac OS I'm not using as well either. It's just trying to have all my encyclopedia stuff in one Word file gets a bit slow. I keep the novel on one side of the screen as I write, and my encyclopedia files on the other. Ha ha, awesome! Of course I'm writing the actual novel in Word, but it's all the encyclopedia stuff I need to jump around in, you know, imagine keeping track of all those characters and races in Lord of the Rings. PHP runs via Apache httpd (both are pre-installed on OS X), and Java web apps run via a servlet container such as Tomcat (installation of which is straightforward).įor example, Mellel on OS X (which I use and like) bills itself as a "writer's" tool. If you restrict the search to PHP and Java you should still get a sizable selection. I want it to run on my G5 mac, but it doesn't seem to ask that, and instead asks what language I want it to be written in. I don't do a whole lot of writing, especially not anything as long as a book, but my gut feeling is that a Wiki may not be the best tool for such a project have you considered using a word processor? For example, Mellel on OS X (which I use and like) bills itself as a "writer's" tool. That seems like a functionality specialized writer's tools might have, but not general purpose tools. I'm not aware of any Wiki that does that. What if I change a character name? Does it automatically update all instances of that character name AND the links to that character name? That's more of a concern for native apps like VoodooPad. PHP and/or Java (on which they're based) are too much in the mainstream to go away any time soon, or not be supported for several OS X versions to come. MoinMoin, Friki, JSPWiki, MediaWiki and most others mentioned here are open source, so this kind of compatibility issue doesn't really arise, IMO. It's kind of bare bones, though, which is why I (still) recommend JSPWiki to others. I'm still using the same wiki software for my personal needs (it's called Friki, and we use it here on this site for the JavaRanch FAQ). I'm an anxious sort that worries I'm gonna get utterly hooked on Voodoopad or MoinMoin or something, and put ALL my stuff in it, and then turn around in a year or 2 when I've just got really used to it and find it's gone and no longer compatible with some new computer I buy in the future.ĭavid Gaffney wrote:Can I just bump this old conversation from last year up and ask if anyone here is still using the wiki software they said, and do they fear for the long term security of being 'addicted' to software that might not be supported for the next Mac upgrades? It would be point and click to install, like a Mac app, and I would know that it would 'just work' and always be around. It would talk perfectly to iWorks and iLife and Microsoft office as well. (All right, a man and his wife as is the case with Voodoopad). In a perfect world I'd get something as easy as Voodoopad, it would be supported for all versions of Mac, no matter how long I kept my old mac, or how quickly I updated it! And it would not depend on the health of a one-man-band like Together or Voodoopad. I also just checked out media wiki, and it looks like far too much work. Why, oh why don't Mac create software like this - something that sits nicely in iWorks or iLife? Can I just bump this old conversation from last year up and ask if anyone here is still using the wiki software they said, and do they fear for the long term security of being 'addicted' to software that might not be supported for the next Mac upgrades?
