Healthcare, Diagrams, Social Networking, and Email
by Nat Torkington | @gnat | comments: 4
- OSCAR Canada -- open source healthcare (EMR) software, akin to VistA. See linuxmednews.com for more.
- Instaviz -- iPhone app for mindmapping/any other blob-and-line diagram. I'm hypnotised by the correction of a fuzzy hand-drawn circle into a clean crisp algorithmic circle.
- Buddypress -- open source software that turns a Wordpress installation into a social networking platform. Ok, so social networking software is now essentially free. What's the next big thing that will as hard and new as social networking was in 2003?
- Getting Insight Into One's Own Email -- Thunderbird now shows interesting facts when there's no message to look at: recently read messages, messages most likely to be interesting, and a histogram of activity.

Thanks for plugging my iPhone app Instaviz.
The shape recognition engine is new, although it was based on work done by certain Portuguese computer scientists. Essentially I wanted a shape recognition engine that would be fast and accurate, even on the iPhoneOS which doesn't have a desktop-caliber CPU, so that it would be a seamless part of the whole diagram sketching experience.

I presume that you meant 'See linuxmednews.com for more' instead of 'Se'. Or, maybe it was 'Si, linuxmednews.com for more.' Typos are a botch.
