This week I'm cleaning up some loose ends. I've noticed a lot of human generated spam lately. People seem to like to register and post about their awesome casino site. Well, that's all over now. I added a "Recent Activity" panel to my admin console. Now I can automatically see the most recent posts and delete them at will if they're full of spam... Thanks for forcing me to do this spammers, it's been on my to do list for months.

I'm also working on adding a citation manager to the site this week. In this section you'll be able to categorize and organize all of your favorite citations into specific folders. You'll also be able to recommend papers to the community and your friends :) Maybe in the future I'll allow the uploading of personal PDFs, but I'd have to look into copyright policies about that. I wouldn't allow sharing, it'd be more like your own personal internet hard drive. I don't know how useful that'd be though. SO any input would be great!

The video conferencing application is coming along nicely. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the month. The only thing that's going to suck is paying for the streaming host :( Anyway, more about that in the coming weeks!

I also have a big announcement tomorrow, I think... At least I think its a big announcement!
