I don't understand, what does this app do that MS Word doesn't?

Can Word create reference lists? I know they have templates which you can edit, but I wasn't aware that it allows the user to input data which is assembled into properly formatted reference lists. If it can please show me as it would save me the trouble of trying to iron out all the bugs :p (joking ha ha).

You should add different styles like APA and MLA (Y) good work though.

I'll look into it, I've never heard of either so I'll do some research and get cracking on it later. Any good sites you guys know of would be useful. (Y)

You could write one that works well under linux if you want ;) I can't get this one to run under mono or wine :(

What version of the .net framework does mono support? The Harvard Referencer does use bits of 2 so perhaps it's not properly supported? I might, maybe one day rewrite it in Java which would bypass that problem.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, if you like it, could you leave a comment on my blog - it would be nice to have some positive comments about the Harvard Referencer on there. :cool:

Thanks guys and any other suggestions either email me or post on here/my blog.

Hey, now that's an idea! If you don't mind I'll write it in Java, since that the only non .NET language I know, good luck porting to Mono though, I got lost reading the tutorials.

In the US MLA and Chicago-Turabian are the most common, so that would be really nice. :D

Does anyone mind command line apps? :p

If you do want to port it you'll have to come up with a way of preserving the formatting, i.e. having text, italic text, text, which I presume would be impossible on the command line.

You'll have to do it with a GUI if at all. Again to create the formatting you'll need to use something like a JTextField, but I'm not sure if you can do the alternative formatting in one of those. :/

Well I'm currently using Word 2007 (but I know 2003 had the option as well):

References > Manage Sources

Sort your spelling out. There is no such word as "multipul" - it's "multiple". I am not gonna download your app, but I suggest that (based upon posting a screenshot with such an error) you check every label, dialogue and alert.

Right thanks for that. I try very hard to get spelling right but it's something I really struggle with and so "multipul" must have slipped through my screening.

While we're on the subject - "dialogue" means a conversation between two people - you meant to say "dialog".

To Slimy:

Thanks for pointing that out, I've never noticed that before. Anyone who wants the APA style please follow Slimy's advice.

Just amazing... I started uni this sept and totally hate referencing already lol.

I have spent hours doing references for one of my assignments, this it?s going to save me a lot of time on future assignments:D:D thanks

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
