Obtaining graph data without the data
Have you ever had a graph — and wished for (but not had) the underlying data?
Such situations are rare, but not unknown. Only a few weeks ago, a colleague and I were asked to re-draw a graph, from a printed copy, without the data.
My work beyond CENTRIM and Freeman Centre led me, in a roundabout way, to two solutions:
* DataThief (shareware) Java-based (compatible with Linux, Mac, Windows etc.)
* GraphClick (Mac OS X only) — can be used without registration code for an unlimited period of time, though some features will be disabled. Cost: only US$8.
I found these applications at MacResearch, which I recently joined in connection with my contributions to a Google Code project.

I was playing with categories and changed a bit the following page:
http://w3.freeman-centre.ac.uk/?q=NewsEvents
Now the upper part of any entry contains the same structure of the Freeman Centre News, so the entry (new content) can be classified automatically.
I updated your entry to be in 'Tech Tips'.
the News and Events Page is still a bit ugly but it could be a way to collect the news from reporters and put it together automatically.
