I made it out of clay.
And when it's dry and labelled,
I'll put it in a dossier.
I have some thousand or so data points, and I am looking for a program to organize them so that:
- it is easy to cut and slice them and get nice graphs
- it is easy to sort them on many dimensions
- it is easy to enter more data points
Do you have a recommended/preferred method for managing data?
This post's theme word is scienter, "deliberately" or "knowingly." It's an adverb: he waggled his eyebrows scienter.

Perhaps a database with some sort of friendly client? Microsoft Access or File Maker Pro come to mind.
Just use ipython + pylab. The only thing possibly annoying is entering new data since it might require an extra keystroke or two per datacase. But you can store the raw data in a plain text file and add to that and then slice and sort however you want in python. And make plots of slices etc.
What's a theory student doing with data?
