![]() ![]() ![]() | 5 posts have been requested, starting with post number 1 (post number 1 is the newest post). Website of the month, September 2010... Sticking again with the theme of parts of a website, established in July due to my lack of time on the internet (and, indeed, lack of time spent watching TV or doing anything particularly leisurely), the website of the month for September 2010 is Irishpolyglot.com for this exceedingly good video about a trip up Teide: Mark Hogan Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:53 WEST | Category: Website of the month | Comments (0) and permanent link Website of the month, August 2010... Sticking with last month's theme of focusing on a part of a website, the website of the month for August 2010 is this rather cool video of a guy walking across America. And, so you don't even have to click the link, here's the video: Mark Hogan Website of the month, July 2010... The website of the month for July 2010 is this article on rubber ducking on the Nokia Qt Developer Network's website, suggested by bencord0. Rubber duck debugging, also known by various other descriptions such as having a cardboard programmer, helps programmers with basic debugging by involving them explaining their code to an inanimate object - the concept originally comes from programmers explaining their problematic code to another programmer and, while doing so, spotting mistakes themselves with no input necessary from the programmer the code is being explained to (it therefore makes sense, to avoid wasting the time of others, to replace the programmer having the code explained to him/her with an inanimate object). Mark Hogan Website of the month, June 2010... The website of the month for June 2010 is the well-known and respected XDA Developers. The website is famous for its forums which feature, along with tips and information, cool applications and ROMs for phones that improve upon or change what can be found in the official ROMs for phones. XDA Developers really should have been the website of the month many years ago, but I was waiting for an appropriate moment - now that their main website has been improved, they're partnering with PDAdb.net and, most importantly, they're moving onto a new era with the departure of Flar, who has been the admin for over 4 years. XDA Developers is an enormous website which deals with both Windows Mobile and Android devices, with a bias towards HTC's devices and is one of the largest (if not the largest) and oldest online mobile device communities, though there are reasonable alternatives around if you somehow get bored of XDA... Mark Hogan Website of the month, May 2010... The website of the month for May 2010 is Grooveshark, a website where you can listen to virtually any music for free. There is a Windows Mobile Grooveshark client that costs money, but the free GrooveMobile (formerly known as Groovefish) has everything I need. I hereby apologise both for the lack of posts recently and, in advance, for the lack of posts to come - preparation for exams, as well as other stuff such as trying to find something constructive to do this summer, is keeping me very busy. Both physical and digital files are beginning to live in odd places and everything is in dire need of a good cleanup, defrag and virus scan. However, I do have one more blog post that shall appear soon... Mark Hogan < No newer posts | Older posts > 5 post(s) are displayed above. The code powering this blog is © Mark Hogan 2005 - 2010.
