I try usually not to write about links I discovered or other mundane daily stuff because I don’t think it is very interesting, but I got interested in writing lately. It boost one’s ego and also makes you think about the topic you write about. I am also improving my English this way. Last week I wrote an article for a diskmag, which will also appear on this site after it has been published.
Two of the links I found are related to programming, they are both ebooks:
- Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software – The article explains how to analyze foreign software for Linux and Windows. It also suggests the approriate software tools.
- How to be a Programmer – The text is more about the organisational part. Complimentary (real) books I found interesting are “The Pragmatic Programmer” and “Code Complete”
I also found an interesting service: del.icio.us. It is like audioscrobbler. Well, almost like audioscrobbler. It unfortunately doesn’t have a compatibility feature where you could see which persons have similiar bookmarks like you have. This service has two interesting features for me:
I can save my bookmarks there and can access them from everywhere. This is not that important to me because I already know most addresses by heart, but it surely is convenient.
The more important feature is that I can see who bookmarked a site and also see this persons bookmarks. This feature makes it possible to discover new interesting sites. Bookmarks also have a higher quality than results of search engines. They have already been valuated by the bookmarkers.
