Ubuntu Boosting Blog Hits

I had a bit of a surprise logging into my weekly stats-fest that is my Google Analytics account; 300% rise in Search Based traffic. My daily traffic is meagre to say the least but still, to see such a jump on the week-on-week numbers is always a good thing. ** But I, like alot of people in this field, like knowing why!

SEE, Programming Abstractions, Assignment 1

SEE, or, Stanford Engineering Everywhere, has turned out to be my favourite E-learning resource; I’ve dipped into it a few times over the past few years but in light of my recent investment into a CUDA enabled Graphics Card, I thought that it was coming high time to brush up on my C++ programming, which I’ve basically left stagnant for two years after advancing no further than function pointers, structures, and templates.

Ads Outside the Box?

I cant for the life of me remember who it was who pointed this out on Twitter, either @cimota or @stuartgibson. Jesse Schell , Author, Educator, Game Developer, Ex-imagineer, Futurist, spendshalf of this video deliberating over the unexpected rise and rise of facebook. The last half is what I found really interesting; Jesse eulogises on his image of points-based future, in line with Lee Sheldon’s High School XP Grade replacements. If any of these predictions come true, I expect it’s going to be a very interesting decade for advertisers. ...
