Tech Netcasts!
What are your favourites?
Netcasts (also known as webcasts) are the new age talkback radio. They're an audio file - sometimes pre-recorded, other times live - which is broadcasted via the Internet. The popular 'podcasts' are a derivative of netcasts, but are typically restricted to the iTunes distribution channel. The term 'podcast' is often abused and used in place of netcasts, much like how the term 'iPod' is used in place of 'MP3 player', despite the brand. From a technical perspective, a netcast is just an ordinary audio file, typically MP3.
I've collated some of my favourite tech netcasts for you all to enjoy!
10 browser extensions that rock
Enhancing the Internet, one add-on at a time.
The humble web browser has become an integral part of peoples lives. It gives us access to the biggest pool of information available - the Internet - whilst providing the tools to navigate its unimaginably large scope with ease. It's for this reason that extensions/add-ons, additional software which adds extra functionality to the browser, have become very popular in recent years. People want software customised to facilitate their needs and wants, not what a team of developers think is best.
Tips for writing a good guide
There's tutorials to be written! Get into it!
Writing a good tutorial/guide takes more than a list of instructions on a page. There are many factors which must be considered before and during the process of writing to ensure that the end product is suitable. I've decided to write a series of tips to assist contributors in a group project on the Atomic forum. This project involves writing a collaborative overclocking guide. You could say that this is a guide for writing guides!
