– a Singaporean teacher's storeroom π
read about these few Internet measurement tools via /. :
Other tools are still in development as M-Lab is “only at the beginning of its development”. The first two tools look especially interesting to me (:
was reading /. post on “How Should I Teach a Basic Programming Course?” and these 2 websites appeared in the comments:
the chance of me teaching programming is probably next to zero, but thought it’ll be good to store these 2 interesting links in the storeroom. who knows when it’ll come in useful π
it’s been another long while since there’s any update to this blog, and today marks a day worth celebrating — the long-awaited (albeit 6 months delay) revamped version of Culture Bridge is officially launched. Culture Bridge (aka ζεζ‘₯) has been the babies of multiple webmasters, and i believe the current webmaster Tan Ying δΈΉη (and ε€η³γθͺι as well) must have been through a great deal of efforts to get this revamped version go live. thank you for taking over the work and giving the Bridge a new breath of life π
am regretted for not being able to contribute to new content much as we wished to as our current “full-time parents, part-time student” portfolio is unexpectedly overwhelming. however, i shall end this post with another great news for the future development of Culture Bridge, as on this very same day, Adobe has announced that it’ll release codes needed to search engine developers to make Flash content indexable! yes, until now the Flash-based Bridge has remained a ‘void’ to the web spiders, so what better news can there be π
saw this new online tool mentioned in Anne Davis’s post and thought it’s a nice tool to try out, and best of all, you get to share your findings with other users. something about the tool:
iBreadCrumbs is…
A Social Network for Researchers
to Share Recorded URLs, Track Websites,
Review Notes Online, and Encourage
Online Collaborative Research.
to find out more, visit the site now!
2 things that came to my mind before i actually try out the tool:
1. the dynamicity of the www can lead to the fast outdating of our research. for how long would such a research ‘history’ be useful and how much would it benefit other fellow users?
2. organising makes info more mearningful but it takes effort and time as well if we were to review the list recorded by the tool and strike off sites that we deemed not useful. not sure if this would be too overwhleming.
will try it out soon π
was looking for a reference on Sigmund Freud’s (1900) “The Interpretation of Dreams” and came upon a 3rd edition available on the web via Psych Web put up by Dr. Russell A. Dewey (PhD).
Psych Web is an excellent web site on psychology. you can find a complete, 725-pages introductory psychology textbook that’s available on the site! you can find many other related resources on the left menu bar and even an apa style reference sheet called the APA Manual Crib Sheet.
