http://colorschemedesigner.com/

(actual bookmark was http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html)

The ColorSchemeDesigner. A great tool to generate a sensible/good looking colorscheme

for almost everything.

I created lots of websites using this.

#css #web #design

http://www.zoo-logique.org/3D.Blender/index.php3?zoo=mod

A really nice blender car tutorial.

Don’t use it, it is seriously outdated,

but it can give you a good idea how the process works.

I used this as a sample in one of my lectures.

http://planettonyhawk.gamespy.com/thug/

I’m a huge fan of the Tony Hawks Pro Skater game series.

In fact these games were the reason to buy my PSX, PS2 and PS3.

This site has good info about Tony Hawks Underground (THUG).

Including some walkthroughs in case you get stuck.

#thps #thug #walkthrough

http://www.ign.com/faqs/games/tony-hawks-underground/gcn-545801

Even more THUG (Tony Hawks Underground) guides.

Did I say I am a huge fan?

#thps #thug #walkthrough

http://www.cheatcc.com/xb/sg/tony_hawks_underground_gaps.txt

And another THUG resource.

This time it’s a complete gap list.

Gaps are hidden spots that you have to find in the game.

If you find them all you can unlock some specials.

It was great fun to find the missing ones

once you’d finished the story,

but nearly impossible without cheating – by having a complete list.

I guess I really had an addiction. Event more THUG information.

Not sure how that ended up in my bookmarks,

but my best guess is that I used the website design as a reference.

A little on the esoteric/dodgy site, but still useful if you use your brain while reading it.

More or less informative site about Rife.

Yes, that trick that spread around the world about 5 years later.

I had forgotten that this is already so old.

#hacks

Nice list of potential interview questions.

A little dated, but still worth a quick read.

#career

I started to use it in 2004.

I stopped to use it in 2004.

I still think it’s the worst think you can do to your privacy

and that of the people your have mail contact with.

#mail #privacy

The homepage of the public transport service in Stuttgart, Germany.

I used to live there, so it was helpful.
