Hai uns anos eu escribín sobre aplicacións útiles para o ensino medio — pero agora a facultade é aquí, e trae un novo conxunto de esixencias. Desde Cheguei en Harvard, Tiven que facer máis, e os meus programas tiveron que facer máis tamén.

Estes novos programas precisan realizar en todas as plataformas (Windows, Mac, Androide, IOS), sincronizar perfectamente entre eles, e axudar a manter a miña datos organizados. Teñen que ser versátil, robusto, e doado de usar. E eles teñen que ser libre.

Sorry for downtime – also, props to WebHostingHub

A closed box package cartoon clip art
Error 404, elephant not found

tl;dr – hathix.com had some downtime but my super-helpful host WebHostingHub cleared it up immediately. Also, I apologize for the fanboyishness – it’s just that WHH is that awesome.

I was recently working with some so-called cutting-edge web programming techniques (parsing JSON using PHP from client requests using JavaScript and jQuery… told you it was gory) and realized I needed a new version of some software on the server that hathix lives on.

So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.

I found Dropbox, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
