Check out the new free software and fun stuff released as part of our NANY (New Apps for the New Year) 2018 event on January 1, 2018: here.
Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year. NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together. There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.

DCIRLDD Thanksgiving Dinner and Board Game Night - Sat Nov 30, 2013 - Champaign. ILDCIRLDD = DonationCoder In Real Life Dinner and Drinks
You are cordially invited to a DonationCoder.com vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner and evening of board games at my house in Champaign, Illinois, on Saturday November 30th, 2013. Note that no one ever attends these things so be warned that this will just be a couple of socially awkward people playing board games. I recommend attending only if you live nearby (though amtrak is within walking distance) and need an excuse to get out of the house. Let me know by November 28 if you would like to attend. |

The Amazing Video for Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"A very cool video to Bob Dylan's famous song "Like a Rolling Stone": One of the best music videos of 2013 belongs to a 48-year-old song. The interactive video for Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," released yesterday, is a tour de force: as the music plays, you can flip between sixteen channels of simulated TV programming. But whether you're watching a financial news update, a romantic comedy, or a tennis tournament, it looks authentic except that everyone seems to be lip-synching the lyrics of the song. http://www.bobdylan.com For information on its creation: http://www.rollingst...stone-video-20131120 |

How long do hard drives actually live for?Extremetech has an article today on an issue we've discussed before -- the longevity of hard drives. This data covers only the first 4 years, but i have to admit it's a bit scary to me: If you buy a hard drive today, there’s a 90% chance that it will survive for three years. If your drive makes it to the three-year point, you would be wise to back up your data, as there’s a 12% chance per year that your drive will die. If you don't have a good backup plan in place, start one this week. I recommend a combination of monthly full drive imaging combined with a constant online backup service for your documents and/or file mirroring. http://www.extremete...es-actually-live-for |
