Isaac Newton said it best:
If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.
So before getting into blogging proper I thought I should take a minute to lay down some love for the bloggers/authors/writers who've influenced me. In no particular order:
- Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror. For his thoroughly relevant bite-sized lozenges of digestible content.
- Shamus Young of Twenty Sided. For the D&D and game programming geekery.
- James Devlin of Coding the Wheel. For all things of or pertaining to poker and programming/technology.
- Robert Hodgins of Flight 404. For his brilliant visualizations and work with Processing.
- Seth Godin of Seth Godin's Blog. For those clever, 20-second posts that make you go Hmm.
If you're reading this blog, then you should absolutely be reading all of the above! I'll update this list (and perhaps do a formal blogroll) as time allows.
I saw your comment on Coding The Wheel from Aug-2009. You commented that you compiled and ran the code that James put forth. Is there any way you can share that compiled code with me? I do not have the Microsoft compiler but am very interested in getting a compiled version so that I can play around with it. If not, can you give me suggestions as to obtaining a compiler so that I can tweak the code & compile it myself?
