007 | DirectX 11 Graphics Pipeline Chart
I came across this really cool chart outlining the whole DirectX 11 graphics pipeline. I thought I should share it.
006 | Changing your Visual Studio theme
I've been programming for a while and the more I program the more I realize the default look-n-feel of Visual Studio can really tire your eyes out. So I was looking around to find ways to change it and I came across a nice website that has a collection of different themes.
You can check it out at: Scott Hanselman's Visual Studio Themes

005 | Converting Audio Files
Here's another useful tool I found while I was working on my procedural lip syncing project. It's a tool that converts from audio format to another. It's really useful when you want to compress raw audio. If you don't have Adobe Audition (CoolEdit) you can use this instead.
Here's the link: Sound eXchange
It's a command line tool, but it's pretty straightforward.

004 | Generating color palettes
The other day I found this really useful tool for generating color palettes from images. It's a perfect tool for finding color tones for your game. A lot of time you'll find a picture that perfectly describes the tone of your game and this tool will help capture that tone.
Anyways, here it is: Degraeve Color Palette Generator

003 | Managing Java Classpath
I was trying to figure out how to run a program with some external libraries without having to add it to the global classpath and I came across a nice little reference/tutorial on managing them in general. I thought it'd be helpful, so here it is.

001 | Website finally done!
Finally finished the website!
Just a quick thing about this website. This website is driven by the Django web framework. Django is a web framework that utilizes Python language. I chose Django because it gave me excuse to go out and learn Python. Django is an easy framework to learn. I was able to finish most of the development fairly quick. The only problem I ad was trying to set up Django on the Dreamhost webserver. While Dreamhost doesn't officially support Django, there are tutorials out there to show you how. In the future, I'm planning on posting the references and tutorials.
