I just found out that Google Code is now offering Project Hosting! It’s in the same style as SourceForge, but the Google way!

As a Google user you can create a project with a built-in issue tracker and Subversion repository. And if that’s not all, you can tie in a blog (at Blogger.com is you like) and adiscussion group (on Google Groups, of course).

When designing a web site you always check how the site looks in different browsers, even maybe at different resolutions. But how many browsers do you really use? Firefox, Safari when on Mac, Internet Explorer when on Windows and that’s mostly it.

Getting confused of all the tools you use on a daily basis? Don’t remember all the exact method names and possibilities of SubVersion, Apache, HTML, CSS, MySQL, Ruby on Rails, CVS, AJAX, JavaScript, FireFox, Google, etc. etc.? There is a solution! Cheat sheets make your daily work easier by providing you all you need to know on a single paper!

Here’s a very comprehensive list of cheat sheets.

Cheat sheets are simple put a collection of all important (if not just all) functions and methods you can use for a given product, framework or language. They’re great to have on your desk if you just can’t quite remember what function to use. Check ‘em out, print ‘em out and start loving ‘em!

In addition to my previous post I have gathered some popular resources from around the web that talk about making money off Google Adsense. I hope this sums up all you need to start making money yourself.

Please, let me know if I missed something.

Things to know about making money with Google Adsense

There are three things you need in order to make money off your site or blog.

• Visitors
• Content
• Ads

This post is about the last part, Ads. I’ll talk about getting visitors and creating content in a later post, so stay tuned!

I normally wouldn’t promote torrent sites here, but when I came across Podtropolis I was amazed!

This site features a lot of (video) iPod specific stuff like music videos, TV Shows and even full length movies.

Of course, don’t download any of the stuff! Buy it if you want it.

For all of you who have a flashy Apple MacBook (or any other device with a 1280×800 resolution) here’s a nice site with lot’s of hi-res wallpapers. Of course, they’re all for free!

Oh, they have other sizes as well.

Go check out InterfaceLIFT.

You know those little icons you see in your browsers address bar? Yes, the ones in you bookmarks! Well, you want such an icon for your site?

These icons are called FavIcons, short for Favourites Icon. Most modern browsers make use of them.

To create such an icon you’ll need some image first. Normally the process would be rather difficult involving several graphics manipulation programs and conversions. Don’t fall for that! Use the followin FavIcon from Pics site!

Just upload a gif, jpeg or png image (with transparency if you like) and get a FavIcon for free! There are also some other goodies included!

Of course, there’s information available on how to upload your FavIcon and how to let your browser know about it.
