Prefer the old layout of Wikipedia? A couple friends and I made oldwikipedia.org

Hope you enjoy.
I did a survey of the cost of buying hard drives (of all sorts), microsd/sd, USB sticks, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and tape media (for tape drives).
I excluded used/refurbished options. Multi-packs (5 USB sticks) were excluded, except for optical media like CD-ROMs. Seagate drives were excluded because Seagate has a poor reputation.

Per TB, the options are (from cheapest to most expensive):
Changes since the last survey (4 months ago):
This year they were stored in a box on my shelf.
Will report back in 1 more year when I test the fourth 🙂
It’s no longer november, but I’m still doing a project a day. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!
Today’s project is Hack-An-Uptime (demo, source). It’s a simple experiment where you press a button every day.
This was a very simple project. I’m curious what will happen with it.

Yesterday’s project was Hack-A-TV-Guide (demo, source). It’s a TV Guide generated from Wikipedia. I got the idea from having written isrickandmortyout.com. Why not do the same thing, but for every show?
I’m going to call this one a flop. There’s a good version of this project, but I ran out of time. Basically all it does is display info about a show, which is not very useful.
I’m continuing Hack-A-Day, I think. Today’s project is Hack-A-Bug (demo, source). It’s a bug reporter I can add with one line to any of my projects.
It’s november, and I’ve decided this month that I’m going to do 30 projects in 30 days. It’s an all-month hack-a-thon!
This is November 30th, so this will be the last project.
Today’s project is Hack-An-MMO (demo, source). It’s a small collaborative art RPG. You can draw people, places, and things to populate the tiny world. Have fun!

Today’s project is Hack-An-Adventure (demo, source). It’s a coloring book. It’s designed to be relaxing.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Farm (demo, source). It’s a simple tile-based RPG. You can walk around as a chicken, admire your house, and plant and harvest two types of crops.
My main goal with this project was to work with spritesheets or animation before, which I had never done. Showing off the individual tiles is deliberate. Also, the game should respond well to smaller and larger screens, I hope.
I had a good time with this one, and I’m happy with how much I got done in a day. I originally planned to do more fluid walking (it was called Hack-A-Walk), but it was more fun to add crops instead.
I re-used some of the logic from Hack-A-Minigame and Hack-A-Snake. I’ve been finding d3 to be mildly useful, if a little annoying.

Today’s project is Hack-A-Snake (demo, source). Yesterday I wrote a game where an AI plays snake. Today I thought, hey, I should release that with keyboard controls so people can just play Snake.
