Should you be using namespaces in your PHP application development? In this article,
get an overview of namespace syntax, learn best practices for its use, and see a miniature
sample Model-View-Controller application that uses namespaces.

Here is a link to an IBM article that covers the topic well:
Leveraging PHP V5.3 namespaces for readable and maintainable code

I came across the best possible link for anyone interested in PSP Modding:
The ultimate psp guide

I updated my old PSP using this guide and it only took about 30 minutes to complete.

Make PCBs at home with magazine paper and your laser printer

Here is a good article on PHP Best Practices that I came across. While this is a little old, the content is not too bad and it covers:

• php.ini quirks
• single configuration file
• namespace
• database abstraction layer
• Value Objects
• Data Access Objects
• Generate code
• Business logic
• Page logic
• Presentation Layer
• Localization
• Making your application location independent
• Folder outline

Link to PHP Best Practices

In the end, the best practices of each developer will be determined by those around them.

Alternate JTAG SMC/Points Tutorial – Team Xecuter

This tutorial picks up from the JTAG Install part of the original Nand-X installation instructions present HERE. First you have to follow the tutorial upto the end of the installation of the NAND part of the Nand-X. Then continue onto the JTAG install from below here.

As for those who already have installed the Nand-X like it should be in its default condition, this tutorial is no different for you. The only difference being that you will have to delsolder the points(The points the Red are Yellow wires are soldered to i.e. DB1F1 and ROL respectively) you have already soldered to.

As the preface has been covered now, let’s move onto the actual tutorial:

I recently purchased a no name tablet from McBub.com. It was an 8″ Android 2.3 Tablet PC SAMSUNG S5PV210 ARM CoretexTM-A8 1.2GHz 512MB/4GB HDMI Camera MID(CN101510):

The problem was that the rom installed was kinda locked down, had a lot of Chinese language packs installed and was a little sluggish. So my search for a replacement rom started.  As I quickly found out, there was no information regarding this tablet anywhere. I decided to open it up and take a look at the motherboard. The first thing that I noticed was the SUMSUNG markings on it (not a typo). This is the mark of a FAKE Android tablet. This model is based on the Herotab MID816. I found a great rom MID816.com – 2011-04-19-MID816-Gingerbread-2.3.1-TassCustom-ROOT.rar from this thread: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/16948-image-herotab-mid816-custom-full-images-focus-board-gingerbread-231/.

After downloading the rom I followed these directions to install it:

DIY-er [Russell] wanted a quadcopter, and like many people
out there, he knew the satisfaction that would come from
building it himself. Rather than purchase a kit or follow a set
of online instructions, he spent a lot of time researching
quadcopters, and eventually put together a thorough tutorial
himself .
His Arduino- based quadcopter is named Scout and runs
about $1, 000 to $1, 200 depending on which parts you
choose to buy. [Russell] has a complete parts list available
on his site, including plenty of alternate component choices
for builders on a budget.
He covers the construction process in great detail,
discussing frame fabrication and component placement as
well as how to program the Arduino for the copter’s first
flight. He also takes the time to break down his component
list item by item to explain how each piece is part of the
greater puzzle, which is great for first time builders.
We love seeing this level of detail when discussing a build
process, and as you can see by the video embedded below,
his quadcopter looks great!
