1800PocketPC.com -- What do you guys think ?

Hi fellas
I have a windows mobile site 1800PocketPC.com, its just over a year old. I was wondering if you guys have heard of it ?
We usually post about freewares and the latest hardware news about windows mobile. We dont have a forum for people to hang out coz we think as long as xda-devs and ppcgeeks are there why would anyone need a forum for windows mobile. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism about the site and ways we can improve the site.
You can also subscribe to our RSS ot Twitter

I know your site for some time and it´s very good, I like the format (exept for a narrower line of adds on the right)
Congrats!

I go all the time

I really like the site,
only thing is you could be be a little bit more "selective" or "picky"
At least what I think this could be "Pearls and beauty" of xda-developers.com for the average guy.
- I really like the category style!
- The Wallpaper stuff: Naaaahh I think you will catch some fishes with this but is it really needed? I think it makes the site look a bit cheap.
- RSS and twitter is great: every Headline was a hit so far (well some exeptions but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
- Customisable rss and twitter by categorys and user would be the ultimate I think (but this would almost need the power of a socialnetwork)
- You are already on the top scores of google! (at least when I search for something)
- You can discover the real beauty of google translator when visiting your site Microfi Nitrogen -> Microfi Stickstoff (Germans get the joke)
but besides of the jokes it can be really usefull.
- I can´t test right now but have you checked "freedom from barriers"? The new "touchscreen generation" of phones might be great for handicapped persons. Would also be great to have a rating system for them as well.
So far really great
THX for this site

thanks for the kind words fellas.
@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.
I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?

Hi sajio,
You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.
Regards
Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.
I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.

I know your site a while ago, and I like very much.
Keep it up

I go there @ll the time nice job!

thanks guys

i love it and subscribe to rss for it. thanks for you hard work.

you are welcome

Face Tomorrow - Move on (Animated short)

After 3 to 4 months of EXTREME hard work (workload level: over 9000),
I finished a video clip I made for an awesome band, Face Tomorrow.
This was my first real animation job, since the previous animated short
was made for a minor, Imagination, at my university TUDelft.
The clip was created using mainly: Photoshop, After Effects and 3ds Max.
A great source of inspiration was for instance the game Limbo,
because Limbo's atmosphere tells a touching story on its own.
Would you mind taking a look and giving me your honest opinion?
(I greatly appreciate criticism)
Thank you! If you like it, please feel free to share it! The bigger the audience, the better

Seriously, that is one of the best music vids I've ever seen. You've got some mad creative and technical skills there man. I see a VERY bright future for you! Also an awesome song too.
It was very compelling - I couldn't stop watching, waiting to see what was gonna happen next.
Absolutely outstanding - I loved it.

Wow! FANTASTIC man, just fantastic!

Wow thanks guys!! may I quote parts of your opinions on a testimonial section on my website?
I hope to hear some more, though! If you have anything to say: negative/positive, tell me! I'd love to hear it

Thanks for such a great feedback, everyone . Can't wait to hear some more opinions. Again: positive/negative feedback is all welcome. Negative opinions allow me to improve myself. I have been working on this far too much to see what is wrong or right with this animation. ;p

yes they are gone. i talked to jeff. it has to do with the moderators taking back the portal and youtube channel and undoing all the changes they made. sam, bob, and jeff are gone i believe. they are now doing super user tv for rootzwiki

Seems very stupid by the MODS...Why would you remove your most popular assets....? I need an explanation

sassi has some random new vid about a vid she's going to do (VEDA?), looks like she just didn't want to sleep lol.
Sam is going to be on the new rootz show tonight.

Azrienoch and Bob choose to leave XDA. It is their choice. The mods hold no ill will towards anyone. Sometimes things change. We wish azrienoch and Bob all the luck with their new pursuits.

Exactly. We are looking for Hosts to create fun and exciting videos for the members of XDA and the world at large. There is a lot of exciting things in to works and if anyone has any ideas and/or wants to talk about becoming a host, feel free to hit me up, with a private message.
I hope everyone is enjoying the Videos from AdamOutler and Shen.

It's very sad message. I m very unhappy to hear this.

Az is my favorite host Sam too.

Well, if Az, Sassi & Sam are gone, there is no reason to watch XDA-TV anymore...

seriously? the biggest mistake of XDA TV. XDA TV do something. bring them back!

to be fair some of the things I've been reading and also seeing how some members treat others It wont be long until lots more are driven away to elsewhere too which is a shame b/c this is a great place and XDA TV is a great asset.
Some members think just b/c they are popular or have a popular Rom out or something that they can speak to less knowledgeable members like crap which as lead to their followers in them threads thinking its ok to do the same

More power to em. The way xda has been treating is readers/users lately has been very unprofessional. See yall over at rootz

Jordan's Thread

So, it looks like I completely forgot to do this, oops.
I'm Jordan. I generally do the weekly (or semiweekly) news recaps for the XDA Portal, but I got my start on YouTube with my other channel, http://youtube.com/thisweekinlinux, where I talked about Linux news, created screencast-style tutorials, and reviewed Linux distributions.
I've recently relaunched my YouTube "career" by creating a new channel, http://youtube.com/twildottv, where I'll be talking about not only Linux, but Android, hardware, software, and just geeky topics in general. Feel free to subscribe if you like my content!
I'm around pretty regularly, so feel free to ask me whatever you like!
UPDATE: As of this past weekend, I'm also running a gaming channel on YouTube, http://youtube.com/twilplays, where I'll be doing gaming commentary on all sorts of different platforms, and hopefully doing some tabletop gaming videos as well in the future. Check that out, if you're interested!

Hey Jordan! I've been watching your content on your very first channel ThisWeekInLinux on YouTube, and it was amazing and cool then, and still is now, but better and with the start of your new career with XDA (I'm jealous ), you can ONLY get better. So keep it up, sir! Good luck!

Love your videos bro, I actually watch them as soon as they come out. I appreciate the business-like approach and professionalism that comes with good recording equipment! I wasn't a big fan of the jackassery and all-around goofiness that was borderline pompous from previous hosts. You rock dude!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments!
I actually liked the previous hosts as well. They were a large part of the reason I wanted to be a on XDA TV in the first place. I have to thank them for the foundation they helped build for the channel, and I hope that I can continue to do it justice in the coming days/weeks/months/whatever until people get tired of watching me.

You are one awsome host!!!! I have a little more info every time I watch your videos.........like the Molecular structure of Caffeine

Love your videos Jordan
I think we need some more from you on the XDA channel too, share the love to more viewers

Thanks, Quinny! I was trying to upload it to the minecraft.net profile page, yes. Tried just a downloaded one from one of the referenced minecraft skins sites, and then one that I edited myself, and no dice either time. I also went through and did the migration to the Mojang account thing, and tried uploading afterward. No luck.
Definitely seems that the servers are just having issues. I'll try again later today and see if it works.

Jordan, since I see you are a linux guy, could you please do a video about NANDROID for the HTC Touch HD (WinMo phone) which is on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914723 ??
Maybe you could talk a little bit about the ROM and possibly help on our biggest problem to make this ROM a daily driver: Wifi. The problem is kernel related, and all functions work on the SD builds, which run by executing Handheld Reverse Engineering Tool (or HaRET). Of course, with a NAND ROM, we would boot up Linux right away!
I know it's Gingerbread only, and the kernel is only a .27, but everyone is waiting for a fully functional ROM for this device. Maybe later we could upgrade kernel and, who knows, maybe moving to ICS.
I'm not asking for a whole new video about this, just asking you to talk about it when you report the news (which I think is every week).
Thank you for reading,
