When I want to know more info about pretty much anything I will go to Wikipedia. It's a site I use to get knowledge. But if I want more info about a film, including some trailers, I will go to IMDB. It's another site I use for finding out knowledge, only for films. I am interested to know what types of knowledge do you find yourself regularly searching for, and what sites do you use for finding this? Note I am referring to sites that are devoted to the knowledge your after; the guys who actually host the info you learn. So no search engines! |

Toasty Tech for graphical user interface galleries. Both interesting historically and useful when you make your own skins. Wotsit for file formats. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

*shrugs* tv.com for telly episode guides, but if you want actor info you have to head to imdb! Php.net for info on that.. But none of those I go straight to. I usually do Google, then end up there!! Oh, no, there is one.. If i want an Emulator, I head straight for Zophar's Domain.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I always used emuunlim.org for my emulators, but admittedly I've not visited it in about 5 years. At the time it had pretty much all emulators linked there; dunno if it's still as up to date.

The Free Dictionary for anything related to English. It has definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and I've never ever found a word which hasn't been there. The design is ugly, but I don't go there for eye candy. Wolfram Alpha for solving equations. More versatile than a regular calculator, quicker than pen & paper. C++ standard library reference. I don't go there very often anymore, but it is handy every once in a while. |

The MSDN knowledgebase. I feel like I use that a lot when I'm doing some kind of windows-specific development. Maybe you could count WolframAlpha. Otherwise I use the various textbooks and past class notes for reference to things and concepts. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

Theres a this really cool site called Google that I've been using for a while now. I think this site could go big here soon.

That's the thing though, isn't it. No matter what sites I do tend to frequently end up at, I do still end there because of Google. I've been trying to think of this all night, but Zophar's Domain is still the only single specific site that I purposely go for, to get a specific type of info. Other than that, my bookmarked sites are all news sites, and ... then there's Google. How ever-present that thing is, nowadays. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

How Stuff Works? If you have a few minutes of downtime, it's always fun to read a random article. Rainbows and eyeballs are especially interesting... I met the creator of HowStuffWorks back in middle school - just a little fun fact. -=-=- My Twitter
