I have given up on using Zoho Mail for custom email addresses, but have just discovered a different service: Yandex.Connect. This provides what is seemingly the same service as Zoho Mail, except it allows .tk , .ml , .ga , .gq and .cf domains (notice that these are all of the free ones from Freenom) - although when you sign up, make sure you do it through connect.yandex.com , as opposed to domain.yandex.com , which is an older service (they are migrating to Yandex.Connect) that doesn't allow all of the free domains. Yandex.Connect is a free service, with unlimited mailboxes of an unlimited size (as far as I know); I have now got a customised personal email address (matthew@grove.gq), along with ones for www.aquapi.ml and www.blackthunder.ga (a water-saving project and Reading School's Robotics Club, respectively). You may have noticed that I'm rather keen on finding money-saving (i.e. free) ways of doing normally costly things. So far, I have 8 domains, three of which...
I haven't posted for a few days, and in that time I have begun reading 'The Territory' , by Sarah Govett, and finished Black Thunder FLL's website! I have greatly increased the efficiency of the JS; have been working mainly on this file (see the file history by clicking the History button, or going here ). Firstly, from what I have read, 'The Territory' is a very good book: I love fantasy. Secondly, I have made Black Thunder FLL's home page a lot more efficient (and hopefully bug-free). I used to use setTimeout() statements to remove the underscore from the end of the title and main text. This was very inefficient, for multiple reasons: Sometimes the typewriting code was delayed, so the underscore was never removed; CPU usage was slightly higher, as the computer was running a timer; Instead of utilising the already running function, I ran another; The value of the final text was hard-coded, so there were two variables with the same contents...
My most recent project has been creating a new Material Design 2.0 demo website, used for hosting any small coding projects I may have (e.g. for Computer Science lessons). The idea came about last Thursday, after I was given a Computer Science assignment to replicate the Luhn Algorithm. I was already keen to experiment with Material Design 2.0 (what with it being released only a few months ago), and I enjoy developing websites - so a natural step was to create a Material Design web app. Firstly, you may be wondering what on earth is the Luhn Algorithm? It is a checksum algorithm used for credit cards and the like - it checks that the card number entered is valid, using a rather simple process: it reverses the digits, then each digit in an odd indexed position (based on zero-indexing) is doubled. If this comes to more than 9 (i.e. more than one digit), it subtracts 9 (the same as adding the digits). Finally, if the sum of all of the digits (replacing those at odd-indexed positi...
