Last week, I was looking for some digital signal processing books in library.nu. I suddenly found out that the site has stopped publishing links. The website only has the book information as the author and the ISBN numbers. I found it shocking that my best resource for free e-books has died off. Today when I opened library.nu..... the shutdown completely. RIP library.nu aka gigapedia.org Now I need to look out for another site to download free e-books.

For a long while I was using gigapedia to download free e-books from web. After long time when I saw the gigapedia changed to library.nu and the downloads are disabled. Well I searched for free e-book sites and I encountered this one, which has 20 best sites to download free e-books. Apart from these links, I found http://freebookspot.com is also a good source to download free e-books. Some times I find http://www.filestube.com also useful to directly search the titles I want. Here is the link for the 20 best websites to download free e-books: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/20-best-websites-to-download-free-e-books/

I wanted to develop some small apps for my android phone that I bought a month earlier. I thought the installation and writing apps would be difficult. I found the procedure easy by using eclipse plugins. The procedure to setup the android development environment is follows: 1. Install eclipse from the eclipse download page. 2. To publish app on the market. When i am set to publish the app on the market. It requires the following things. 1. Signature Certificate valid for minimum 50 years. 2. The name of the package should not start with com.android, com.java, com.market ... : So name your packages explicitly not containing keywords like android, market, google, example.. 3. You need to export the application from eclipse and then publish the app.

The android market is flooded with lots of apps. Some are free and some to buy. When something is for free and why go for paid apps. Although paid apps have some advantage over the free ones. APPS I INSTALLED: FINANCISTO: This app is great and did almost a financial planner does. APPS THAT I NEED TO INSTALL: RealCalc Scientific Calculator Wheres My Droid

I found that it supports various languages. #include >stdio.h< void main() { }
