Glitches, Bugs and Exploits

Today I decided to talk to you about glitches, bugs and exploits. I will try to tell you what they are, what could cause them and some examples. For that though, I will need to go a little bit into detail about programming and whatnot, but I'll try to make it understandable for everyone!

I'd also like to thank the person that suggested that I talked about this :P

So let's get started!

Only 36 Hours left!

As you may or may not know, I'm a programmer for www.saltypeppergames.com and we're about to release our first game.

We made a kickstarter which is almost over! So check it out and pledge if you can, even $1 is helpful :)

There it is in its full length so you can see it without trouble :)

We're counting on you!

Cheers!

Web safety and anti-hacking tips

Internet security has been more and more efficient as time goes by. Vulnerabilities get patched, exploits fixed, bugs swatted, etc. Which is why in the world of hacking, Social Engineering (which is the ability to manipulate the user into doing exactly what the "hackers" want) has become more and more useful and some times the easiest and best way to steal data/account details/infect users with viruses/etc.

So here are a few tips for maintaining web security and a virus free computer without delving too much into the clichés such as "Having a different password for each site" and changing it regularly.

Tips on achieving greatness and knowledge while being motivated

Ok first of all I apologize for the confusing title.

I'm writing this to share with you something I learned by myself back when I was learning how to make an avoider game by reading tutorials (which turned into Sad Mary by the way, which I probably won't continue updating even though it's a mess).
And all this information I'm about to give you will, hopefully, make it easier for you to learn how to program or even program itself, as well as many other life-related activities that this could apply to, but I'll stick to programming since it's what made me realize this.

NOTE: Even though the examples I'm about to give are programming-related (mostly), this works with pretty much everything you encounter in life, so don't be discouraged if you don't like typing random strings of letters and symbols.

Learning how to program. Do it and don't give up!

Unless you don't really use technologies at all (which in that case you wouldn't even be reading this), learning how program will probably help you immensely!
And I'm not even talking about the current demand for programmers (but if you are looking for a job of course that might help).

The best part about programming is improvisation

That's right, programming requires a lot of creativity and active imagination, you can always come up with new ways to do things. Thinking outside the box and in non-conventional ways can help you come up with unique solutions to problems that might arise.

Here's the latest example of that that I had:
