GF100 Cards Finally Named: GTX 480 & GTX 470

Update: NVIDIA has confirmed that the Twitter account is indeed theirs, so this information is official. With a skeptical eye towards Twitter, a post was made on the NVIDIAGeForce account 4 hours ago announcing the names of the first two GF100 cards. As we’re largely sure this is a legitimate NVIDIA account we’re going to go ahead and post this information, but please keep in mind that we have not yet been able to confirm that this is indeed an official NVIDIA posting (it’s 10PM on the West Coast).

How To: Scan to PDF for Free

Danielle asked me if we could scan a document to PDF recently and I forgot I had a nice “old” Epson Perfection 1650 flatbed scanner laying around (well preserved).  I have been spoiled in recent times because we had a very nice enterprise level printer/scanner at the office with a 50 page document feeder on it. It would man handle a 2 page document and email it to me almost faster than I could make it back to my desk.  These days, we are rollin’ with the Perfection 1650 flatbed…OG style homey

How to test DateTime.Now?

This time I want to share with you some kind of testing pattern I got when tried to test some business rules that involves the “today” word. Imagine that you have a business rule that says “The system should retrieve a list with the not expired products” and “not expired” means “with the ExpirationDate property grater than now”. Usually, this could be implemented like this: public bool IsExpired { get { return ExpirationDate

Laptop-Free Weekend Experiment at Oakland Cafe

Cafes are still struggling to sort out their identities with everyone toting a laptop and wanting Internet access: My friend Cyrus Farivar tipped me to a cafe near him in Oakland, Calif., that’s trying not just turning off Wi-Fi, but asking folks to not use laptops at all. (That solves the 3G card problem, too.) The Actual Cafe’s owner, Sal Bednarz , posted a long entry on the experiment on a blog about the decision

Austin BBQ Review – Rudy’s BBQ

Rudy's BBQ is the Real Deal Installment number one, of what will hopefully be a long, drawn out, series of reviews spanning decades (because there are so many bbq joints to hit in TX) reviewing BBQ spots in Texas.  This really should be installment number two, Green Mesquite, being number one, but Rudy’s is fresh on my mind so it goes first. Rudy’s on 360, Austin, TX Seeing how we live very close to Rudy’s on Loop 360 it got the nod today for our family BBQ outing.  We had planned on heading out to the famous Salt Lick, but seeing how it was 35 degrees at 1:30, we opted for something closer and that we knew had indoor seating.  I did a quick peek at some reviews of Rudy’s on Yelp and I quickly became very excited about our choice.  Rudy’s has some 27 locations spread across Texas , and from what I understand, they all have gas stations attached to them….clearly something that probably wouldn’t fly back in Cali.  We walked in and were greeted with a “welcome y’all” from one of the girls behind the cash register and while extremely friendly, it threw us off a bit. You see, there are cash registers to the left as you walk in, but there is an ordering corral (like the security line at the airport) weaving back and forth up to a counter manned by 5 or 6 people.  Danielle blurted out, “this is our first time here.” The girl told us to head up threw the line to our right and they will take care of us…she also mentioned that we should tell the person helping us that it was our first time

Do You Have What it Takes?

When I was teaching high school, I was the stereotypical teacher who liked to decorate my classroom and have ‘inspirational’ posters and pretty decorations around to motivate my students. And if I’m being real, I think I chose some to motivate me more than my students. When I transitioned to my job at the university, only two of those items made the cut and became office worthy
