Hi everyone, Today, I’ll show you images of the APC Back-UPS PRO 1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply. I got this backup battery for 2 main reasons: To protect my equipments To maintain them running if a power blackout occurs. I got it on Amazon and it is currently handling 600-700W of power with no issues at all and gives me an estimate 5 to 8 minutes of runtime. Please keep in mind this number can be increased as this UPS supports…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll show you my unboxing of my brand-new monitor, the LG 29UM68-P UltraWide IPS Monitor. My main reason to get this monitor is related to productivity, as I like to use a lot of windows at a time and this monitor is actually the one I have at my work. It’s really a game changer when it comes to multitasking, as I can now place a window at a side and see all of the…
Hi everyone, Today, I made an update to the Gridcoin New User Report Generator, which allows the software to be scheduled in order to generate the reports. Basically, what this means is that the GUI (Graphical User Interface) can be used to select the projects we want to include in the report and also generate the report, but also means that we can just use the terminal, pass the “-s” argument, and it will generate the report taking into account…
This is the moon as I saw it today morning when I arrived at my work. I always get to see the moon in my way to the work, and it’s like the moon is watching me, or if I’m watching it. Who knows if there’s the love of my life watching it as well, but anyway, the moon looks beautiful every day. Post Views: 11
Hi everyone, Today, I’m going to share my favorite cake. It is the Oreo Cake that I’ve seen at Publix here in Florida, USA. The box looks like this: Why I like this cake? It’s basically Ice Cream of Cookies and Cream but with Oreo pieces, and the huge Oreo piece at the center of the cake is very delicious as well. This is a perfect cake for birthdays or to just eat it on your own. Anyways, it tastes…
Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to show you another nice badge that I got due to my Distributed Computing contribution. This time, the badge is from the World Community Grid project, specifically, the FightAIDS@Home – Phase 2. I got the Diamond 10 Year badge, which is awarded once you do 10 years CPU time contribution. This badge looks as follows: This is the notice I got in BOINC: And these are my stats up until this point: Right now, I’m…
Hi everyone, As you may know, I participate in Distributed Computing projects that runs in the BOINC platform. Recently, OLDK1 was whitelisted in the Gridcoin project whitelist, so I decided to give this project a chance. OLDK1 is a project that primarily processes Latin Squares. To my surprise, in just a few days, I earned the 100K credit badge and I also earned the 25% contribution badge: Hosts connected to this project: Yup, I have my Intel and AMD machines crunching…
Hi everyone, Today, I was looking at the Gridcoin New User Report Generator Software code and I did a simple mistake with one variable. Turns out I had a StreamReader object with the name MySQLFile in the GenerateReport.vb module. That object should have been named AccountFile as that StreamReader reads the account information to which the report will get posted. So I went and fixed it. The commit I made today is the following: Of course, this doesn’t affect the software functionality, but it does make…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll share a software I developed several years ago. This software is very very very simple. It features just 2 buttons and a large number. That number is the counter. The + button will add numbers to the counter: To subtract, we press the – button: And well, that’s the software. It’s a very very very simple software I designed just for fun. I was really bored back then. So, since it was so old,…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll show you some pictures of the route from the I-75 to Florida’s Turnpike, in the direction fron Ocala to Orlando. Let’s begin our journey! Now, it’s all a straight highway until we begin reaching Orlando’s I-4 signs. Now, this is my favorite part of the road. Ok, let’s continue the travel. Here, this trip ends, as I was going to a house somewhere around after that exit, so I kept an eye on the…
