Building a random name generator

Leave a comment

Last night I had fun building a  little random name generator for my friend Adam and my wife. They both write and sometimes it is difficult to come up with names for characters, that is where the new tool comes in handy: Character Name Generator Every time you refresh the page you get a new name 🙂 I used to code a lot of fun little projects like this but lately I have not made time for it.

Micathermic heater (and why they are so thin)

2 comments

While researching vented propane heaters, as well as electric heaters, I came across a listing for a micathermic heater. What the heck is a micathermic heater?! Well, it turns out this type of heater simply has a conventional electric heating element that is sandwiched between thin sheets of the mineral mica. How can they be so thin?  Efficiency?

Upgrade Acer Aspire One AO722 memory/RAM

130 comments

UPDATE: Many readers have asked what memory I recommend for upgrading the A0722. My recommendation is 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 Kingston memory because it offers a lifetime warranty, solid performance AND it is only about $22 with free shipping! 🙂 Another great way to improve performance is to replace the AO722’s slow hard drive with a SSD. The Crucial M4 128GB (which includes a data transfer kit) or the Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB (drive only) are my top two choices. They both offer 3 year warranties along with
