Introduction to command line programming in C++ using Visual Studio 2012

Aside January 8, 2013 Mike Leave a comment

The main issue I have with Visual Studio is the lack of intuition it possesses when creating simple command line programs.

First to create a new console application:

File > New > Project >Visual C++ > Win32 > Console Application

YOUR CODE HERE!

Here is where things get annoying: Continue reading Introduction to command line programming in C++ using Visual Studio 2012 →

Jupiter: Through the Telescope

Aside October 7, 2012 Mike 1 Comment
Jupiter
A 100% crop of Jupiter taken with a Canon Powershot A95 mounted on a Newtonian style telescope.

If you are thinking about buying a telescope, please manage your expectations. I have a 5″ Newtonian Reflector scope which I picked up used for about $150. The image quality you can expect is marginal at best. Notice the bands on Jupiter? They are barely present. The storm is not visible whatsoever at this magnification. If you expect to see detail much greater than this, you could probably spend a bit more on a Dobsonian if you don’t mind the weight.

If astrophotography is your goal, I would recommend a refractor mounted to a Canon 60Da SLR body. This combo will run upwards of $2000 but should provide the best results.

ROGERS IGNITE 250u review

Aside March 5, 2015 Mike Leave a comment

Today I switched to Rogers’ newest service, ROGERS IGNITE 250u, why the all-caps is beyond me. That is unlimited usage tier, with 250mbps download, and 20mbps upload bandwidth. It is $69.99 for 3 months, then $95 after that. I was unable to use my existing retention discount of 25% in addition to the 3 month discount, but it worked out for me to use my retentions discount as it lasts longer.

Here are the details:

ROGERS IGNITE 250u

UNLIMITED USAGE

Speeds up to:

  • 250Mbps DOWNLOAD
  • 20Mbps UPLOAD

But I am actually receiving significantly more on the download end, at 320Mbps!

MySQL Optimization Dillema

Aside December 5, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

In response to this post, I have compiled some charts showing the memory usage of my VPS – specifically relating to MySQL, to determine whether or not I should not use InnoDB. Note that, this site is running on an InnoDB schema and so there would be additional migration steps to reap the benefits of disabling this feature. Check out the figures  Continue reading MySQL Optimization Dillema →
