If(0){ / Do something interesting. Friday, May 23, 2008. Engineers, Experience, and Education (Part 1). My first real experience with a co-op started as I waited nervously at the Gainesville Regional Airport. If you've never been to anything but a big international airport, you're missing out. Why You Want an Internship or Co-op. I distinctly remember how exciting internships and co-ops seemed when I first learned about them. Sadly, I was probably almost three years into my degree. When a profess...Co-op...

If Zero: July 2007

If(0){ / Do something interesting. Sunday, July 8, 2007. This weekend I decided to mail some photos to my grandmothers. The photos were digital so normally I might have printed them myself. Sadly, my HP printer has decided that it doesn't like my color ink cartridge anymore. I couldn't say if this is a ploy to sell more ink, but I have my suspicions. I looked for a solution on flickr.

If(0){ / Do something interesting. Saturday, February 15, 2014. Error: ImageIO: PNG Not a PNG file. Error : ImageIO: PNG Not a PNG file. Does your iOS app log the above message and fail to render an image? Do you feel completely befuddled? You're in the right place. But why did my image disappear? To begin at the end, the log message was 100% accurate. The PNG file wasn't a PNG file. It was a JPEG. But how did the UIImage ever render to the screen if it tried to open a JPEG as a PNG? But at some point th...

I looked for tutorials on how to add Unit Testing to an existing Android Project, but wasn't able to find anything too recent or complete.

I performed the following steps in the same workspace as the project I wished to write Unit Tests for. 8 In the new...

Dumb Little Man recently featured a great video of Rob Gruhi explaining how to negotiate the best price for a car. His advice is specific to new cars, but most of the principals apply to used cars as well. Here are some of my thoughts on buying a used car, based on my recent experience:. Like Rob says, the "off the lot price" is key. Never let the dealer talk about another price. As you find cars that meet your...
