PRINT2D - Part V - The Designer QR Code Difference | 2D Bar Code Strategy

PRINT2D - Part V - The Designer QR Code Difference | 2D Bar Code Strategy: Today, I conclude my five-part series on print to mobile agency, PRINT2D, with a look at their work in the area of designer QR Codes. PRINT2D's sister company Warbasse Design, who passed the mobile design torch to PRINT2D earlier this year, was initially responsible for creating some of the highest profile designer QR Codes in the industry. Their creations for Iron Man 2 and HBO's True Blood were very early demonstrations of what's possible. In 2010, Philip Warbasse's work in integrated media advertising for television lead to the discovery of a phenomena known as "vertical crush" which refers to the impact of screen aspect ratios on the scanability of QR Codes.

5DFilmMaking.com | Teaching YOU How To Make Movies With A DSLR

5DFilmMaking.com | Teaching YOU How To Make Movies With A DSLR: It's easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of gear available. As a beginner, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need every gadget and gizmo in order to do proper work. In reality, you only need a handful of items. Here's a list of the equipment that I actually use, and would consider essential. It's not necessarily the cheapest stuff out there, but I've learned (the hard way!) that it's better to buy a decent piece of gear once, rather than waste money (and aggravation) dealing with flimsy junk.

Posted on June 21, 2012by David2 Comments
Even though infographics are hugely popular I'm still surprised by the number of inquiries we get from people who aren't sure exactly what they are, how they are created or why they are important.

So, we sat down and decided to make an infographic about infographics!

Quick Tip: One Gmail Account = Multiple Test Email Addresses | Thu 1 Dec 2011 | Blog | CodeStore

Quick Tip: One Gmail Account = Multiple Test Email Addresses | Thu 1 Dec 2011 | Blog | CodeStore: Don't know about you but a lot of what I do requires having access to multiple email addresses (testing websites that require signup etc). To aide my development I have a few email accounts I use - a Gmail, a Hotmail, a Yahoo and a Google Apps one (my main account). That's only four addresses though, which can be quite limiting at times.

In steps Gmail. If you have a Gmail account then you have access to "infinite" email addresses using that one account.

Lifetime Risk of Developing or Dying From Cancer

Lifetime Risk of Developing or Dying From Cancer: Lifetime Risk of Developing or Dying From Cancer
The lifetime risk of developing or dying from cancer refers to the chance a person has, over the course of his or her lifetime (from birth to death), of being diagnosed with or dying from cancer. These risk estimates, like annual incidence and mortality data, provide another measure of how widespread cancer is in the United States.

The following tables list lifetime risks of developing and dying from certain cancers for men and women. The information is from the US National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Database, and is based on incidence and mortality data for the United States from 2006 through 2008, the most current years for which data are available.

Clonezilla - About

Clonezilla - About

You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®. The problem with these kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!
Clonezilla, based on DRBLPartclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!

Two Ways to Export Your Google Docs

Two Ways to Export Your Google Docs: I tried both Google Takeout and the built-in feature from Google Docs that lets you download your documents. Even if they have the same purpose, they're quite different. The Google Docs feature is more flexible: you can choose to download only spreadsheets or presentations and skip all the other documents. You can also skip the files uploaded to Google Docs and not converted to a Google Docs format (for example: PDF files, archives and video files). Google Takeout has a "configure" feature, but you can't skip one or more document types. Another subtle difference is that Google Takeout lets you export only the files that you own, while Google Docs exports all the files from your account.
