Gembecki Mechanical Services, Inc. - A greate HVAC contractor working out of Central Florida!

So, my AC stopped working last night. I live in Central Florida, and it’s August, which means I was in hell. Melissa and I tried to fix the issue, but eventually accepted that we needed a professional to repair the system. A mechanical engineering friend of mine recommended Gembecki Mechanical, so I gave them a call. I was quite pleased.

Melissa had called me yesterday morning to let me know something was up with the AC system. I was really busy at work, and hoped she was just crazy. I forgot about the problem, went to the CoLab Orlando open house and came home. When I got home, I learned quite quickly, that Melissa was not crazy at all. Continue reading →

UCF Insider

So, my buddy Alex, a Web Developer in Melbourne, came up with the idea to aggregate news to a single site: ucfinsider.com. It’s a killer site with a ton of information from a variety of sources about UCF sports. I’m not sure what gave him the idea, but I think it might have something to do with the lackluster reporting of UCF sports from the local paper, the Orlando Sentinel.

Yeah, so UCF Insider rocks, and you should check it out.

So, I was watching RoboCop last night, and I noticed something a little peculiar. During the scenes where RoboCop is being tested before use, his prompt screen shows some MS-DOS like boot sequences. Here, check this out:

RoboCop's Boot Screen

For those of you who don’t immediately see what I’m talking about, look at the lines on the screen ‘command.com’, ‘config.sys’, ‘bio.com’, ‘comspec.exe’, and ‘memory.dat’. Those are all very MS-DOS like files that run under typically Windows operating systems.

Seems appropriate, I suppose. Just think about it: “Police states of the future choose Microsoft!”
