The GAO report heavily criticizes our federal government’s reliance on the assumption that carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies will be the solution to curb massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from coal-fired power plants. Based on a review of where the technological development of CCS stands, the report concludes that sole reliance upon it, as a strategy to curb carbon emissions, is both unrealistic and dangerous. About half of our nation’s electric power is gener

Weight. What is a Carat? Diamonds are sold by the carat (CT), not to be confused with Karat (KT), which in the United States refers to gold quality. Since 1913 most countries have agreed that a carat weighs 200 milligram, or 1/5 gram. Before 1913 the carat weight varied depending upon the country of origin, the Indian carat didn’t weigh the same as the English carat; the French carat was different from the Indian or the English. This is important if you have, or are thinking of buying , a ver

This post is (as oftentimes my posts are) made of a number of somewhat unrelated thoughts. Hurrah!

In my last post I talked about why metrics are important and what the goals are in using metrics. In this post I’ll talk about the bug process. How does your team handle bugs, how can you gather metrics on it and which metrics are important? This post covers the process itself.

And if this looks like the start of a new methodology, well, it is and it isn’t. It

So, I've been "lightly" approached about developing something to monitor a new type of system that my dad and another contractor are starting to install.

Also keep in mind, that none of this has to be precision... Just somewhat re
