Monday was the first day of the 'Scotch on the Rocks' 2010 Adobe conference (sponsored by Fuzzy Orange). I went along for a couple of reasons. To see what has been happening in the community, what development ideas people were throwing around as it is a bit of a two day think tank, and to put some faces to the Twitter accounts I've been following.

This article is a breakdown of the first days seminars I attended, and some thoughts and considerations about the content on show.

I have been running two Nvidia 8800GTX graphics cards in a home pc, for about two to two and a half years now, they have been running fine, until last week, when they both went pop, within four days of each other!

This article explains my findings on this, and my ongoing discussions with Nvidia about a potentially fatally flawed driver release, and incredibly badly timed Warranty Expiration.

On Thursday 15 April only, take a re-usable travel flask into Starbucks and get any sized free hot or iced espresso drink worth about £2.65. Any drink with an espresso shot is included in the offer, for example a latte, cappuccino, americano, macchiato, inc. flavoured versions.

The offer's available nationwide from 7am to 11pm (provided your local store is open) at participating stores. For full details read about Starbuck's eco campaign 'the Big Picture'.

What counts as a reusable travel mug? It needs to be something you can transport your coffee in easily and that you will use again, eg a polystyrene cup won't work. A ceramic mug from home won't be accepted either. A bog-standard packed lunch flask should do the trick!
