The Evolution of Refrigeration Manufacturing: Past, Present, and Future

Refrigeration has been a critical technology for preserving food and other perishable goods for centuries. The history of refrigeration dates back to ancient times when people stored food in ice caves, underground storage spaces, or used ice blocks to preserve food. However, it was not until the invention of the first refrigerator in the late 19th century that refrigeration technology really began to take off. In this blog post, we will explore the evolution of refrigeration manufacturing, including its past, present, and future.

 

The First Refrigerator

The first refrigerator was invented in 1876 by Carl von Linde, a German engineer who used the process of liquefied ammonia to create a cooling effect. Von Linde’s invention was a breakthrough in refrigeration technology, and it quickly became the foundation of the modern refrigeration industry. In the following years, various manufacturers began to develop their own refrigeration systems, each with their own unique features and components.

 

The Evolving Refrigeration Industry

In the early days of refrigeration manufacturing, companies focused on creating reliable and efficient refrigeration systems that could be used in a wide variety of applications. This led to the development of various types of refrigeration systems, including absorption refrigeration systems, which use heat to generate cooling, and compression refrigeration systems, which use electricity to generate cooling.

As refrigeration technology continued to evolve, manufacturers began to focus on improving the efficiency of refrigeration systems. This led to the development of new refrigeration components, such as compressors, evaporators, and condensers, which were

5 Best Practices for Explainer Videos

So, what distinguishes an excellent explainer video from the rest?

 

  1. Pay attention to your target audience.

It’s easy to get caught up in demonstrating your product’s or service’s qualities. However, keep in mind that you aren’t creating this explainer film for yourself or your coworkers. Rather than telling your audience how fantastic your product is, show them how your product or service may help them solve problems or make their life easier in general. Here are some important questions to consider:

What is the demographic of your target market? You can’t properly communicate with someone if you don’t know who you’re talking to. Keep in mind that the target market for a particular video may not be the same as your overall target market.

MalwareBytes – Why You Need it

At some point, if you use Microsoft Windows (although Macs aren’t immune anymore), we’ve all had the misfortune of being the victim of some sort of malware. Whether it’s pop up’s or something more sinister, it’s still one of the unavoidable consequences of being online.

We can fight back though and one of those weapons that I employ on a regular basis as an IT professional, is the fantastic Malwarebytes. I truly believe this is one of the best anti-malware programs out there. I’ve seen first-hand how effective it can be on computer infections and honestly think that every home user running Windows should use Malwarebytes to protect themselves from malicious software.

 

Several versions of Malwarebytes are available and these are split into home and business. In this post I will be focusing on the home user editions, specifically Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium. There is also a free version available, which I must mention, but this is a very restricted and limited in features and effectiveness compared to the pro version.

With the premium version you get these features:

Detects and eliminates malware your antivirus will miss – This is definitely true. I’ve seen instances of where the big boys in anti-virus removal either miss some malware or can’t remove it. The particular programs I’m referring to are twice, sometimes more, expensive than a copy of Malwarebyes. It is quite extraordinary.

Removes rootkits and repairs the files they damage – A rootkit is a set of software tools that enable

Localhost: Building & Testing Websites On A Local Machine

While the world may be waiting for your latest and greatest website there’s nothing like testing it locally for smoothing out the wrinkles or just getting to know how the process works. In this article I’ll take a look at ways you may want to do this.

In the main the article focuses on general web technology but it does include brief notes on an IIS installation.

IIS

IIS is the Microsoft webserver and allows you to run legacy .asp websites. IIS is included in the Windows installation but it is not installed by default. The latest version of IIS on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 is IIS 7 and is installed by choosing Programs from the Control Panel. Rather than reinvent the wheel I’ve provided a how to install IIS 7 link that outlines the steps involved.

XAMPP

Xampp is a self-contained development environment and includes the Apache Web server, a MySQL database and support for Perl and PHP scripting. The Apache webserver will not run legacy asp code or .Net applications without adding extra modules.The easiest way to install it is to download the latest version and follow the instructions. If you are installing on Linux follow the extremely easy instructions on the XAMPP site. 

In my own experience it is on Windows where problems tend to surface.I’ve an earlier post telling you how to do this.

Possible XAMPP problems: Port 80

If you have software like Skype installed it takes Port 80 if it is not

Securing Your Business

It seems that I’ve  started this session with a bit of an obsession about security. The latest Snapchat hack suggests I’m not wrong.

I recently began reviewing work I did for old and former clients and what I was doing for them.  I was not surprised to see that, in some cases, over 50% of the callouts or support calls were to do with virus problems. Most of those problems were caused by lack of anti-virus software or out of date software.Many users , both personal and business, seem to have the idea that computer purchases are  like buying cars. You pay for it,  give it some energy to run and maybe just maybe get it serviced each year.   If this sounds like the beginning of sales pitch then you might be right and there are lots of small business who will provide this service for $49.99 or similar but it’s not mine. You could check out the guys at Pisys.Net though – they are my go-to shop.

It is very much an example of the penny watching that small or micro businesses can spend a lot of their time doing.  Ironically, the cheap fix, not accompanied by some better security awareness, is just money for old rope for the computer fixers.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking for the best price but  if that involves multiple payouts something else will suffer.

Which brings me to what I wanted to talk about here – Anti-virus software and some pointers.
