Friday, May 18, 2007. 7:00 PM. Location: Fools Foundation – 1025 19th St, Sacramento. Off of K St between 19th & 20th next to the back end of Old Spaghetti Factory. Admission: $5.00. With 42 official selections and 9 awards to-date, this fascinating and well crafted dramatic narrative finally makes its way to Sacramento! Starring Steve Guttenberg (in a decidedly different performance from his role in the Police Academy series), Annabeth Gish (Mystic Pizza, The X-Files, The West Wing), and Christine Elise McCarthy (ER, American Hardcore). In the middle of the Mojave desert, just outside Las Vegas, rests an abandoned phone booth, riddled with bullet holes, graffiti, its windows broken, but otherwise functioning. Word of the phone booth initially spread via the Internet in the mid 1990’s, and for years, travelers would make the trek down a lonely dirt road and camp next to the booth in the hopes that it might suddenly ring, and they could connect with a stranger - often from another country. This is the story of four disparate characters whose lives intersect with this mystical outpost, and the common voice they seek on the other end of the line. Exploring themes of love, death, the mystery of the universe, and the phenomenon of inter-connectivity, Mojave Phone Booth pitches us into the psyches of these characters, examines the double-lives we lead, and the sacrifices we must make to survive in these challenging times.

Threading & Concurrency with .Net
Where: New Horizons Learning Center
Date: 2007-08-14 18:30:00

The proliferation of multi-core processors means developers are being dragged into a multi-threaded world. For applications to take advantage of the newest processors, which today are 2 and 4 cores, but tomorrow will be 8 & 16 cores, developers need to know how to write multi-threaded code. Multi-threaded development, along with Asynchronous Programming, is considered by most developers to be mysterious and difficult topic. In this presentation, I cover the pros and cons of multi-threaded development with .Net, and review the common mistakes people make. Topics covered will include: When & how to use the System Thread Pool When & how to use Asynchronous I/O Creating and managing your own threads Synchronization and locking techniques Techniques for debugging multi-threaded code Some of the areas covered in detail will be Interlocked Methods and Volatile variables, Monitors and Events, the ReaderWriter lock, and the relevant differences between x86, x64 and IA64. Time permitting, I'll also show how to tune multi-threaded applications using the various .Net Profilers on the market, and play "find the deadlock" for prizes.

July 6 In the Year of the Pig Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St. Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of Old Spaghetti Factory. 7:00 PM. Admission: $5.00. Emile de Antonio's stunning Academy Award-nominated anti-war documentary from 1968 on the US in Vietnam, filmed at the height of our involvement. Upon initial release, reaction against it was so strong that theaters which ran it received bomb threats and had screens painted over. Interspersing footage from Vietnam with interviews of politicians, academics and military and intelligence personnel, the film traces the history of Vietnam and how it was manipulated by external forces, ultimately resulting in the Vietnam War. de Antonio shows mastery at simply allowing people to talk, and thus hang themselves with their own words - a tactic which Michael Moore is also very adept at. Not only is this film important for historical reasons, but maintains much relevance given our current involvement in Iraq. Listening to some of the interviews in this doc seem very strangely familiar - as if you have very recently heard extremely similar statements supporting the reasons for the US being in Iraq... We are doing regular weekly film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - most are $5 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to time.
