Anyone know a good credit card and electronic check processing company?

Yady’s Alterations, a full service clothing alterations and tailoring shop in Downtown Charlottesville has a new website:

http://www.YadysAlterations.com

While they’ve only been in Charlottesville for a few years, they’ve been doing this kind of work internationally for a while:

Yady’s Alterations brings you more than 30 years experience. Our goal is to satisfy our customers with the lowest price in shortest time.

A great family-owned and operated business, they are happy to tackle any job, big or small:

From custom couture to small repairs, bridesmaid’s dresses to backpacks, costumes to curtains, Yady’s Alteration has done it all.

Can’t get the right fit? Arms are too long? Pants are too short? Just a small hole doesn’t have to ruin it. That backpack would be perfect if it only had that extra feature. We have a solution to these common problems. We alter clothing and add features to equipment, returning your item with a “factory finished” look.

They’re a great “Green” asset for our town because they can fix things that we might normally be tempted to trash and replace.

We have the experience to bring your items back to “good as new” status. Most zipper repairs are simple and inexpensive. We offer many alternatives for repairing rips and tears with multiple color and fabric choices. We can repair almost anything including tents, packs, parkas, pants, sleeping bags, and dry suits.

We also make dresses, pants, skirts, shirts, coats, jackets, pajamas, nighties, robes, pillows, curtains, and costumes for any event.

I’m looking forward to many years of success for them in Charlottesville.

Since the Java Users Group fizzled out a few years ago, there haven’t been a lot of networking opportunities for programmers in town. Now that’s probably the least reason why you should pay attention to beCamp 2010.

beCamp 2010 is almost here! April 30th and May 1st are just four weeks away!

If you’re a geek in or around the Charlottesville metroplex or even if you’re merely tech-curious, this is the event you don’t want to miss. beCamp is Charlottesville’s version of the BarCamp unconference phenomenon—organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees. Realizing that the most energizing parts of any tech conference are the ad hoc conversations that take place in the hallways between the sessions, beCamp facilitates these types of interactions for an entire event.

So if you’re a programmer (or “geek” or “tech-curious”) in Charlottesville and NOT trekking to Reston for No Fluff Just Stuff Sign up and show up. I have some experience with the Open-Spaces-Technology philosophy of conference and the results are consistently interesting and unexpected.
