On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, ‘Okay, this is the limit’. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

I always had a good life but everything I achieved was through dedication, perseverance and a great desire to achieve my goals, a great desire to win, win in the life, not as a racer. And to everyone who is watching this I tell you whoever you are, no matter what social life position you have, rich or poor, always have a goal, be strong, be determined and always make everything with much love and faith in God, so one day, somehow you’ll achieve all your goals.

It looks like there is a real problem with the touch screen ordering

Could also be veal…
It makes me sad ]]>I got an old 486 laptop from a friend. How do you decide what to do with it? Of course, you have to install OS/2.
Ebay and hours later…..

The paperback book costs $10.40 on Amazon. This required printing of the books, transportation from China to an Amazon warehouse, For the sake of this comparison, let’s assume this cost Penguin $5.00. Even if Amazon payed them $7.00, this would only leave a profit of $2.00 for penguin assuming no royalty is paid to the author.
The eBook is on sale for $12.99. I’m assuming eBook conversion from the authors word processing file or the press ready file took 8 hours the cost was negligible for the conversion.
H.P. Lovecraft has been dead for 80 years. The rights are very sketchy. Wikipedia has an entire section on it and I’m sure furtherer research would bear similar conclusions. I’m assuming that little if any royalties are paid to anybody for his works.
My conclusion is the Penguin Books is either incompetent or greedy. I’m going to err on the side of greedy since I’m sure it takes some intelligence to run a publishing firm.
Additionally, some additional search brought me to the following alternative copies of the book.

Nukey Brown Ale from Northern Brewer. This is yet another thing I spent years talking about and finally accomplishing. The next eight weeks can’t pass quickly enough.

I’ve used about 1/2 of this book so far. It hangs out in my back pocket all the time and has held up remarkably for the past 2 months. I have other notebooks, but this is my INBOX, shopping list, conference calls, etc book.
I could never do that to my beautiful http://fieldnotesbrand.com/ravens-wing/set. I need to find something really special for them.
]]>This seems like the expected behavior, but usually you are doing this to clarify something you wrote or to update the status on the email. The standard solution is to use Reply All which does get the email to the desired recipient, but this has the added annoyance that the email then winds up in your Inbox.
Gmail gets it right. Click reply on a message and it only includes the recipient, (or recipients), and does not include you.
I’ve decided that I’m sick of it. This should be a pretty simple fix. I have not experimented with the object/event model for Outlook, but I should be able to trap the new email creation on a reply and ensure that the initial recipients are in the To field for the new reply.
I hope to study and experiment with the Visual Studio Tools for Office on Saturday afternoon and create a plugin on Sunday. During next week, I will test myself and with others and hopefully package and release by Friday.

On my third try for Ginger Ale (it seems my recipe is more Ale than Beer) I made some more changes. * I doubled the ginger
* I used a citrus juicer
* I used champagne yeast
This resulted in a much more carbonated beverage. It really shared some taste characteristics with champagne. I still think the lemon overpowers the ginger. The sugar is about perfect at 3/4 cup, but it still precipitates out more than I would like.
Next attempt will be a radical departure. Simple syrup, extracting ginger with heat, a touch of clove or anise all will be tried.
]]>But when I’m on my laptop, I use AppleWin, an Apple 2 emulator for Windows. It is pretty full featured and does a very good job. Unfortunately it does have a small drawback.
My laptop’s native resolution is 1920 X 1080. This makes the default AppleWin window size of 622 x 427 very small and hard to read, especially as my eyes get worse every year.
I decided to dig into the source code, and see how easy it would be do double the size of the virtual window. After a few days of relearning C and rediscovering Windows GUI programming, I was able to produce a binary that does just that. The viewport is now 1120 x 768, up from 560 x 384.
I took a few shortcuts, so there are a couple of caveats to mention.
I plan on continuing my work on this and creating a proper patch to submit to the project. I would like to make the double size selectable from config screen, remove all the magic numbers and investigate reimplementing the progressive update logic.
Enough of the technical details, if you want to test this out, the zip below contains:

You can make Ginger Beer.
Start
Squeeze one lemon
Grab on cup of sugar
Use a funnel to put sugar and 1/4tsp of bakers yeast in a clean 2L bottle.
Grate about 1 1/4tsp of ginger
Squeeze the juice into the lemon juice
Fill the bottle to just below 1” from the top.
Turn the bottle over and over until the sugar, yeast, and juice are all mixed together.
