      Beautiful! Now showing is Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages – nice piccy as well.

      On a totally unrelated note, we have been urged to watch for sign and symptoms of the flesh destroying Buruli bacillus, the effects of which are eminently irksome. 🙁

        Here’s the trailer:

        After watching the complete set one gets awarded the bronie tag. Will consider it! 🙂
        If one can’t feel super after watching an episode of Super Mario Bros Super Show then King Koopa has won, and therefore should be accorded the title Super Koopa, King of all Super Bloopahs!
        Body Heat kind of worked, with steamy shots of the Everglades, moody music from John Barry and a good cast including a rather dashing Ted Danson. The only thing that spoiled it was memories of viewing Double Indemnity years ago – a masterpiece in fact, thus the thing to do really is to watch Body Heat first, then Double Indemnity.
        Black Bear is a nuanced affair, the progression of the plot is something I didn’t quite get so it’s pencilled in for an encore viewing down the track.

          Don’t suppose you’re too sorry to see Gnome out in that case – or will it POP! back in from time to time as a Goblin instead? 😛
          Well done, considering the hundreds or repos at Github are managed by only 7 contributors. And from the release page:

          ◦ COSMIC Files
          ◦ COSMIC Store
          ◦ COSMIC Terminal
          ◦ COSMIC Text Editor
          ◦ COSMIC Media Player
          ◦ COSMIC Screenshot

          Cosmic Terminal has a promising ring to it, perhaps not the same kind of ring to be found around the Cosmic Terminal (or Terminus) at the centre of Andromeda, for instance. Would it boast an attractive and customizable 3270 blinkable cursor?

            Still getting things together – Lady of the Moon has a more recent post on her choices – there’s quite a bit to go on now.

              Yeah, pulling out windows.h is known to cause some pain! 😛
              Just remembered too, that those iscsym functions will have to be replaced with the wide char version iswcsym if building unicode, and of course, being windows specific functions, directives apply. Sigh. What’s the cross platform equivalent of those I wonder?

                *pID is the address of the first char in string, *pID + 1 the address of the second char in string and so on.
                With the const decl *pID is a pointer whose contents cannot be changed – once set of course. 😛
                Will do. 🙂

                  Censored over here – does it really come across that strong?
                  The old Sherlock Holmes films were fabulous as were those with Margaret Rutherford. 🙂
                  Yep, Spongebob, like The Simpsons along with a host of like others do not lend themselves to filigree cartoonery. 😛
                  Enjoyed Showtrial (both seasons) more than some of the critics it seems. Enough pace, drama and tension to allay the jaundice from many an eye methinks – but not all!
                  Something about the scripted character of Mia (and some others) didn’t quite convince in the first few episodes of Little Fires Everywhere (miniseries), happily not so much the case once into the swing of things. The exposition of racial themes, together with those arty and poetic as expressed by boisterous teenagers also add to the mix. A busy plot including multiple flashbacks keep the fires of interest smouldering at least. 🙂

                    Not a lot there that caught this eye – the keyboards are a bit pricey – nice colour arrangement and cool Discord logo on the Esc key.
                    Discord TKL Mechanical Keyboard
                    The buttons for the themes don’t do anything in Chrome, and the webpage won’t reveal all until it’s maximised. Similar to the issue in the GOG forums, where a very helpful poster assisted with the recovery of some old posts as well. 🙂
                    Have you come across Weblate – if it’s being used for Wrye Bash with positive results- why not a milestone at least for a multilingual MWEdit?

                      There’s a “stabilized” version of the short on Wikipedia now.
                      Just out is Ufology: From Fringe to Mainstream to Fringe?. Fatigue is a key word, perhaps even a little trepidation from the likes of

                      cryptoterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, extratempestrials, and interdimensionals

                      And a shout out to Xenotrophs! 🙂
                      hmmm could a more upbeat title go like Ufology: From Cringe to Hinged to … Binged!. Probably not. 😛
                      Disclosure Day will certainly be one to watch. 🙂

                        why bother about cryptocurrency when you can have your own bespoke coin collection?

                        “The Weekly” show is a lot of fun, do have a soft spot for the Rhys Nicholson spot, the Tom Gleeson spot, and this spot for a well seasoned reviewer:

                        Posted some Chenille clips at AL – here’s one of them:

                          Nice unit – a bit like the A8 in many respects, both lacking NFC but supporting USB OTG and IEC 61960 standard, here’s the AU/NZ version, funny Samsung doesn’t list the A7 on the US page at all. Scrolling down the bottom of that AU/NZ page see the unreadble text. It actually copies to clipboard as readable text with stuff like:

                          *Display Size: Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners

                          Kind of figured that. 😛
                          Apparently it’s the opinion of some that these models are slow – the A8 isn’t too bad loading up pages over here, the benchmark comparison assumes yours is 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Mine is 4/128 – amazingly only one point better than if set to 3/32. Optimising helps a bit, as does laboriously going through and disabling stuff and clearing caches etc. – it’s also possible to disable Bixby. One could wish for Knox to be throttled during heavy page loads- not happening any time soon. 🙁
                          Do use the Google search still, the age old issue of the Google Discover tab buttons continues unabated. 🙁

                            Will heed the advice! Elephants never forget either and they also exhibit altruistic behaviour.
                            Did post a review at Amazon of the dogs’ trampoline beds, to see reviews one has to logged in these days. There’s a comprehensive explanation of why here:

                              Another thing is the Get/SetFuncData pulls up all the script variables, SCVR also enumerated here.
                              One supposes journal records can be referenced in scripts, if not, it’s less to worry about.
                              What’s clear as a pea soup fog is why SCVR is used only in info_dlg and not in any other UI modules – even the scr_... ones. Dave has explained much of it rather well in the Format of Morrowind’s ESM Plug-In File found on the UESP Portuguese Mod Format page. A curious recurrent logged error can be generated from some mods:

                              Found malformed SCVR rule in INFO “some_alpha-numeric_id”

                              Rule?
                              Bleh, something happened on the DIAL page- might be a thing for Robin later.
                              Do have a soft spot for the old UESP format. 🙂

                                We may need it, it may be along the lines of this. Not quite sure how all this works yet. 🙁
                                This file uses CEsmInfo, all referenced here, as a matter of interest func_help_view... does not, referencing CEsmScrFunc and CEsmScrFunc…, running this in a live build with the game might shed more light on what it actually does. 🙂

                                  Yep, especially in the boondocks where the tv towers transmit a max of 1080p only. In that case even a 4k outfit would have issues.
                                  Not so for internet streaming, where most of the content providers detect one’s resolution in advance.
                                  The cavity magnetron in the microwave oven broke due to user error. The poor thing was operated on empty too many times!
                                  So purchased a newer model of the defunct NeoChef, 25L Smart Inverter, working wonderfully. In attempting to register the product with LG, Googled “Register LG Product” rather than navigate from the model page. The first hit was an LG Home page with prompt for sign in. Fine, so signed up to register the product, only to find the model was not listed. Oh dear what the Google, somehow got on to the Saudi Arabian LG site instead. The credentials cannot be used in other countries unfortunately, so contacted them by the web form requesting transfer of the account.
                                  Odds on they won’t be able to do it though. 😛

                                    adding the headers for those types

                                    The dilemma of having one Header file for all types, or having the types all over the place. For example Igor the 7-zip guy had them all in one file, a file that was pulled in by most of the other headers.

                                      Speaking of reproduction this comes to mind from Stallman:

                                      If I’m the father of Open Source, it was conceived through artificial insemination using stolen sperm without my knowledge or consent.

                                      There was a lovely shower pf rain while asleep early this morning. Couldn’t remember whether the rain gauge was emptied from before so went to Google to find out if it had rained. Not as easy as one would suppose, finally got the latest for a nearby location which is good enough. 🙂
                                      Submitted some more observations to inaturalist, a giant slug being an eye opener. Over your way the Burmese Python is having an impact. 🙁

                                        This should make sense of it, or as someone suggested put #define _WINSOCKAPI_ in stdafx.h, or pch.h if using it. Out of interest, Unreal engine uses MinWindows.h. 🙂
                                        Yep, atol might do it, and then convert it to either of these. Or bitshift?

                                          See what you mean, using #include <windows.h> automatically includes winsock.h so our marvellous AI suggests:

                                          #include <winsock2.h>
                                          #include <windows.h>

                                          AFAIKS there are six instances where this wants to be changed.
                                          Put it where, for example, a file is to be opened so you get the file name – here’s the function. 🙂

                                          Edit: No _WIN32 directive for xml_file.cc. Apparently MWEdit and native Morrowind don’t use xml, OpenMW does … interesting.
                                          WindowsHModular is an experimental alternative to windows.h – might be best to use that for project creation rather than restoration. 😛

                                            Sounds good. 🙂
                                            In the debug builds I would tend to ditch WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in favour of stdafx.h until other issues are sorted, WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN can knock out other things if they are tweaked or decoupled. Your call.
                                            In ScrollCall there’s:

                                                static const INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX commonCtrls =
                                                {
                                                sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX),
                                                ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES | ICC_BAR_CLASSES
                                                };
                                            
                                                InitCommonControlsEx(&commonCtrls);
                                            

                                            HTH 🙂
