      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. ๐Ÿ™‚

          We may need it, it may be along the lines of this. Not quite sure how all this works yet. ๐Ÿ™
          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. ๐Ÿ™‚

            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. ๐Ÿ˜›

              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.

                A spaceship in the form of a phallus might also provide a boost to the desire!
                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. ๐Ÿ™‚
                Submitted some more observations to inaturalist, a giant slug being an eye opener. Over your way the Burmese Python is having an impact. ๐Ÿ™

                  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. ๐Ÿ™‚
                  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. ๐Ÿ™‚

                    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. ๐Ÿ˜›

                      Sounds good. ๐Ÿ™‚
                      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);

                        There’s this message in the standard edit control, EM_GetSel or for the RichEd, EM_EXGETSEL. Is there only a decl for GetSel() and no def?
                        Sounds good about the manifest, use mt.exe, or to “save” on extra files there’s also #pragma comment(linker,"\"/manifestdependency ... which would go nicely in one of the main headers e.g stdafx.h. Using the Windows common controls will restrict the compilation to running just Windows of course.

                          Now the chipmunks are running the show, Bugs would have surely considered the issuance of a license for free use of the expression “What’s up Doc” in exchange for a lifetime supply of carrots. A juicy topic, along with the goofy dog-in-the-moon raining down moonrocks, calling for another cartoon that was never made. ๐Ÿ˜›
                          A recent subject matter ripe for more cartoonery is the actions of the Microsoft Q&A autobot, a wild untamed behemoth running rampant through all Q&A forums not bothered at all by any number of us wee defenceless chipmunk subscribers. ๐Ÿ™

                              It’s Java based, and AndalayBay released a conversion to Morrowind back in 2014, converting it to C# using WPF with MVVM. She may still have the project files somewhere. The old Bethsoft release threads for Tes4Gecko and the conversion can be viewed in this edited html set.
                              To edit the Tes4Gecko code in VS 2022/2026 we’ll probably want OpenJDK, there are extensions for VS Code as well. ๐Ÿ™‚

                                Oh, all the old Evil Touch episodes have been posted on Youtube. Nothing too special though, and the poor resolution is another minus. They did make fun late night viewing back in the day, this one with Leslie Nielson was a favourite:

                                And, as Anthony Quayle used to say, “Pleasant Dreams.” ๐Ÿ˜›

                                  Yes – like this one, “To Pan”, from “Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and Homerica, 1920”:

                                  Only at evening, as he returns from the chase, he sounds his note, playing sweet and low on his pipes of reed: not even she could excel him in melody — that bird who in flower-laden spring pouring forth her lament utters honey-voiced song amid the leaves. At that hour the clear-voiced nymphs are with him and move with nimble feet, singing by some spring of dark water, while Echo wails about the mountain-top, and the god on this side or on that of the choirs, or at times sidling into the midst, plies it nimbly with his feet. On his back he wears a spotted lynx-pelt, and he delights in high-pitched songs in a soft meadow where crocuses and sweet-smelling hyacinths bloom at random in the grass.

                                  There was another heatwave in Victoria, we were spared this time. After the last rain, there was a dry windy change, so after a few warm days had to soak the pots again! ๐Ÿ™
                                  Cool! The up and down keys got some movement in Doom, what gets the character in motion – the space/enter, or something else?
                                  Jaffa the young Jack Russell, taken with the goat’s enthusiasm for carrots, has himself acquired the taste. Tonight he completely demolished a rather large and juicy carrot!

                                    Date A Live banned in China? Did they even get to see any of the trailers? This one is for Ren Dystopia:

                                    They have all fallen prey to the Ken Burns effect! Series 6 will be the last? Funny, the following trailer for series 4 is not available in the US and Japan, China is okay though. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                    Now streaming Sherlock & Daughter, an American production gone very Britsh with a top notch cast on a rather spiffing adventure line. Did notice some odd pronunciations such as zeenith for zentih, debew for debut and insulate for insolent. Recommended all the same!
                                    A Matter of Life and Death (or Stairway to Heaven) is a jolly bit of good-hearted sci-fi fluff with extra zing in the production and direction. The highlight for me was the Sofaer’s recitation of Scott’s short poem here:

                                    In The Silent Partner there’s an interesting twist on gaslighting post bank heist. More of historical interest now, as banks, as we knew them then, are becoming less and less. Recommended!
                                    You’ll never see much light from the sun in The Doll Factory until (spoiler alert) the closing scenes. The music is dark and persistent, the episodes all playing to a rather gloomy horror motif. Despite the efforts from the cast, things fell away towards the end, expected an ending that could have plugged a few more holes contextually perhaps.

                                      The keyboard lights with OpenRGB is a known issue with XBOX MSC, so we can writhe alive to the tune of that. ๐Ÿ™‚
                                      Thanks! The Windows idea of the HID LampArray standard came early 2024 – must have either tried it either without success or missed it altogether. Good news it works with the G213 keyboard as well as with MSC, thus the ball is in the court of OpenRGB for further innovations. ๐Ÿ™‚

                                        That last link takes all of 30 seconds to load over here – it’s huge!
                                        There’s MFC in there which adds extra layers. With stdafx it boils down to saving time and grunt with pre-compiled headers using either that or pch.h?
                                        Yes, ensure the includes are working first, otherwise extend the sojourn in MWEdit no man’s land. ๐Ÿ™‚

                                          A healthy looking database, as it seemed last night, today got a 504 Gateway Time-out for both links. Makes sense for the search, not for the subject – home page is fine. ๐Ÿ™‚
