Stumbled across a couple of videos where they have put video cameras down thousands of feet into oil and gas wells.
I was surprised at actually how much detail can be seen, and they can see all the different problems and general characters of the wells. You can see the differnt perforations feeding in the oil/gas/water, failed corroded casings, dropped tools etc. etc.
Certainly not what I was expecting to see, I expected darkness...

I wonder what current hardware could do. There are bad VHS tracking artifacts on that of the sort I haven't seen since my parents bought a better VCR in the early 90s...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A very quick Google image search found it first time!

Reluctantly I posted a C# question in the C# forum. I wonder if there is an answer to be found? To be honest, I believe that if I get anything it will be merely links to the LINQ answer which I specifically asked not to receive.
yes, this is a blatant promotion for a programming question I asked in the C# forum. Down vote at will : )

I was tempted to reply with "Use LINQ" but found an alternate target for my day before the holiday boredom.

I'll go look, since you weren't nice enough to include a link.

Doesn't look like a C# question. Is there a Mongo forum? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Unfortunately, it is a C# question since I can do it in Mongo just fine : (, it is specifically the C# library itself.

My wife just sent me a text picture of her legs - she picked blackberries in shorts.
Her pain is worth my gain - I do love fresh blackberries!

Grief!
They are early - ours are still tiny and green. The raspberries the same.
The wild and cultivated strawberries are doing very well - those that haven't been eaten, that is...

My strawberries were fantastic but sadly all are eaten.
I'm taking a huge gamble that none of this is meant as a euphemism...

The cultivated strawberries are almost gone - there are a few left still ripening, but they are pretty much over - but the wild version are going crazy this year, the whole garden smells of strawberries! Pity they are so small, but at least they have flavour (unlike some of the supermarket ones)

I took a huge punt on global warming and planted sweetcorn (in Dublin) - you'll probably be glad to know it has not worked.
(The potatoes are doing fine though)
