I upset my younger daughter yesterday while we were making kolbasz[^] and hurka[^] for our Christmas eatings. 15kg of kolbasz and 8kg of hurka...
I was humming the Peppa Pig theme, saying which member of the family each piece of meat came from and suggesting that Aunty could make a fair few pounds with tie-in products.
Apparently she wasn't impressed.
BTW Peppa was delicious!

There's a version of Peppa Pig in Germany as well...called "Peppa Wutz"
My 3-year-old son likes that, too. Too sad I have to tell him he can't watch it anymore 
Oink Oink!

...and afterwards we put the sausage in a "wurst case"

 23kg of sausage just for Christmas? Who you feeding? The 5000?

It's not just for Christmas, there's New Year as well. 
Anyway, I like sausages.

I had the dubious pleasure of waking up to my home PC having rebooted overnight. After 10 minutes of slowly flashing, reassuring messages that they have not trashed my system I get a desktop. A black desktop, so not trashed, quite, spend an hour resetting my various accounts and customisations and Office365 wants to install an update.
Go right ahead, after all I only use outlook.
30 minutes later the screen flashes, icons rest and the outlook shortcut dissappears from the taskbar, the start menu and the desktop WTF is going on! Search does not find anything but an old office 2013 shortcut. No exe, no install folder nothing. By now a slight sense of panick is starting to dset in but hey I have backups and the stuff is on onedrive so I should be Ok.
2 hours later, having reinstalled office a number of times (who said something about repeating a failed action is the definition of stupidity), hunted through the (x86) folders, searched for anything related to outlook (I found a couple of old .PSTs) I decided to see what I could find on the interwebs.
Office365 support contact - looks promising. A wait queue of 2, it is Sunday morning after all, even better. A young lady asks to remote into my machine, repeats everything I had already done and deletes the Office 2013 icon. And lo and behold search now finds the outlook 2016 exe file.
It seems the old icon was screwing up the windows search tool, weird.
I was impressed with the online support from MS, I am royally pissed that they can't get an update right and I want 4 hours of my Sunday back.

it could have been worse though, so I think you did well

After a really easy upgrade from 8.1 to 10, I had a mild sense of confidence, bites you on the arse every time.

True I did not have to do anything dramatic and their support was first rate once I bit the bullet and contacted them, although 1 guy just hung up on me the second contact was good and efficient.

Does anybody actually understand what the Windows search tool does nowadays? Because even though its job is to search for stuff, it certainly never finds anything.

Sounds familiar. I ran into the horked up shortcut fun a few weeks back during and after an abortive upgrade from 2010 to 2013 at work and the rollback to 2010. (Lync's ridiculously coupled to Outlook and something in the wave of post-install patches broke it more than IT could figure out in a few hours of swearing at it.)
In the case of apps not named outlook, I can almost understand the shortcut thing since you can have more than one version of them installed at a time. You can't (unless it was changed recently) do that with Outlook.
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?

I love books that teach me something and/or motivate me to go further.
I've always liked Brian Tracy's books for those reasons but I just stumbled upon his latest offerring at Barnes & Noble:
Bull's-Eye : The Power of Focus by Brian Tracy - amazon[^]
It's a short book weighing in at only 116 pages but when I turned to the page that said:
You will oly be really successful and happy when you become excellent at something I was sold on the book.
You become great at things when you strive for excellence.
many of you have read this stuff other places but I am really enjoying the book.
He also mentions the current belief that the 1-percenters make all the money.
He says, actually it's the 20-percenters -- About 20% of people are excellent at what they do and earn the top money.
Great stuff.
Has anyone else read it?
