Working on a telescope on La Palma (Canary Islands) going outside during a night shift and looking up was amazing, the sky seemed almost white, and the La Palma Observatories aren't a particularly high group.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

As a New Zealander, I have to say I was amazed at the sight of the sky on the Navimag ferry from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt in Chile. It was a little cold lying on our backs on the metal deck of the ship - especially the first night, the second was OK until the crew kicked us inside at 3am.
We were able to cover all the lights on the ship than shone on the deck, so had no unnatural light, no air pollution - just looking up at the milky way. Was fantastic.
Made stargazers out of people whose necks had never previously moved their gaze from their own navel.

Awesome I've seen a lot of amateur photos similar to this on Flickr and really like them.

So, Watterson could be back[^].
I am mitigated about that : it would be great to have new cartoons of Calvin & Hobbes, but I am not sure that the same spirit would be back after a pause of 20 years.

Why Auto Complete Text Boxes in .NET WinForms Suck Today:
They only work in single line mode, they do Sweet FA in multi-line. 
Any guesses what type I want?

I asked Mr. Google (he sits on my table) and told that he can't answer you as he have to answer hundred of thousand of questions about the bacon-vba relation...

Well that's fine by me! BACON rightly always get priority!

Would something like this[^] work for you?
I use it sometimes, and it works well.

I didn't find that.
Looks interesting - I'll have a good look at it.

Dearest Mrs Wife is up in Sweatyland for a few days and just called to say mornin'. She told me about the breakfast in the hotel which included the option of waffles with maple syrup and BACON.
Go healthy food stuffs! Go!
|

|
|
Where is the maple syrup from or is it imitation flavour? Is it the real deal?
If it isn't, then that's like saying turkey bacon... that just isn't bacon.
|

Totally, the 'breakfast syrup' they serve up where I am staying is crap. And the bacon. In fact it all is, even the melons have no taste.

No, thanks. I'm a vegan.
