    Is it possible to learn House Building on our own?

    Of course knowing all the local building codes could be a challenge also.

    Why we all need subtitles

    Sub-titles are nice, especially when the actors are not talking very loud or there are other noises on the recording that interfere with the voices. Unfortunately my wife is a slow reader and most times cannot keep up with reading sub-titles.

    any black holes closer than this?

    1550 light years is plenty close enough for me for a black hole.

    Picking Your Nose - Love it OR Hate it

    You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But you can't pick your friend's nose. (edited because I finally remembered the line correctly).

    Oh baby, baby...

    Years ago I rode with my friend on a motorcycle around a city at night. It was a pretty warm night. But at one point, the air temp dropped several degrees. Suspect that we were near a cave opening (Northwest Missouri, USA).

    Need Nam e

    I was working for a company where I was trying to make a free form database application. It never worked quite right. I was not the best tester back in the day.

    Need Nam e

    There is a way (and way too many years ago on how to do it) to utilize the 64K of RAM. I know the the OS sits (Kernel ROM) at upper memory. I just remember for project I was coding, I would have to do some swapping to utilize the RAM. Also utilized other tricks to put text and graphics up at...

    Need Nam e

    And believe it or not. You can still find them available for sale (some in questionable condition). In my first job I programmed on the Commodore 64. Assembly language.

    Conditional formatting of combo box entries

    Interesting video. I will have to see if a way I can use that first tip for my purposes. The sad part is that our programmers have developed a web based version of this application a couple of years ago. But acceptance by the department has been delayed (I do not know why). Of course it...

    Conditional formatting of combo box entries

    The values are the employee name, but they want the entries highlighted red if the condition stated above is true. My initial efforts did not work the way I expected. Once I selected a value then it would return the result in the combo box with the formatting applied.

    Conditional formatting of combo box entries

    I suspect this is not possible. But I give it a try. Clients want entries of a combo box to be conditionally formatted. I have looked around the internet and not seen anything. So the conditional format would be in the form of, IsNull(( [TermDate] ) = False, then set the text to red. So...

    Have you been on the Golf Course again Jon?

    I would think that a couple of five gallon buckets of water would be more than enough to fill up the holes on a golf course. Drop the cement in the hole. A cup of water, mix.

    Get off my property

    FYI: Apparently thee is a ballot matter on a southern California county (largest county in the state) to become it's own state. Should be interesting to see how the vote goes.
