A way to define multiplication of two colors rgb(Ar,Ag,Ab)and rgb(Br,Bg,Bb) is rgb(Ar*Br/255,Ag*Bg/255,Ab*Bb/255).
For example rgb(100,100,100)*rgb(100,0,100)=rgb(39,0,39), seen as
color1*color2=color3
Jack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane, Campbell River, BC.Like often, my son and I hit the gym after supper this evening: he’s a body builder. I wasn’t making any PRs tonight, but he did.
Perhaps someone else was trying for a PR: at one point I noticed a lifter had set a barbell totalling over 400 lbs. He began the lift: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Succeeding, he exclaimed, “Yeah, Baby!”The others all continued what we were doing, setting new plates on bars, lifting, or whatever. Yet, the mood was uplifted. That dramatic PR elevated everyone.
I really love weight training because it’s a sport where all participants can win. Tonight, that new PR by a lifter I don’t even know made me feel triumphant as well.

Jack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane, Campbell River, BC.Back in my post on January 26, 2015, I define the first day of spring as the year’s first sunny day with positive double digit temperature. Since then I’ve reported its coming each year.
This year’s first day of spring, here in Campbell River, is today, March 16. The temp is 10.6C, and it’s dry outside.

This morning indicated a change: in the dark, I heard birds outside. At first, I didn’t recognize what I was hearing. Yet, unmistakably, a robin’s song reached me.
I was so surprised to hear a bird so early, I went outside. The robin wasn’t alone; I could hear another song, an insistent trill.
I investigated the web and a book to discover the singer: a chipping sparrow.
The robin and chipping sparrow inspired me this morning, similarly with the varied thrush’s song I mention in my post from Feb 21.

The word minder, it turns out, is a noun that means “one who looks after something.”

search mask (n): a pattern that matches must follow. The masked parts are variable, possibly indicated by wildcards. An example might be qu#te, # being the wildcard. Such a mask will match “quote” as well as “quite”.

The chicken was already fully cooked. Therefore, I settled for 175F, 10F above its safe temperature.

To find files in the current directory last modified on or after dd/mm/yyyy, one can try the forfiles command:
forfiles /d +dd/mm/yyyy /c “cmd /c echo @file @fdate”
