Just came back from my drum teacher. Looking forward - everything's cool. The first two beer are in my belly-tank. Now a quick shower, and then head on to the sound check. Starts in 2 hrs.
So I am off now for the rest of the day - keep posting.
More from me tomorrow.
Cheers, Mike

With a successful launch and a good landing for the first stage even though the cameras went out at the last minute and Elon Musk was doubtful it would make it.

Yeah, seeing that plume of water right when the cameras froze, and hearing all the "ooooh's" in the background, I didn't have much hope!
And given that the satellite was manufactured by Space Systems/Loral, some software I wrote for them a couple years ago that does end-of-life failure analysis on the switch rings was probably used for the analysis.

Not losing the video feed on barge landings is the exception not the rule. Off hand Sunday's landing is the only one I recall that didn't drop for a few seconds. It's a satellite uplink due to the distance from shore; which means it's vulnerable to the exhaust plume blocking the signal or excess vibrations of the barge causing it to drop lock.
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?

Looks like you might need some bovine intervention.

Been there done that! (the worst part is trying solder the sucker up afterwards, not enough flux, too much! etc)

Here is my situation. I have this PDF file that when at 100% is far too large to fit on the screen, and I have to set the zoom to like 25% to make it normal. I'd like it to be so that at 100% it would be normal. Any ideas?

I don't know about other viewers, but in Adobe Acrobat Reader you can set the zoom to one of the following:
- Fit entire page
- Fit page width
Printing the page will automatically fit it to the printed page size. There is no need to manually zoom in/out.

Can you print it to a PDF? No, seriously. Open it in the reader, and print it to something like PDF Creator. Can't use Chrome, because it knows you opened a PDF and short circuits the print-to-PDF feature to just resave the file.

Oh my, that is such an elegant solution - on the order of the that padawan that figured out that the planet's records were deleted from the library!

You can print it to a new PDF file. There is a "scale" option that is set to 100 by default, I assume you could use that and set it to 25 or whatever.

Just to add to what others have said, Win10 ships with a PDF printer by default. Of course, the PDFs it prints are way too large in file size. But it'll work just to test the theory. And there are a few free PDF printers online that do a better job for the real deal after the testing is done.

I use SumatraPDF and under settings>options one can set the initial zoom on opening from fit width, fit page, fit contents (?) or almost any %age you want.
|
|

|
|
In Adobe Acrobat, you can change the settings in File | Properties | Initial View | Magnification to anything you want and then save it.
If you can't do that, use one of the other alternatives.
It might be a good idea to inform the person generating these (if possible).

Hello all,
Time ago I used Movie Maker to cut... some video files... now I've seen that this is not included with windows 10...
In case you have to use a free video editing tool... what would you recommend?
Thank you all!

I wouldn't go so far as to recommend it, but I use VirtualDub.
