I pestered the hell out my neighbour back in the 1960's to let me watch Batman on their colour TV.
I adored that show. (But not as much as Star Trek:TOS. I bugged them to let me watch that too. Come to think of it, I don't know why I didn't pursue adoption proceedings...)
Cheers,

[^] Family safe animated media content.
Dijcks discussing the technical aspects of these creations [^] :
Quote: You usually start with a few seconds of video footage. You then create a mask that reveals the motion only in certain parts of the image, with the rest being still. The motion is then looped so that it will continue endlessly. Although it’s possible to do the masking and looping in Photoshop, I prefer to use a dedicated application, called Flixel Cinemagraph Pro, that speeds up the whole process significantly. But you don’t necessarily have to start with regular video. You can also use time lapse footage, or, as in case of my wave cinemagraphs, animated stills. In those cases the process usually becomes a lot more involved, and you might need additional software. In my case, for example, I used After Effects for the animation.

I was out on the field flying. Met the farmer for the first time this year and the cows are back. The farmer's grandson got a crash course (pun fortunately not intended) how helicopters work. Smart little guy. Some blood sucking insect, more than an inch long, mistook me for a cow and paid with its life.
Tomorrow the weather will be good again, so I will probably head out there again. Perhaps I should leave a little present for the farmer. But what? A nice bottle of wine?

Write the same on your FB account and invite him on FB. Should be enough

Perhaps some hi-res aerial shots of his property at differing heights (if you have the gear for it.) You never know what might come of that.

It never worked, but I was still able to access downloads on msdn.microsoft.com.
Now that page says:
Good news! Your subscription(s) has been migrated to a new portal.
Not good news to me. Using the exact same login credentials:
Sorry, we couldn't find any downloads for you.
Thanks, Microsoft. 
And yes, at some point several months ago I called their help #, was on hold for 1/2 hour, ended up talking to someone from India who said she had to escalate the problem, and no one ever got back to me. I ignored the issue because the MSDN site still worked.

Well, that's one I have rarely experienced.
My working hypothesis is that when MS staff start emitting Cerenkov radiation they are sent to the MSDN gulag to work on documentation where their descent into dementia can be ignored.
Oh, was I just unkind ?

Works on my machine! 
On the blue bar at the top, do you have "Showing: ..." with a drop-down arrow next to it? Try clicking that to see if you've got multiple options. I have "Visual Studio Professional (MPN)" and "Visual Studio Dev Essentials", with a different list of downloads for each.

When you log in the visualstudio.com did you get asked if your account was "Provided by your employer" or a "Personal Account"? (or something along those lines)
If so, I found out that you always have to choose "Personal Account", even if it's employer supplied. I found that nugget buried under a trash heap in the corner of the internet.

Some doctor stole the top part of my left femur and replaced it some exotic alloy, ceramic and plastic.
Surgery Monday morning, home Tuesday afternoon. Ain't modern medicine grand?

Lesson here is that you should not trust people who wear white coats. I'm pretty sure we learned in school what a femur is, but had to look it up anyway

Welcome to the Metalwork Club: your membership card is already installed, and will be checked at every airport, court, and other security scanner!
Mines my right shoulder, rather than a hip - hips are my brother's speciality, he's on his fourth I think. (Being allergic to surgical steel means his don't last more than ten years at best: something they found out almost immediately after fitting his first one)
Do your physio and you'll be fine!

Luckily mine gives me no problem with that. Titanium and too small

Welcome back; I had a hip replacement twenty years ago; gave me another life

Some doctor stole a piece of my intestines. Not fun to be in a hospital and see computer-screens displaying errors. Been looking for the CodeProject Q&A logo on each screen.
It's good to be back. I missed being a PITA for the rest of the board

Sounds like fun. Did you notice the theft at the time, or was it later when you woke in a ice bath and counted your kidneys?
Hope the removal has sorted whatever the problem was?
When do they let you eat normally again?

I went 'voluntary'; that's what it is called if it is the only remaining option.

More comparable to a software-patch than a solution, but even that is progress if the computer stops crashing. Got permission to eat all I can. May take a while before that works again, which means I have a good excuse to go for the best beef
