We've discussed Team Hoyt[^] numerous times here; the father and son endurance runners.
Well, on the back of a post about them on FB I read a bit more. On there web-site, if you scroll down on the linked page you'll see there best times.
2:40:47 Marathon
That is fast. Then you consider that Dick was in his fifties when he did that and that anything under 3 hours is considered to be an achievement; 3:30 for the gals. But he's pushing a bloody wheelchair. A wheelchair with a fully grown adult, some five years my senior, in it. Dick is on record as saying he would not be able to run without Rick, it is not just the reason he runs but the motivation
I think Team Hoyt are great, it falls into that 'no greater gift' category. If Rick can, you can.

That's one hell of an achievement and it's ever sweeter because they do it together.
Go Team Hoyt.

I think it may be a UK problem, my connection is playing up at the moment, and not just with CodeProject.

In Italy too no CP for a while.

I was unable to get to CODE Project for most of last Saturday morning. I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting, and it very well could have been an issue with my local ISP. Who knows.

I remember this ad, and think it is spot on.
Recently I had one contract end when the company decided to hire a junior programmer to perform the tasks I used to do, to save money I gather. That final line from the ad ran through my mind...

Silly question: I mostly use FBReader on my Android tablet, but it only opens one book at a time. Since I generally have half a dozen or so "on the go" (a couple of fiction, a few technical) I end up with half a dozen different book readers, all of which work differently. I know I can use the "recent books" list in FBReader, but that's clumsy and annoying.
Anyone seen anything "nice" that has multiple books and lets you switch between them without leaving the app?

Always annoys me, the kindle app - I've yet to find a way to load my non-amazon books into it without moving them from the nice, tidy, my author/series/group/book hierarchy they share (and update via FTP) with my NAS. I know I can move / copy them into the Kindle folder on the tablet, but that kinda defeats the purpose of spending all that time tidying them and their names!

You never mentioned OTHER requirements, if you fail to do the specification properly don't complain about the result
