I just found the best Firefox plugin for book lovers! A while ago I got some ebooks in CHM format, but was unable to read them without one of those snazzy (and expensive) ebook viewers. So I went out on the web and found that Firefox actually has a plugin to read CHM files! CHM files...

I built a book search engine that I think will find more books... The basic search searches all of the online digital libraries around the world, but the advanced search uses Boolean scripts I wrote along with my own JavaScripts to find hidden caches of books all over the Internet. I would...

Jak mowisz po polsku, mozesz bardzo latwo rozumiesz po Ukrainsku, nie? The Ukrainians pronounce their letter "G" (written like the Greek letter Gamma) like an "H". The Spanish do this, the Czechs, The Slovaks and Dutch, as well as Ukrainians have converted the "G" sound into an "H" sound. So...

I am playing (working on) three: Isaac Albeniz - Asturias (Leyenda) Francisco Tarrega - Recuerdos de la Alhambra Heitor Villa Lobos - Etude No. 1

That's a good question. I don't think I have done that since I was a teenager. Disturbing. Got me thinking... I think I read something on an overseas flight not too long ago... one sitting... hmmm... I don't think I have that many uninterrupted hours in one sitting. Those were the good...

In war-devastated Singapore just after WWII alongside the very young Lee Kuan Yew...

The Nobel prize is way overrated. When Terrorists like Yassar Arafat win the Nobel Peace prize, and pseudo-scientists like Al Gore can snag one, the prize is merely a monetary donation to the politically correct flavor of the day. The current flavor on the world stage is rabid...

Hi gang, This seems like quite a nice forum! Glad to have found it. I see that there are book lovers from all over the world. Very cool. About me... I live in Poland, but I'm not really Polish. My wife is though. :) It's a nice place to live, but the weather could be better. Next...

Strasvoitsya! Is that a Catalpa tree growing next to you? Those things grow everywhere... their original range is a very narrow area along the Mississippi River in the USA... :) If you want to post some pictures online, go to imageshack.us (I cannot post links yet!) www(DOT)imageshack(DOT)us
