I created this page when trying to identify a watch I was given by my father-in-law. After finding multiple pages refering to it as the 441267, I will treat it as solved. Text on dial Wostok - 18 jewels - Made in USSR Note: Since it’s named Wostok instead of ‘Boctok’, it’s made for export and not the internal market. Fully russian versions of the same model also exist. Some quick googling told me that Wostoks changed the export name to Vostok in the 90s....

Re John Updike’s Toward the End of Time Maybe the one thing that the reader ends up appreciating about Ben Turnbull is that he’s such a broad caricature of an Updike protagonist that he helps clarify what’s been so unpleasant and frustrating about this author’s recent characters. It’s not that Turnbull is stupid: he can quote Pascal and Kierkegaard on angst, discourse on the death of Schubert, distinguish between a sinistrorse and a dextrorse Polygonum vine, etc....

These following pages seem to be missing from all 30th anniversary edition of Tigana. I have two copies of the book and both have the same missing pages. Since I had to go through the effort to source the missing text for myself, I thought I might as well put it up online. Hopefully it helps someone Page 190 If she was to travel north into Corte soon, and clearly marked by now as being from Certando, she needed to have been associated with The Queen, but not so very prominently....

Recently, I had to do some stuff on an ESXI-machine from a Linux machine. However the ESXI-version was so old that you needed the vSphere Client to modify it, and I never really got that working. Luckily you can do quite much through ssh. So I thought I’d write down the commands I still remember. ## Write this to get all available commands vim-cmd ## Virtual Machine commands vim-cmd vmsvc ## Show VMs with some stats vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms ## Show power status of VM vim-cmd vmsvc/power....

What I expected When running Krita in Windows on a Lenovo C940 laptop I should be able to use the built-in pen to get pressure sensitivity. E.g. when using a pen which becomes larger the more you press. What I got The pressure sensitivity is non-functional but strange. On a normal document, when doing quick swipes with a pressure sensitive pen, there is a thin line and many large circles which appear haphazardly....

It is essentially a method rather than a set of theories, and – at the risk of wildly oversimplifying – its basic approach can be conveyed through a two-word command: DESCRIBE PHENOMENA. The first part of this is straightforward: a phenomenologist’s job is to describe. This is the activity that Husserl kept reminding his students to do. It meant stripping away distractions, habits, clichés of thought, presumptions and received ideas, in order to return our attention to what he called the ’things themselves’....

Some books about existentialism never try to answer this question, as it is hard to define. The key thinkers disagreed so much that, whatever you say, you are bound to misrepresent or exclude someone. Moreover, it is unclear who was an existentialist and who was not. Sartre and Beauvoir were among the very few to accept the label, and even they were reluctant at first. Others refused it, often rightly. Some of the main thinkers in this book were phenomenologists but not existentialists at all (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty), or existentialists but not phenomenologists (Kierkegaard); some were neither (Camus), and some used to be one or both but then changed their minds (Levinas)....

I have always neglected to write down java tools and commands that I use for troubleshooting. I will try to put in on this page. Memory and Threads There are many tools to measure java memory. In my experience, the easiest way to troubleshoot locally is to hook your development environment up to VisualVM. There are even plugins for it in e.g. IntelliJ. It is probably possible to do this to a production server as well, but that would likely impact performance....
