Čiastočné zatmenie slnka

O tohtoročné zatmenie slnka 1.8.2008 som sa dozvedel v deň, kedy mal nastať. Ráno som si pozeral na internete správy a náhodou som zazrel článok o zatmení. Počasie však vyzeralo na dážď, tak som sa s tým ďalej nezaoberal. V Bratislave malo začať okolo 10:46. O pol jedenástej sa počasie začalo zlepšovať, čakal som ešte pár minút či vytiahnuť teleskop. O 10:40 už bolo slnko len za "tenkým" mrakom a tak som sa rozhodol, že idem pozorovať toto nebeské divadielko.

V bordeli v našej letnej kuchynke som vylovil zaprášený lepkavý teleskop. Je to refraktor 60/700. Okulár som použil H 20 mm. Našťastie optika bola dobre zakrytá a relatívne čistá. Primontoval som ho na montáž spolu s na kolene vyrobeným stojanom na projekciu, zobral foťák a hľadal som slnko. Na papieri som ho uvidel už málo zakryté mesiacom. Fotil som svojim starým Olympusom C2500-L približne každých 5 minút. Prvá snímka bola zhotovená o 11:01, posledná o 12:39. Pri fotení papiera, na ktorom bolo slnko premietnuté, došlo k deformácií obrazu, pretože som fotil z ruky, mimo osi a papier nebol dokonale rovný. Na úpravu slnka do kruhovitého tvaru a zlepšenie kontrastu som použil Gimp a Picasu. Jednotlivé snímky som poskladal do finálneho obrázka:

Na prvých snímkoch je zachytený odchádzajúci mrak a tiež špina z okuláru. Ten som po prvých dvoch snímkoch vyčistil.
Pekné obrázky zatmenia sú priebežne uverejňované na Instantních anstronomických novinách.

Yamaha S08 - sticky keys repair

My keyboard Yamaha S08 suffered from several "sticky keys" disease already a year, perhaps more. That saying, I am pretty bad piano player. However, I like to have my devices fully functional for any cases. I have found a very helpful guide , but with no photos. I made some for better visualization of the repair. First, I unfastened all screws from both sides: Second, I unfastened all screws from a wooden base plate which were holding the part with electronics. Then I unfastened the golden screws holding the whole keyboard to the wood. The keyboard was now accessible from both sides. The last step is described in the following video. It was just removing the sticky keys and reinserting them without a metal spring coming inside. The end of the metal spring has been left outside of the key: So far it works well!

Windows 7 RC Ultimate on HP Compaq nx6110

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding. Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning would look
