Kazakhstan leads Olympic gold medals per capita!
After the first day of Olympic events, with the win of the gold medal by Alexander Vinokourov in the 200km men's cycling road race, Kazakhstan now leads the gold medal tally per million population - an alternative medal ranking listed on many sites as a somewhat fairer measure of achievement.

For those of you unfortunate enough to have chosen an Android phone (Samsung, HTC etc), please be very careful about the apps you download from Google Play. Make sure you have installed security software and remain vigilant about what sort of information your store.

Yesterday was a nice clear sky day .
Yesterday was a nice clear sky day ... and so was some of the night. I got this shot before the clouds swarmed in. Ptolemy's cluster (M7) in the middle, which is located on the tail end of Scorpio with Sagittarius on the right - if you're interested. Tonight was learning how to use DSS to stack the images and photoshop to process the result.
18 year old DOS software running on a Mac in OS X! The really amazing part is that the floppy disks still worked!

Dance of the Planets!
DOSBox for OS X http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1
# Copy the installation floppy files to a folder e.g.:
# /Users/simon/Documents/dos/install/dance
# Mount your C: drive to somewhere e.g.:
mount C: /Users/simon/Documents/dos
# Mount your A: drive with the install files
mount A: /Users/simon/Documents/dos/install/dance -t floppy
# Change to drive A: and run the INSTALL.EXE
# Edit your DOSBox preferences file, so the next time you start, you are into the C:
[autoexec]
mount C: /Users/simon/Documents/dos
C:
Note that you can copy the installation floppy image to a single image file from the Terminal:
# ** TERMINAL ** Mount shows the USB floppy drive path
mount
# ** OS X ** Disk Utility, Right click on the floppy media, click unmount.
# ** TERMINAL ** Below assume USB floppy mounted on disk3
dd if=/dev/disk3 of=DOTP27.img
# ** DOSBox ** you can imgmount
imgmount a: /Users/simon/Documents/dos/DOTP27.img -t floppy
Unfortunately DOSBox doesn't allow swappable floppies. Even symbolically linking and swapping links to the different IMG files or the actual hard drives, via terminal. Although I think that may have worked, perhaps my Stars 8.0 is borked - I have the vague feeling that it never worked.
