Another book finished

I finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo today, and I am definitely adding it to my list of favorite books. It took me awhile to read as it is supposed to be 400 pages long, but I feel it could have been longer and still not disappointed me. This is one of those types of books that allows your imagination to transport you to the time and place being described without giving you too much detail. I would definitely recommend this as a book to be read by everyone, however, it does lend itself to older audiences as it was written in a time where the vocabulary was much more colorful and different from modern vocabulary.

Next, I start on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. :D

Neat trick you can do with MS Paint

OK, here is something for the technophiles out there… Try this on a windows machine and watch what happens:

Begin by opening Paint and starting a new image with the dimensions of 1 PX tall and 6 PX wide. Then from left to right paint one pixel at a time with these custom RGB values:

10,0,0
13,10,13
100,109,99
120,101,46
0,0,101
0,0,0

Now save the image as a 24-bit bmp file. Rename the extension .bat and run it.

If you don’t want to create the image yourself, you can download it from here and just rename it to command.bat and run it.
