"Press on"
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
- Calvin Coolidge
Word on the street has it that there's a new Thai dictionary out, the พจนานุกรม ฉบับมติชน. Chulabook.com doesn't have it, but I'll keep looking and I'll post a link when I do find it.
So, lately I've reverted to my electric razor, because cutting myself every day got rather boring, and it took forever. But last night one of my friends convinced me that the Mach3 was the way to go, so I got one and this morning I found that it really does live up to its reputation. I still have to use the electric razor for my mustache/goatee area (I wonder if that part of the face has an official name...), because it's really hard to get that area with a manual razor, but that's okay with me.
Finally, at work we're moving to XML. I'd been thinking about it for the past couple of weeks, and it is now a necessity. Once we complete the move and clean up the extraction software, we'll be ready to have volunteers start extracting records again.
I have a question: does cramming four or five subjects into one post feel jarring? Or should I rather make four or five posts?
