Hello. If you've found this journal, welcome. All entries are public. But this journal should give no indication as to who I am in real-life. I want to keep it anonymous so that I can be completely candid...entries. :) I will post daily, if not multiples times during any given day, and hopefully every Sunday to update my stats. www.my-calorie-counter.com The webs free Nutrition Counter
А вот напишу все-таки. Не так давно придумалась такая странная тема: У веб-девелопера довольно часто возникает задача получить последнюю запись в табличке, или даже N записей с конца. Самый живой пример...+-------+
Вот такая штука получилась. Далеко не везде применима, да и описана несколько сумбурно, но, я надеюсь, кому надо - общую суть уловит :
This Mephisto is a little easier than some because the starter clues (see below) are generous in number and strategically placed. It is an artisan puzzle, robust and workmanlike but never scaling the heights... definition is "spot"; nice clue (C)
27 EGRET - EG-RET; RET=spoil by soaking (worth remembering)
30 BOON - BO-ON; OB=outside broadcast; NO=Japanese drama; all reversed (S)
Tucked away in the comments for yesterday's puzzle was a suggestion that non-Brit solvers needing tips on cricket and the like should have a look at a web-page I wrote a few years ago. It's part of a set...seemed very grateful. So here are the links again.

Like my previous posting about Times xwd "house style", this one is under the “tips&tricks” tag. You can use the link to this under 'tags' on the right to just see postings with the tag. Having just suggested...commentators are on about if they mention someone like Paavo Nurmi or Boris Onishchenko. Poetry : Stephen Fry's The Ode Less Travelled which explains iambs, anapaests, trochees and all the others
Народ, посоветуйте где можно поколдавать в настройках или шаблоне дневника, чтобы убрать половину опций к постам, которые у меня идут сразу после него (Вроде Track This, Add to Memories ..)
This is a list of points about the Times puzzle that differ from at least some other cryptic xwds. (Posts with information like this that should be good advice for ever will be stored under the new "tips&tricks"...occasionally - maybe twice a year in the 15x15 cryptic. "Ninas" (messages in the grid, or subtle themes that don't have to be spotted to help solve the puzzle) appear more often - maybe twice a month
