C. S. Lewis: Hovory

Kto niekedy čítal nejakú populárnu alebo aj hlbšiu teologickú literatúru, je veľmi málo pravdepodobné, že nenašiel referenciu na túto knihu. Jej pôvodný anglický názov je Mere Christianity.

Nové slovenské vidanie som našiel v Trnave úplnou náhodou. A jednoducho som si túto knihu už konečne musel kúpiť.

Od Lewisa som čítal ešte na gymnáziu Korniky Narnie a veľmi sa mi o páčilo. Bolo to také detské ale pritom zaujímavé a mal som pri týchto knižkách príjemný a hrejivý pocit.
Oveľa neskôr som zistil, že Lewis je jedným z najvýznamnejších kresťanských apologetikov 20. storočia. Viac o Lewisovi som sa dozvedel z tejto diplomovej práce. Fajn film o Lewisovej láske je Shadowlands s Anthony Hopkinsom.

Doteraz som ju prečítal 2x a stále si nepamatám ani štvrtinu toho čo je tam napísané. Je toho na mňa veľa, aby som si to skutočne uvedomil. Ale asi ťažko nájsť takú knihu, ktorá vtipne, zrozumiteľne a pútavo podá hocikomu informácie o kresťanstve. Sám Lewis bol predtým ateistom a preto sú jeho otázky celkom racionálne a podobný charakter majú aj jeho odpovede. V podstate už v úvode je jasne napísané o čom jeho kniha je a o čom nie je.

Podľa mňa naj knihy je v tom, že dokáže uviesť kvalitné príklady. Jeho "morálny zákon" v prvej časti, na ktorom jeho vysvetľovanie stojí, je skvelo napísaný a vysvetlený. Je to ten princíp, pre ktorý vlastne človek hľadá (alebo cíti) dobro a zlo, čo vyústi v hľadaní Boha v nejakej forme. Ak v tejto časti nie je niečo v poriadku alebo čitateľ nesúhlasí, asi nemusí ani čítať ďalej.

Je to kniha, ktorú by som odporučil každému kto sa trocha zaujíma o duchovný život. Ale aj všetkým ostatným, ktorí sa chcú z času na čas zamyslieť.
Prečítam si ju znova, keď mi ju Maťa vráti B-).

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
