Querying Wikipedia data using SPARQL
- 05 May 2023
Recently I have been working on a trainer for a football manager game. The game has a player database, when a player retires, another with the same last name would respawn in some other club. When you play the game for many seasons, the player database becomes gradually out of date. Fan patches are created but due to the amount of work involved (check the team roster for every minor team in every league, for starters) only a few patches are ever created. My goal is to get some actual real players to replace the respawned ones and refresh as time elapses.

People get confused by various Microsoft IE forum sites so here is the steps to find the forum closer to IE related questions Basically, the mentality of different Microsoft forum brand is: MSDN: How can my software do something on my customers’ machines.

Read Twice to reveal the clues(Orson Scott Card,SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD)
- 21 May 2005
Thanks to Austin Public Library, I have a chance to continue my navigating with Ender the Great Commander, the Xenocide, and the Speaker for the Dead. I’v noticed a significant difference between the style of Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead, and I like this change. It make ender a less hero, but a greater philosopher. His unconscious victory now considered crime, and he became his own accuser for 3,000 years. However, he still execl in this work. He removed the barrier between human and peggies, and made the treatment between the 3 species.
