    @doctorow Cory, something horrible just happened to the BoingBoing front page. Oversize flash? # @doctorow Yep – thanks! # Royal Horticultural Society Magazine. Adverts for holidays in Tunisia. Mmm. # @johannhari101 If we need a Head of State I may prefer accident-of-birth over an elected president; long term investment & freedom to focus # @johannhari101

    Just mailed by @masterbranch who set up a "Open Source Developer Profile" for me "2 yrs Python" – what about 25 years of C ? #screwuguys # Also @masterbranch _requires_ a location to "claim" your profile – so they can sell your name to recruiters?

  • “Password Security, Forevermore” #unscrewingsecurity @computerworlduk

    Password Security, Forevermore Passwords suck. But there will never be a better non-niche solution. There ought to be a word – there probably is a word – to describe concepts and ideas which work great in theory, have major flaws in practice, and for which either there exists no viable alternative, or any of the

    @dgwbirch I see lots of them around Kensington. Almost none with UK/EU numberplates. # Fans of Folk & Apocalyptica may like this http://bit.ly/fdX8Rb – the flash video loading time is terrible, so pause it.

  • Hot Buttered Rum

    File this under “theraputic drinks” next to Hot Toddy. I’d not encountered it before, and had no rum, but having bought a bottle of Lamb’s Navy Rum when out shopping yesterday afternoon, and feeling a bit grotty, I had one when I got back. Then I had a refill. Then, as invariably happens when I

  • Amazing Instant Golden Syrup Steamed Pudding

    While we’re on a food theme, this requires archiving and sharing because it works. A few years ago my sister Louise (based nr Pittsburgh, PA) sent this out, and I tried it, and it’s astonishingly effective at creating the kind of sticky syrup pudding that is needed as a substrate for custard.

  • The Internet’s Ways with Cabbage

    So I posted: @alecmuffett Aside from coleslaw, what’s a good recipe for using up an entire cabbage, or two? The responses came on… Twitter @vdotw Cabbage, apples, potatoes, onions, bratwurst all combined and baked. http://www.kitchenimprov.net/2009/09/bratwurst-cabbage-and-apples/ @josephholsten kimchi? @hal_pomeranz Braised cabbage: shred cabbage & onion saute with .25lb butter. Add salt, cinnamon, paprika, cayanne to taste.
