Last night/this morning I fixed a big pan of of my Aunt's world famous (ok, ok... family famous) egg bake. A nice hearty hot breakfast that is a great way to start off those cool autumn days!
No fall food here yet.. :( Itching to get some acorn squash and make some pumpkin soup.
My wife wants me out of the kitchen for a while though- she got me a Shun Elite Ken Onion for m...
"The WWDC was disappointing . . . my AAPL stock dropped 4 bucks because of it."
AAPL almost always has a significant drop in the aftermath of Jobs' keynotes. Typically the rumor mills...
When clustering, 128GB is not all that much. A moderate cluster can easily have 10x that much RAM. For example, one cluster I run jobs on has 256 dual processor nodes, each with 4GB of RAM, for a...
Summer is what the charcoal grill was invented for! Why cook in the kitchen when you can get outside and grill? (if you have the space to do it, that is).
Tonight? Smoked pulled pork...
The water here is not the best tasting, but a Pur on our faucet does the trick! They have a 2 stage and a 3 stage filter (or is it 3 and 4 stage), but if your water isn't the best tasting in the w...
I second Gorilla Glue- that'll stick just about any material to wood. Be careful though- as it reacts, it can bubble out if you put too much on. Have a damp rag ready to wipe it away if this happ...
Borax is great (we use it to clean almost EVERYTHING, environmentally safe and puppy friendly). Here's another green cleaning tip:
Have a really cruddy oven? Try baking soda. Make ...
Thanks for the tip smallcitybeth! It definitely makes sense.
Well, the great purge of '07 is over. The result? 5XL garbage bags 1 large shopping bag full of "new" rags. The most ...
Thanks for the encouragement Clairepetrol! For the first round (as embarrassing as this is) I did the "If I haven't even thought about it in 3 years let alone worn it" rule, and that got me down t...
Howdy all!
I recently finished my dissertation, and my wife and I decided it is time to make our tiny apartment feel a bit more like home! Found this site, and it has been great. Ste...
I think I'll run with this one, with one modification-
Instead of toasting the bread, assemble the sandwich, brush on a little olive oil, and put it in the panini press. Get that Mozz...

Oops.. I under-speced the cluster I use- it actually has 8GB for each node (4GB per processor), for a total of 2048GB.

Counter knife block, in drawer knife block, or magnetic strip on the wall (or other).. which do you prefer for your knives, and why?
SFBags sleeves are nice. I've got one for my old Titanium Powerbook, and it has held up well: http://www.sfbags.com/produ...
Good luck on the draft betsbillabong! Its a long journey, but feels oh so good when done. (Even better than purging clothes ;) )
