Ramen noodles: Just because it's edible doesn't mean it's food.

Food preparation.

Eating is a big part of life, but it’s something many people don’t concern themselves with nearly enough.

The goal of this project is to create lists of recipes which cater to the lazy bastard in all of us. The ingredients will be common and cheap, and the food will be of extraordinary nutritional value.. why? Well, the more nutritious a meal is, the less one has to eat to stay healthy.. and the less one has to eat the more food there will be.. and the more food there will be the less one has to cook!

How the hell do I organize a 10+ year old TODO list?

dead, my writing, personal, projects, Questions / Wanted, time management, writing

Update: Five Things is meant to help with this sort of thing.

So at some point you migrate from little scraps of paper to sheets of paper.

Then you migrate to notes in your computer.
Then you migrate to a documentation system.
Then you migrate back to notes in your computer.
Then you migrate to one big note.
Then you categorize your notes.
Then you review and prioritize your notes.

All the while, your notes have been gathering strength, preparing to assault your free time.

You open the flood gates .. and .. nothing happens. The very notion of a list is intimidating, and actually “doing” anything is based on inspiration. Priorities have shifted around so much over the years that looking at the list just gives a lot of “yeah, that ought to get done one of these days” instead of the burning-hot passion there used to be.

A glance at the Midori web browser

Midori >

(The version of Midori was not recorded)

The first glance is that this isn’t a real project because it doesn’t have a real website. But then again, it doesn’t have a stable release yet, so I don’t mind at all.

Overall it’s decent, but it lacks a couple of fundamentals which would prevent my using it as an everyday browser. The fact that it is better with Flash really gives it a niche use.

Tested 2009-08-07 on Unity Linux 0.99-alpha1.
