  • On the other hand, when you start from Texline (which I suppose is the starting point of that 13 hour journey) in the northeast of the state, you could easily escape Texas within minutes.

    On the other hand, in Europe you can get through a number of countries in thirteen hours just because we have a working road system.









  • There are actually only two kinds of windows apps that don’t run on Linux: Those made not to run on Linux on purpose, and those that were made by so bad programmers that you’ll be amazed how fast the “fixme” messages scroll in the terminal window from which you started wine. I’m working with one of the latter, and I’m happy that I just finished the last project with it. This piece of software is plain shit. And it looks like they don’t intend to fix their shit.


  • I like scientific cooking. I’m a big fan of Sebastian Lege, who is a cook and food designer, and who knows all the little chemical tricks of the food industry. I wish he would publish a cook book: On the left, a recipe for the dish as made by a professional chef with normal ingredients, on the right the recipe for the same dish as made by the food industry.

    I remember one show where he made “Banana Milk”. The banana flavor was made from vinegar, some alcohol, and some other acid…

    Just today, I applied one of his ideas. I made a Chinese dish with chicken, and added baking powder to the marinade made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and chili. And it was amazing!








  • As I described, I’d need way fewer, as the optimal computer counter-move would already be included in the next board.
    So if you placed your X in the top left field in the starter image, the link would directly go to a field with the X in the top left, the O in the center position, and links in all the remaining seven positions. And of course the pre-calculation will eliminate some of the boards already, e.g. if the player or computer already won after the third move, where placing a fourth will not make sense.
