Crem de la crem

Modified my breakfast recipe a fraction today, & the result was an unbelievable improvement for such a very small change:

  • few bananas (3 today)
  • tin of almond jelly (540g)
  • slosh of milk (rough guess, 200ml)
  • dash of cream

Whizz whole lot up in ThermoMix (any blender would do, TM handles big lump of jelly (plus bananas) very well), & eat.

Where do you get almond jelly?? Tried to send an email to SWMBO but had it returned. Any suggestions?

ruby: Asian food shop in Joondalup (behind ANZ bank) named “OK”, tins on rack inside door. Imagine that other shops will have it too, will try Asian grog-shop at the bottom of Fitzgerald street today, FYI.

WRT SWMBO, following the link in the error message will yield a new email address for her. Getting reliable (or sometimes even sensible) responses is an issue that I’m officially forbidden from dealing with.

Also, due to some dodgy administrative decisions, she’ll only be able to respond to that address ==normally== between about 10AM & 12AM EST on weekdays.

Er... BTW, these days, you are rubyp@...? I seem to remember starwon.net, but meanwhile, send to my name at cyberknights.com.au so I can bury you in detail.

Asian grog-shop don’t do it, but Shop 88 in William Street does, along with a whole pile of seriously different stuff, which all makes Almond Jelly seem quite mundane. (-:

every-application-is-part-of-a-toolkit at work

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
