Caffino's

Had a very acceptable pizza for dinner, with eggplant (aubergines, for y’all from South Canada/Far Northern Mexico), artichokes ’n’ stuff not normally seen on pizza.

It came from Caffino’s, pizza-and-pasta place in Wanneroo, just north of town centre on the beach side of the street just next to the prominent Video Easy store (2/981 Wanneroo Road, 9404-6700).

The lass driving the cash register made a typoe the first time around, and the result was a very pretty, artistically laid out pizza, each slice crowned by a large upright shrimp. Visually impressive, but not exactly veggo. (-: They threw in a couple of garlic bread for the mistake and expressed the replacement pizza through the works.

The blokes driving the oven had obviously been doing it for a very long time, each movement smooth and practiced, each gesture accurate, and the ingredients laid out smoothly, quickly and very evenly.

You need to be between Shaw Road and Church Street on the West side of Wanneroo Road.

Nip a tad south (towards the traffic lights) — a couple of doors — to find an excellent and flexible chip-shop.

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.

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...

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.
