Biscuits!

  • ¾ cup margarine

  • 1 cup unrefined sugar

  • 1 egg equivalent (e.g. banana)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1/3 - ½ cup cocoa

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 cup any kind of “chocoloate” chips (peanut butter are good)

Run your oven up to 180°C.

Mix the margarine (or oil) & sugar until they’re creamy. Seriously, it avoids a crunchy texture.

Add the “egg” & vanilla.

Mix all else but chips in another bowl.

Mix everything together & fold in the chips.

Form the mix into smallish balls & squash them a bit.

Put the squashed balls onto baking sheet or flat tray.

Bake for about 7-9 minutes, until the top stops being gooey.

You can use crushed apples (½ cup) & oil (¼ cup) in place of the marg, but will need more flour (just under double).

Very tasty, very easy to make. (-:

OBTW, the recipe still works well even if you botch it badly.

I was missing one ingredient, & had to use poor subs for two others, but it worked out fine.

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.
