This first-in-my-life mishap that we'll all laugh about later made me realize I've been doing more actual home cooking than simply reheating frozen dinners recently, and I got to remembering why: My life changed fundamentally between January 2nd & 3rd, & it could've ended then.

Basically, I just realized that, for me, the world suddenly ended twice about 9 months apart. What shocking changes.

Achievement unlocked: Set moist food on fire in the microwave oven by accident.

Why is the debate of RFC-3339 vs. ISO-8601 the new holy war of computers? ... When did this new holy war begin?

Webmail apps are not desktop applications, and they should not try to behave like one. Every single one that tries fails horribly.

I have never in my life used a Webmail application as good as HoTMaiL was in 1997, before Microsoft bought it. Fuck all y'all for making any Web-based mail user interface more complicated than that.

Start fixing your sleep schedule now, US folks. Your time zone changes on the Sunday after next, & this is the lose-an-hour change. Start going to bed a bit earlier, & start getting up a bit earlier.

I never thought I'd see the day when MS did anything for any Unix newer than Xenix. I don't know how to feel about this.

These are both too real. This game is almost enough to make me go back to SOL.EXE.

I've been pinching out a hole in my toasts.
I could also butter the bread on both sides, use a glass to cut out a hole, & toast the hole alongside; although that should make it look like it came out of a certain masked antihero movie, it just feels more wasteful to me.

eggy in the basket recipe
1 egg
1 slice bread
1 pad butter (1-2 tsp)
seasoning
Form a hole in bread. Melt butter in a frying pan on medium-low heat. Place bread in pan, crack egg into hole, season. Fry until egg bottom sets, flip, fry until egg is done, serve.

Someone suggested I had the heat too high, and my second attempt at a slightly lower setting seems to confirm it.

I tried making eggy in the basket for the first time, using wheat bread. It tastes fantastic, but I fear I came up short on presentation a bit. What do you think?
