Baking Until I Drop

If you read my previous post on how to dispose of my third, rarely used computer, you will see that I’m thinking of putting it in the kitchen.

Well, mom says it sounds like a great idea! (She hasn’t commented saying that so I guess I have no proof.)

So, this is my new project.

But there’s no point in reinventing the wheel!
I’m sure lots of other people have kitchen computers and I know there are lots of people running Linux. Yes, it would be nice if I knew for sure if they intersected, but this is where Google will come.

I don’t know what people generally want in a kitchen computer (well, I’m thinking small form factor, you know Shuttle, Shoebox, Mac Mini, but we know that’s out) and I don’t know what I will want in a kitchen computer.

I guess, since I want to make least use of the keyboard, I may have to setup an automatic login (eep!) but I guess the automatic login user can be the lowliest of the low with only permission to execute very few programs and no remote login? I wonder if that’ll help.

What do I know!

Yeah…and recipe filers would be good too.

Wish me luck. I’m sure it’s not hard. The hardest part might be living with 800×600 resolution!

Well you know, I feel weird having three computers to my name. I guess I’m not a true geek. I haven’t made myself happy with my linux box yet. I don’t know why. Time? I may not be a true linux-er.

*sigh*

I know what would do it tho…installing Linux *only* on my powerbook.

I just have to. But, even tho I don’t use flash alot, I don’t think I could live without it. But whenever I use Xubuntu for a prolonged period of time on the powerbook, I think why not. Whenever I use OSX for a prolonged period of time…I think um…flash um…

But that’s not what this post is about.

It’s about the other two computers.

I was wandering thru Flickr looking at foodpix taken with the Canon EOS 20D (not what I want but still…I happened there), and I found Lariffic who seems to take really nice pictures.

And I followed the links to her various websites and here she posts about her gear…:-(

Look!

I’m not sure if I should show the person’s picture…oh well.

*yawns*
not really sure how 1 year olds can really enjoy certain parties and how many gifts they should be getting but…

Mom and I made pastelles today.
Yes, they are traditional Christmas food but we like ‘em anywayz.

We made lamb pastelles. They were yummy!
If mom provides me with a recipe (for the cornmeal dough and the lamb filling), I will post it.

They’ve finally reduced my speed to 128k/64k a few days ago.
I haven’t been able to get in contact with them about the service because they call during work hours. Silly them.
