They need to make stickers that say "I voted yesterday!" By the time anyone can see my sticker, it will be tomorrow, and the sticker will no longer be accurate. | | Friday, August 21st, 2009 | | 11:52 am |
Vorn's Paella-oid
I made this last night! It was the tasty! 1 pound bulk sausage 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 green pepper 1 medium onion 10 cloves garlic 1 15-oz can of red beans 1 tbsp paprika 1 quart chicken broth 1 "family size" (14 oz) box yellow rice (I used Goya; it may not be available in the same sense from other companies) 1 lemon Crumble the sausage into a wok or paella pan, and cook on medium high it until some of the oils are released. Cube the chicken and put it in with the sausage, and cook both until brown. Slice the pepper and onion into squares, put those into the pan. Cook for a few minutes. Mince the garlic, drain and rinse the beans, and put those and the paprika into the pot. Cook for a few more minutes. Add the chicken broth, and bring it to a boil. Add the rice, and stir well. TUrn it down and cover it. Stir it occasionally until the liquid is almost all gone. Remove from heat. Slice the lemon, peel and all, into rounds, and place them on top all decorative-like. Put the pot on the table. Eat! | | Sunday, May 10th, 2009 | | 6:43 am |

I'm not dead
Moving house means that I've got no internet briefly. Installer is coming in tomorrow. Meanwhile I think I've have figured out Euler 88. Wow that was pretty. the minimal sum-product number of length 12000 is 12096: 84, 9, 4, 2, 2 and 11995 1's. Other things I wrote recently (this one for Euler 60): a reference counting garbage collector. For integers. I also got a new computer. It eats your computer for lunch. Possibly literally; this thing is huge. Vorn | | Friday, April 24th, 2009 | | 7:30 pm |
I'm kind of a nerd.
Today I did math on a blackboard for the first time in years. It was exhilerating. | | Monday, March 16th, 2009 | | 5:38 pm |
In my PHP class, the professor is asserting that the overhead for dropping out of PHP and back into HTML starts to stack up over many iterations of a loop. I said that I didn't find that likely, that it was sensible for the interpreter to break it down into essentially equivalent operations as it parses the file the first time. Unfortunately I can't find any actual data on this, likely due to a lack of decent search terms. So I turn to the Experts, that is to say, you guys. What do you think? | | Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | | 12:09 pm |
<Champ> "Oh, you're so strong! I know you ate my mate, but I love you!" I don't even want to know. | | Friday, March 6th, 2009 | | 2:34 am |
I can't think of any decent names, so I ask you! It should not be a name that's taken, and it should not mention Orion: aside from the trademark issue, my game's precursor world is Earth. Poll #1360600 Because "VornMoO" isn't going to cut it!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 14 What should I call my Master of Orion clone? | | Monday, February 9th, 2009 | | 9:00 pm |

Why aren't there more games with a playable denouement? So many end at the final boss. | | Thursday, December 25th, 2008 | | 3:45 pm |
We named it "Uznanskwii". Friend codes &c when we actually get it some internet access. | | Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | | 9:10 pm |
Why are there fifty thousand reskinnings of Monopoly out there, anyway? Monopoly isn't even that good a game. | | Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 | | 11:45 pm |

Here's mine. What are yours? 1. Ballos, from Cave Story 2. Ganon, from Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 3. Quadraxis, from Metroid Prime: Echoes 4. Meta Knight, from Kirby's Adventure 5. Photophage, from Blaster Master (the level 3 boss; I had to look up the name) | | Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 | | 6:12 pm |
Programming language question
Why do some languages - perl, javascript, and lua, for instance - have declared variables default to global? I've heard plenty of good arguments for defaulting to local - less coupling is good, not accidentally stomping your namespace is good, etc. - but I haven't heard any arguments at all, good or otherwise, for defaulting to global. | | Thursday, November 13th, 2008 | | 8:30 pm |
it's like an apocalypse in my mouth, and everyone's invited!
I made these tonight. 1 pound monterey jack cheese 1 pound hot sausage 1/2 medium yellow onion 1/2 cup salsa 15-20 jalepeño peppers crumble the sausage into a pan, brown it, put it into a food processor, but don't run it yet. chop the onion, cook it in the oil from the sausage, put that into the food processor. put the salsa into the food processor too. Run the food processor, dump the results into a big bowl. Grate the cheese, stir it into the bowl in stages. halve the peppers and remove the seeds. Stuff the peppers heapingly with the stuff from the bowl. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. They're absurdly spicy. Next time I think I'll try poblanos, and if I happen to have eggs, coat them in tempura batter. | | Saturday, November 8th, 2008 | | 8:59 pm |
