A little while back I got all high on my abilities and had a child.

I thought this phrase was pretty funny.

Uh oh, sounds like the second cookbook is all Teodor-style.

What's wrong with that? There's surely equal scope in this ol' universe of ours for both "How to Boil an Egg" and "How to Make a Souffle" isn't there?

Well, the variety of characters in the first one was entertaining. But maybe he'll have Phillippe making a souffle from an old family recipe.

Ah well, I've never read the first one. The sample recipes just didn't appeal to me who can already cook.

Because I feel that there is scope to be misinterpreted, my original question wasn't intended to be dickish, I was purely curious about the relative dis-merits of a Teodor-style cookbook.

[wombat]

Onstad never seemed to manage to market the cookbook properly in my opinion. It doesn't matter if you want to cook from it. If you would buy one of Beef's 'zines, you should buy the cookbook. Or if you read the blogs, it's like blog entries that happen to have recipes in them. 

That being said, I can already cook, but there are a few recipes in it that have become regulars for me. They are not all 'how to boil an egg' because some of the characters know how to do more than boil an egg.  And while it mostly ignored dessert, it turned out to have the chocolate chip cookie recipe I'd been looking for all my life. Hmm, I wonder if Teodor knows how to make brownies?

Print cable? Beef hasn't upgraded Molly to a USB, ethernet, or WiFi printer yet? Dang dude, I know she's from olden times but come on dogg.

I wonder if the dog has a cone. I hope not, they always look so sad, plus it makes them harder to hug.

As teched-out as Beef is, there's probably an extent to which his humbleness shines through, you know.

It has probably been cheaper/less complicated to just hook up his printers the old fashioned way and has kind of dug his heels in on the subject out of a combination of frugality and nostalgic pride, buffered by a smidge of paranoia about the idea of wireless being an invitation to being hacked.

But at the end of the day, that is all probably bullshit rationalization for the fact that he is neurotic about money.

Whiskey or whisky. He's right, don't get drunk and think about it.

Dogs are important, but they get you up too early in the morning on your day off. Nevertheless, I am no longer wondering if sleep-deprivation is the reason that I am extremely in love with Achewood this week. This is just too excellent, again.

Beef probably likes old hardware for the reasons a lot of programmers do: the interfaces are simpler to write for and they let you work "closer to the metal."  A lot of guys keep 386s around because they're basically a modern computer minus everything inessential.  Like the floating point processor.

One thing to say: Print Shop on the Apple ][ series.

Ooo Ooo me too.

Today the Technical Staff told me that he couldn't fix my FTP program but that he could tell me how to do it from the DOS command line. I told him that I was very very sad to say this, but that I no longer knew how to FIND the DOS command line. I didn't even know it was still deep down there somewhere.

He comforted me by saying it wasn't my fault, that now Windows hid it really hard on purpose.

Similar and opposite to this, has anyone else ever, in Word, made the mistake of putting a border around the last paragraph in a document, only to type more text after it and have the goddamn border follow you? This drives me insane. Ctrl+End should, IMHO, take you outside that formatting, but what do I know?

We rocked WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS in my high school typing keyboarding class. No one had that shit mastered like me. NO ONE. At least no one at my school.
