Pretty intense group of morons. Some of these signs just make me weep for humanity.
To think that people are so selfish, that they don’t want to provide healthcare to the masses. Its bad enough the state that we leave 3rd world countries in. Cant we at least take care of ourselves.
Sad.

Im going to be making Catherine’s Spicy Chicken Soup today.
Shopping List and Kroger
I’m about to take off to Kroger with my list of ingredients for this Chicken Soup, after I take a shower. Well see what ingredients I can find and what struggles I encounter.
…
I’ve just gotten back. It was quite interesting. I had to make a decision on the 8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts. I couldn’t really find a deal on it. Had trouble finding Chicken Bouillon. Found out that they are cubes of salt flavored powdered chicken broth.
Other then that everything went smoothly.
After watching a BBC documentary about 10 factually proven things to losing weight. I’ve decided that I will attempt to eat high protein breakfasts. Followed by soups for lunch. Every few days I plan on cooking a different soup, that i’ll reheat for lunch.
Prep Work
Since the chicken was already skinned and boneless, each individually packaged, it was rather easy to throw those into the pot. The only prep work i had to do was cutting the onions (tears ahoy!) and garlic, and shredding the cooked chicken. Measuring out 30 things was somewhat of a pain but whatever.
The concept behind soup and weight loss is that soup has more volume. The example of this was two teams of soldiers were given the same meals, just prepared differently. Team Red was given rice, chicken, and vegetables with a cup of water. Team Yellow was given the same thing but blended into a soup.
After an afternoon of exercise they did ultrasounds of each teams stomach. What was discovered was that Yellow team was still not hungry because the soup still remained in the stomach.
This was explained by the water in Team Reds meal draining out rather quickly only leaving behind solid food. The solid food was then digested rather quickly. Team Yellow’s meal couldn’t drain and thus remained longer in the stomach.
Cooking
Not much to do here but wait. Soup cooks itself. :P
Taste
Wow. Just finished. I have to say, despite being really hungry. That was fantastic. That was some awesome soup!

I read about this new water filtration system. Rather then me explaining it check out the links below. I guarantee you will be astonished.

So as I come to a finish in my Learning Perl (O’Reilly) book, I’ve started to pick up reading in another book called Beautiful Code (O’Reilly). I just purchased the hard copy, because it was so hard to put down I had to read it even when I was away from the computer.
Chapter 1 has been a terrific adventure. One of the things that really captivated me about Perl was Regex (or Regular Expressions). Chapter one covered a problem in the topic and was very interesting.
As for school, I’ve finally registered for my classes. Not much programming but more prerequisites to programming classes. Once they are done I can pretty much jump into any division of CS or SWE classes I would like. Its going to be great motivation for me to do well in these prereq. classes.
Anyways, I’ve been learning very enthusiastically about an array of technical subjects; my only wish is that I continue to be enthusiastic down the long road of life and I hope I never lose this interest.

Check it out. I colorized OS X’s terminal!
It was disgusting without colors. So I enabled them via .bash_profile.
Unfortunately, the default blue used to display Directories was disgusting too.
Imagine the darkest blue on a black background. Staring at such a file for hours starts to cause headaches. It’s now the most pleasant shade of light blue on black. Much more appealing to me.

I was thinking how cool it would be if I could customize settings for each location in OS X.
Currently Location only works for network configurations. Wouldn’t it be cool if apple added more functionality to this making your laptop smarter.
Lets take this scenario into account. At home where your macbook may be secure a screensaver that prompts for a password is unnecessary. Nobody is there to snoop! Bring that laptop out of the context of that location, such as work and the whole situation changes. It would be super awesome to be able to change your location to “Work” and get instant changes to all your settings. Not only network settings but screensaver would then lock on prompt. Of course each locations settings would be completely configurable.
Opinions?

Been very busy at the end of this semester. Had no time to post, but now that exams are finished I have plenty of time!
I’ve been working on Objective C + Cocoa Touch Frameworks to eventually make iPhone applications. I’m making great progress. ( Did a little Cocoa Frameworks on the side for Mac OS X programming but not as much as the iPhone programming. )
I’ve also learned a lot about Assembly and loading a micro-controller with instructions for a range of different purposes. Learned how to use I2C and SPI. Pretty cool stuff there.
I also have been starting on FPGA programming but so far I’m not sure if its my thing. Cool stuff but a little like rocket science to me. :\
I feel I’ve also been making great progress on my sketches with Pen and Paper. I might digitize the book. The first few drawings are very embarrassing but some are interesting.
