Linux.com | Task management made simple with todo.txt and Tux ToDo

Tux ToDo is a lightweight, fast and simple todo list manager.  Just downloaded it and after decompressing clicked on the executable and it launched within a second.  Basic interface but it seems to have everything needed to keep a todo list up to date without much overhead.  Just what the disorganized person needs.

Powered by a Changfa diesel engine.  Interesting engine conversion. Note the belt drive.

GNUzilla – Summary [Savannah]

The home to the GNU version (to be) of FireFox named IceWeasel.   Nothing here yet but a bit of text and some source code links but with Mozilla getting sh*tty about the logo and name this is the way to go.  Hope this works out.

Boing Boing: Shampoo eBay seller threatened by manufacturer for photographing product

Jamie Olson from California bought some Aquage shampoo, made by SalonQuest, and offered it for sale on eBay. Her eBay listing included her own photos of the product. Soon after, a private investigator hired by SalonQuest, emailed Olson, demanding the she stop selling the shampoo.

SalonQuest, another manufacturer that I will never buy from. Stupid lawyers and their pointless (other than to line their pockets) lawsuits…

Recipies – ACTIVATING YOUR DRIED SOURDOUGH CULTURES

Bits and pieces. So much to learn about a (seemingly) simple process…

My starter does have the brown water on it so must be close anyway.  Wondering if I should use milk the next time.  Some say to and some say not to…

Jeff Varasano’s NY Pizza Recipe

This dude has a serious pizza jones!  And I salute him for it.  Am going to try again soon in my mud/brick oven.  Last time I didn’t get the floor hot enough and they kept sticking.  The pieces that made it out were good but just not what I was looking for.  May try a bit of coal next time to increase the heat.  Though I was cooking loaves of bread in about 5 minutes last night after doing a stir and sweat number on the coals that were left after the fire was mostly out.  Kept moving them around for a half hour or so which got the floor just about right for the bread so maybe that is what I need to do for the pizzas too.

Neat! Looks to me like you could use any large leaves just as long as they are still flexable.
