Easily Distracted

I love food. I enjoy cooking it, and I love eating it! One of life’s simplest pleasures. As I’ve recently moved out, I’m having to buy all my own stuff to be able to make things. This has the advantage that I can be specific in what I eat, but it has the huge disadvantage that I must pay for it. :’( So I’ve tried to make food that’s good, doesn’t require too many ingredients, is cheap, and doesn’t take too long to prepare. Here’s some of the stuff that’s been made in our tiny little kitchen:

My roommate has a cat named Cube. You can see his recent 2nd birthday picture over at Pope’s bloggy-thing. When Cube is not taking up as much of my tiny bed as he possibly can, he’s … well, he’s most likely lounging somewhere else. Ah, the life of a cat. Anyways, here’s some snaps of the ‘lil guy.

Finally got around to setting up a VNC server on my PDA. It freaked me out a little when the first app I tried prevented stylus input. DELETE! So, that was because I was using an old version of fbvncserver made for the zaurus 5500. I have the zaurus SL-C760 (still using default SHARP ROM), and it’s not available outside of Japan, so the best support is… in Japan, of course. After fruitless efforts browsing ZUG forums and other “local” resources, I made a quick trip to http://www.google.jp and found what I was looking for here. Install it. Reboot QT, and voila! I gotta admit, it’s pretty sexy controlling the zaurus through my laptop… I can’t believe it took me so long to get around to doing this. Apparently, the new fbvncserver for the 6000 model will also work, you just have to change the default mode from portrait (or something).

Heading out to Half-Price Computer Books, today. They got a big sale on… gonna go bargain hunting. I’ll probably end up buying more books I don’t need.

Update: Took some action shots!
