Fonts

What is Unicode is finally rendered properly on caracolito - i have downloaded enough fonts to render ethyopian, georgian, arabic, east and south-east asian, indian and european unicode text. Hurray ;-)

artm’s first mac os x program ;~)

v0.4 of pyGalleryRemote works (oh yeah, slightly modified - has to use pythonw and not python) works (although looks ugly) on mac os x. i’ve just managed to upload a picture (Snog from blender site) from my account on Stock’s kidney.

Espresso machine

My krupps is almost dead, so we went to look for some replacement. Somewhere in the mall in Emmen we came across espresso specialist who showed what full automat espresso machine feels like. We were very impressed, you can get a cup of espresso with one click (isn’t that patented by amazon?) The guy also had an occasion - old machine for half price. Yeah, right ;-)

I’ve looked at Kies Keurig and found a new full automat for the same price - Saeco Cafe Grade Nero. Hopefully it’ll be here soon ;-)

more philosophy

I have bought 2 second hand books in De Slegte yesterday: “Existentialisme” by Hans Redeker and “A History of Western Philosophy” by Bertrand Russell (see also). So very nice to own somebody else’s books. “The history…” is full of underlining with a red ballpoint and even some notes (click to see):

“Existentialisme” is from 1949, when all of them people were still busy existing. But it still looks virgin. Not new, but untouched… Old maiden of a book.

Existentialism

Masohist that I am, I’ve got me “Was ist metaphysik?” by Martin Heidegger after having finished Sartre’s “L’Etre et le NĂ©ant” and “L’existentialisme est un humanisme”.

Tuna casserole dish

Here is a recipe for tuna casserole from the Jean-Paul Sartre Cookbook:

“Place the casserole dish in a cold oven. Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever. Think about how hungry you are. When night falls, do not turn on the light.”

Gallery

I’ve installed some gallery on the site, it has 20 Dima’s first photos.

but i don’t see how useful it is…
