Buffalo Botanical Gardens

I love going to the buffalo botanical gardens on a sunny winter day. Its so nice to feel the rays on your face in the Cactus room and the humidity in the rest of it.

I signed up for another membership last time. I gotta get back soon because the ponderosa lemon tree is starting to blume. I think that might be my favorite smell in the world.

Ortiz Tuna at Wegman's

For some reason our Wegmans on Amherst St in the city went from having Ortiz brand tuna in two separate areas to not having it at all.

Luckily, my new favorite Wegmans in West Seneca had it in all three varieties. I love the one in the glass jar so much.

The one in the box is actually the tastiest but I am convinced that its extra delicious fattiness makes it higher in mercury content. Not that I am too worried about that after my mercury test turned up nothing crazy.

Cleaning out the kitchen

Cleaning of the kitchen I threw out anything I hadn't used in a year, anything I had a better version of, and any food that expired.

Six garbage bags later I feel much better about the state of the kitchen. We were borderline girders with all the crap that was stacking up.

Emptying the jello boxes for recycling I noticed sugar free jello is practically an empty box. Why don't they adjust the box size for that.

(e:tinypliny). I have both a food processor and wand blender that ate slated for trash. Want either of them? There are also two forms of popcorn Popper if anyone is interested.

Yummy Left Overs from Russel's

I came home for lunch to finish up my birthday leftovers. They were so yummy. It's hard to believe but it was not fish. Well, I did have calamari and oysters as an appetizer.

Exlusively Alaskan Good Crab Legs Part 2

As part of my birthday surprises (e:matthew) and (e:terry) headed back down to Exclusively Alaskan Good in Eden (e:paul,53138). Its so amazing to have such a great source of fresh Alaskan sea food close to home.

Its hard to believe but I think we got thicker crab legs than last time (e:paul,53149) and you know they say its the girth, not the length that matters anyways with king crab.

image

image

Here they are cooked

image

They also got some delicious looking salmon, halibut cheeks and elk steaks. I will take a picture of those when I cook them.

Objective C and XCode Suck

First of all my nook color is going to bankrupt me. The ability to have every computer book on one convenient, internet accessible package is overwhelming. Especially when they use such sneaky tactics as sending me an email saying, "Its snowy out, wouldn't you like to get a new book for your nook without having to leave the house."

Anyways, the point of this is that I got an objective C book so that I couldn't finally spend some time on it and it does in fact suck. For me, its simply too verbose and the NS (NextStep), camel case bullshit kills it.

That plus Xcode is so freakin awful. I thought an apple designed IDE would be refreshingly better. Turns out not to be the case. It makes me miss eclipse. Apple seems to be losing it to me anyways. Just look at the non standard interface for the new app store and the new itunes. I think the only reason they are generally successful with design is they cut out features until there are very few things to add to the design. Of course its easy to have a clean interface on something that only has a few options. I guess Xcode is an example of what they do with a larger, complicated application..

Xcode gets to the point where you have ~10 windows all open and even have to drag between them to accomplish stuff. And yes, I can remember all the keyboard shortcuts to bring the different parts I want to the front but its still a cluttered mess.

Enough with Xcode, this was supposed to be about objective C.

Well here is an example of my point about objective C. Several language comparisons of making arrays.

Objective C
NSMutableArray *items = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"One", @"Two", @"Three"];

Javascript
var items = ["One", "Two", "Three"];

PHP
$items = array("One", "Two", "Three");

Perl
@items = ("One", "Two", "Three");

Java
String[] items = {"One", "Two", "Three"};

C#
string[] items = new string[] {"One", "Two", "Three"};

Ruby
items = ['One', 'Two', 'Three']
