I want my hour back.
GIVE BACK MY SIXTY MINUTES.
I hate you, whoever came up with the loony idea of robbing people of their time!
You suck.

Random annoyances.
There is hair everywhere. In the bathtub, on the floor, inside the keyboard, everywhere! Strange little hair creatures live in corners of my flat. It's so aggravating. I really don't have time to clean now or recycle. So my flat looks abysmal and weird. The omnipresent hair makes it worse. It's like my head has transformed into a human cat/shedding machine. I reckon I must be losing at least 200-300 strands a day.
And I seem to have entered a joyless cooking phase where I just make things as fast as I can so that I can gobble them up and get back to work. On top of it, my tea consumption has gone up to nearly 30 cups a day. I am not so concerned about drinking so much tea (it's mostly water and some milk). The main problem is I am out of my favourite teas (tetley and harrod's) because I just kind of burned through my stash. I don't have the time or inclination to go to the Indian store so I am stuck with my less-liked teas.
I am finding out that I really hate Chamomile tea. Worst pathetic tea in the world.

Techno'ed out
I currently use:
A laptop with fedora (Heavyduty (for me!) computing, coding and writing)
A laptop with an ubuntu derivative (madbox) (experimentation with linux)
A laptop with a lean modded WinXP (communicating with the non-clued in world. Read: people who don't know what LaTeX and linux are, live in the past and deal with the painful M$hit word.)
A tablet with honeycomb and considering dual boot with ubuntu LXDE. (Heavyduty PDF reading)
A smartphone with Ice cream sandwich (Camera with panorama)
A smartphone with gingerbread (Alarm Clock with fancy tunes.)
At work:
A paleolithic machine with some ancient slow version of WinXP (good for pretty much nothing really, because its so slow and terrible).
I bet (e:paul) has more devices (actually I would love to see your list, (e:paul). :)) and whatnots but what about you all?

Perfect brown paper bag popcorn from scratch
- Get a brown paper lunch bag
- Put in around 4 heaped tablespoons of unpopped kernels
- Set your microwave to 2-3 minutes and put the bag in
- When the popping slows to 1-2 per second take it out (this is crucial, burnt results are terrible).
- Empty the popped popcorn out over a big surface area (a generous bowl, perhaps).
And now is the step that no one on the net is sure about. How to make the seasoning stick to the air-popped or microwave popped popcorn:
- spray the popcorn with an ultra fine spray-mist of ... water!
- sprinkle on the seasoning. I love just plain salt.
That's it. Totally guilt free, perfectly seasoned popcorn without a stove, without toxic stuff, without preservatives, from kernels to perfection in under 5 minutes.

Share Android files with Linux laptop via WiFi!
Motsha Wireless File transfer
(fork of swiftp)
It's so simple, it's amaaaaaazing!
Once you install the app.
- Go to Setup
- Input a username and password
- check accept connections from wifi
- check accept connections from net proxy
- check keep phone awake (full cpu speed)
- Tap Save
- Tap Start
- The wifi url will appear
On your linux:
- Open a console
- create a directory: mkdir somedirectorywhereyouwantthefiles
- and from that directory, do:
wget -m --user=username --password=password ftp: // 10.0.0.7:2121/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/
where username and password are the ones you set in Step 2
and the ftp address is the address that appears in Step 8.
Transfer speed: 54MB/s (the max on my router). No more hunting for USB cords!!! I know I keep whining about linux but once you step to linux windows seems infernal and complete paleolithic.

Finally. Regular Bread without recipes
I think that is progress.
Only, it's progress in the words of a frog in that arithmetic problem, you know, the one that lives in a slimy well and jumps up 4 steps to fall back 3.
