Setja yfir vatn f. spagú. Hálfur laukur smátt saxaður ásamt sellerýstönglum, steikt í litlum potti. Þegar laukurinn er orðinn smá glær, má skvetta eins og 4 msk af vatni á hann, bæta við edikinu og sinnepinu og dillinu. Þegar þetta hefur soðið niður um helming skal taka pottinn af og hræra eggjarauðunum saman við. Þær þykkna hratt, og skal bæta smjörinu við smátt og smátt. Svipað og ef maður væri að laga hollandaisesósu. Skerið laxinn í þunnar sneiðar og saxið svo gróft. Þegar sósan er tilbúin skal setja laxinn út í. Gott er að bæta við 2-3msk af sýrðum rjóma, rjómaosti eða bara AB-mjólk, til að gefa frískara bragð.

Nú ætti pastað að vera tilbúið. Sigtið pastað. Saxið hinn helming lauksins smátt og berið fram með pastanu og sósunni, sem garnish. Endilega setjið líka piparkvörn á borðið og ef til er steinselja, karsi eða annað slíkt mætti bera það fram sömuleiðis. Ef þú ert óbermi, skal setja smjör á borðið, svo það verði nú örugglega nógu mikil fita í boði.

Marenering

smá rifið (maukað) engifer
kúfuð msk púðursykur

Grænmeti með

1 laukur
ca. bolli strengjabaunir
ca. bolli babymaís
dós af vatnskastaníum

Annað
Saxa 2 litla chillipipra
Saxa 4 hvítlauksgeira
Svartur pipar

Sósa
2 msk vatn
1 msk sojasósa
1 msk sérrý eða martini

Aðferð
Setja kjöt í marineringu
Steikja baunir í olíu og taka til hliðar
Steikja maís og taka til hliðar
Steikja lauk, búa til pláss fyrir kjöt, setja kjöt á pönnu og kvítlauk og chilli ofan á. Ekki hræra fyrr en eftir 1 mínútu, svo kjötið nái að brúnast almennilega, og hvítlaukurinn brenni ekki. Steikja svo kjötið á hreyfingu eftir að það hefur brúnast.

Bæta við maís, steikja í mín. Bæta við baunum og kastaníuhnetum og steikja í mín. Bæta við sósu og steikja í mín.

One thing that I’ve been planning for a long time has been to get pythonid, the python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, up to the same standard as the ruby plugin. IntelliJ IDEA is the greatest IDE I’ve tried for java, and the wealth of framework available to build on is astounding. They’ve managed to incorporate JavaScript as well, with a bunch of refactorings, so it should be possible to do something similiar with python. Main disadvantage is having to write in java or at least jython. Oh, well.

Anyway gonna setup a plan I can stick to, so this one won’t be relegated to the half-started projects bin.

I had surgery. Some things which were preventing normal drainage of my sinuses were cut away. Not fun

My older son received the yellow belt in karate.

Then there was Christmas (Jól in Icelandic, which is the old pagan name). My older son insisted that we celebrate Christmas because of Baby Jesus’ birth. My younger son then made the astute observation, that after Christmas, the Baby would crawl back into his Mommy’s belly.

Many presents were exchanged. The boys each got a ton of Lego. I got a USB wireless gamepad, compatible with PCs, XBox and PS2 from my brother-in-law. This has been put to good use in Lego Star Wars, which the boys also got.

I got Jeeves&Wooster, the complete series, on DVD from my wonderful wife. That was a big surprise as I had mentioned it in passing quite a while ago. Quite chuffed about that. I got her a perfume and body lotion which she has worn almost every day since.

Between Christmas and New Years Eve I had to work a bit, which was a bit of a bummer. I was still able to enjoy Christmas vacation though. Much needed and deserved rest.

Fjóla claims that I’ve now been “Old” for 2 years, but as I see it I have one year before I can be considered such.

My family and friends were constantly calling me up and wishing me happy birthday.

I would have liked to take the day off, but unfortunately my schedule doesn’t allow that right now. But it was a nice birthday

Múm played support. I liked what they were doing, but thought the singers were a bit over the top though. I guess they were mainly not used to performing to such a big crowd.

Rass also supported. They are a very hard punk-rock band and played some exceedingly good, and supremely short political songs. I liked them better than Múm actually.

Afterwards we met up with Mummi, my brother, and Marta, his girlfriend. They came home for some tea (honest!) and a chat.

Pure wmii doesn’t really work on Cygwin. It seems like there is some buffering on file sockets which means e.g. that Mod-p won’t kick in until I’ve switched buffers a few times. So I decided to go for ruby-wmii, which is nicely scriptable in Ruby, and has a faster implementation of IXP (which I’m not quite sure what is, but has something to with filesockets).

I’m really looking forward to trying this out in a serious way.

So I changed the Makefile in cmd and cmd/wm to read:

LDFLAGS = -L../liblitz -llitz -L../libixp -lixp -L../libcext -lcext
LDFLAGS += ${LIBS}

instead of

LDFLAGS += -L../liblitz -llitz -L../libixp -lixp -L../libcext -lcext

This worked like a charm. Unfortunately I am unable to start the bloody thing but I think I’ve found out why. DISPLAY is set to 127.0.0.1:0.0 in startx and/or startxwin, and the wmii script tries to create a folder in tmp that has this in it’s name. That works on most unixen, but not cygwin, due to the colon, which is probably illegal on windows. So I’ll have to replace that colon somehow.

update:

I modified the wmii file to

#!/bin/sh
# start wmiiwm and wait for its termination

wmiiwm -c || exit 1

OLD_PATH=$PATH export OLD_PATH
PATH=$HOME/.wmii-3:CONFPREFIX/wmii-3:$PATH export PATH
BLE=`echo /tmp/ns.$USER.${DISPLAY%.0} | sed 's|:|_|'`
WMII_ADDRESS=unix!$BLE/wmii export WMII_ADDRESS

mkdir -m 700 $BLE 2>/dev/null
wmiiwm -a $WMII_ADDRESS &
wmiiwmpid=$!
mkdir "$HOME/.wmii-3" 2>/dev/null && welcome &
wmiirc &
wait $wmiiwmpid

This quotes the home directory, which is good, since I stupidly still have Home = “Documents and Settings\Nonni”. This also replaces any colons in the socket file with an underscore, using sed.
