Make Dutch Country Cheese Soup!

After you’ve made some nice onion soup, how about trying a different soup? The soup is called Dutch country cheese soup.

Yet again, it is a soup that is perfect for the cold winter days (speaking of which, today it’s -15 C here).

Winter will soon be here in full effect at the Northern hemisphere, especially here in Scandinavia. What better way to thaw from the subzero temperatures than with some good, hot food. Here’s an easy recipe for some damn good onion soup.

Do-It Yourself Ominously Apocalyptic Prophecy Generator

Found this old crappy program I made a long time ago. It autogenerates ominous-sounding “prophecies” รก la Nostradamus. Have a look at Nostra and run for cover!

Example:

“You know how to handle contradicting of singularity, but you cannot read the signs of the times. It is the exile asking for a crown jewel, but the only thing given will be the sign of the Equator.” (3 John 9:44)

New Zenburn version (v2.3)

Includes CursorLine fix for 256-color mode by Pablo Castellazzi. Get it here! Also up at vim.sf.net.

LibGMP Version of Rowland’s Prime Generating Function

I took Christian Sonne’s C-language version of Eric Rowland’s algorithm to generate prime numbers, optimized it and enhanced it to use the GNU MP multiple precision arithmetic library.

This means you can keep on running it as long as you like and occasionally peek which primes pop out. It might be good to redirect the output to a file, too.

The Missiles of Iran – Photoshopped or Not? (updated)

In the ongoing waltz around the issue of nuclear power / nuclear weapons of Iran, recently Iran conducted a missile launch test using long-range missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv and other cities of Israel. This test was obviously in response to Israel’s earlier military exercise in the Mediterranean. And that was in response to the fear of Iranian nuclear weapons and threatening political rhetoric by Iran’s leaders, and so on and so on.

Anyway, some pictures and video were released from the missile test. In the pictures, due to self-similarities in the dust clouds resulting from a missile launch, claims were made that Iran’s missile test pictures had been digitally altered. And, of all things, using the simple “stamp” aka. clone aka. copy-move tool available in most image editing software…

New Zenburn version

Incorporates a small fix for StatusLine in the 256-color terminal mode. Thanks to Charlie for spotting it. Get it here.

Update: v2.2 also now in vim.sf.net. (I found my password, hooray)

New Zenburn version

Changes: some of the “obscure” syntax groups (like the spellchecker groups) now should be harmonious with the rest of the colors. Also Tablines look nice now – I don’t use them so Tablines (and related groups) were unfortunately very overlooked…

Version number was upped to 2.0.

Note, I tested it with Vim 7.1.241.

Get it at the Zenburn page. I’m going to upload it to vim.sf.net also when I find my account info :)

Wordpress Plugin to Hide Protected Pages

I could not find this functionality in Wordpress, so I rolled my own. It’s like the simplest Wordpress plugin in the world. With it you can hide (password) protected pages from being displayed. The plugin lives here.
