Cooking With Richard

Lady M took us to an Ethiopian restaurant tonight and this was the first time I have enjoyed Ethiopian food. The meal consisted of small lamb and chicken dishes surrounding a sourdough pancake called injera. To be honest the pancake was very sour and somewhat unpleasant.

The lamb and chicken dishes were pleasant enough once we’d ordered some rice to replace the pancake.

Notice my rather excellent ELER / Schneier T-shirt in the above photo.

I laughed out loud at this:

“Bruce Schneier generated his RSA key with the two largest prime numbers.”

Update

A short explanation on the above: There are an infinite number of prime numbers as is taught in any basic number theory course, so there are no “two largest” primes. But the meta-joke is that if Schneier had actually chosen the two largest primes then because the numbers would (presumably?) be close it would be wide open to a Fermat attack.

I asked N-sama to make my favourite food for my birthday[1].

[1] My 30th if you were wondering.

Recipe from Jamie Oliver, but I used broad beans instead of olives.

This is our lovely local heron:

N-sama tried to set fire to the kitchen. I burned my hand on a smoking pan of hot oil:

For the past few weeks N-sama has been wondering about the strange secret project I’ve been engaged in. Well, here it is, revealed to the world for the very first time:

JONESFORTH

The internet in all its glory forgets my first brush with FORTH, which happened in around 1981 or ‘82 with ARTIC’s FORTH. I still have my original cassette and manual.

Ever since then I wondered how it worked …

Only now have I found out and become enlightened.

Please somebody buy me a Jupiter ACE.

£14.99 -> £14.89, a whole TEN PENCE.

I hate supermarkets.

An indescribably odd website.
