Take some lamb mince, shallot, garlic, cumin, lemon juice and fry it all up.
Take some black olives and chop them up, removing stones if necessary.

tasty and quite quick

The encryption for Galileo satellite system has been cracked by a team in Cornell, so it looks like this will become as open as the USA GPS system

Last weeks news, I was in France, but the building site beside Nature had a fire, it'll be the new Guardian offices soon and a concert venue
Listening to my collegues in Nature discussing the papers that get submitted to our journals is like listening to another language. People accuse geeks, like me, of speaking in an unpenetratable language, but ours is mostly about making human behaviours possible, not the internals of life.
I can point at a database table and say this represents your address and this is the relationship to your name. Certainly I'm at a loss sometimes when trying to follow along. Biochemistry is more mystifying than ruby or folksonomies.
I'm not really a sports fan, but I managed to watch some of the football recently, whilst on holiday in France. So this will not be insightful commentry on the actual games, though England were dull as dishwater mostly. For the record, I'm now cheering on France, as I have Hugenot ancestors, at some point.
The point. which came to me was the huge number of flags which litter the central reservations of UK motorways, there are literally thousands of them, snapped off and flung by car wheels, to the middle, to lie poor and neglected for the remains of the summer. Oddly, in France I only saw some sun hats with French colours, alongside some shoes for Portugal, Brazil and France. Yet there is no denying that the French support their team, but their cars are unadorned. I'm puzzled as to why the English feel the need to drape their houses, cars and children in the English flag, primarly for football.
I've got fed up with the comment spam, so for the moment I've moved this weblog to typekey authentication. This means that you'll need to have a login registered with typekey and use that to sign in before you can comment. I know that this will mean a drop in the number of comments I get, but I'm tired of deleting comment spam.
Perhaps when I upgrade to MT 3.3 I'll open things up again.

The derivation of the phrase is nautical, relating to being allowed to have a drink, a tot of rum, in fact. My wife's parents say it is about 7pm on land, though 6pm works sometimes.
