Sushi time!!!

15 September 2006 Food, General Comments Off on Sushi time!!!

Last week-end, I tried (and I more or less succeeded) to make some maki sushis:

I didn’t have rice vinegar the first time, thinking it wasn’t really necessary, but I strongly advice you to add some together with sugar and salt. I did it the second time, and it greatly enhance the taste of the rice!!!

However, it surely didn’t prevent me to eat my first homemade sushis from the first one to the last one :yummy:! I made two sort of them: salmon, and crabe and cucumber. Also, privilege raw salmon to smoked one…

A wooden plate would have been more appropriate, but hey, it was the first time! 😉

New design…again!

I was quite happy with my last design (the greenish one), but I thought I would be happier with another one. This is why I designed this brand new site like you can see it right now! It’s clean, sober, and it has all the functionnalities the old one had.

And if you prefer the old one, it’s still available from the right panel: just make your choice between grey and green!!!

10 fingers typing

26 August 2006 General, Linux Comments Off on 10 fingers typing

Until this morning, I only used up to 4 fingers when typing on the computer. Then I installed KTouch : a program to learn how to touch-type. After training a couple of hours, I’m able to use all my fingers to type… and it’s so great! Why did I wait so long to learn it!!!

KTouch

Using KTouch is simple : once installed, fire it up, and select your keyboard layout. Then select a default lecture, and start a new training session. The default color theme colors the key by finger, but you can change it. You can also configure KTouch so that it automatically changes the difficulty level in accordance with your results : the limits (in character per second and error rate) to increase or decrease the level are adjustable.

It’s a good tool to learn typing and train to increase your typing speed (I must be around the 20 words per minute, so I still have to train a lot!!!). Actually, I’m typing faster with only 2 fingers, but I’m sure it will be the other way around within a couple of weeks ;-).
