Han In - Korean

View Larger Map Because my last restaurant review was so successful here is another one. It was also mentioned on the Python Meetup that it is a bit difficult to find good restaurants in Barcelona, because most of them are mediocre, especially for the lunch menu. I have been there now four times and the food was always good and the service excellent. The lunch menu is very good value for money. For about 10 Euro you get a good sized starter, a main, dessert and a soft drink or wine. ...

Paella

Paella

This is my recipe for paella. The picture was the most recent one I made. It was not perfect because it is my largest pan and it gets a bit difficult. I used two other recipes I found on-line and combined them. olive oil 2 chicken breasts cut in dices 2 onions diced 300 g paella rice 750 ml chicken stock saffron handful frozen peas 1/2 green pepper 1/2 red pepper mixed seafood: squid, prawns, octopus, mussels, shrimps, fish parsley dry white wine lemon Heat a paella or other big flat pan.

A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind!

A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind!

My current home office setup. The newest addition is the Samsung 245b 24" 1920x1200 TFT display. It is probably not the best one around, but is pretty good for the stuff which I do, which is mostly programming. The main computer is an old Athlon XP 2400. I am currently waiting for replacement parts. I brought most of the stuff with me from London, which means it is from 2003 or older. At the moment the machine is running Fedora 9, but will be upgraded to Fedora 10 once it is out and the parts arrive. I think the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is the only Microsoft product I use. It is the UK version, because I can’t get used to the local versions. The mouse is a Logitech G9, just upgraded from a G5. I am not sure about the G9 just yet, the previous mouse somehow feels better in my hand. ...

The free world has a new leader (elect)

I am glad about the result and this shows that the USA can be a leader in democracy. My guess is that will take a long time until we see a president in a European country who is not white. The news also speak about the amazing high turnout in this election. This might be high for the US, but does not seem so high for the rest of the world. ...

La Generalitat estudia obligar a los usuarios del Bicing a llevar casco | El Periódico de Catalunya | Barcelona

La Generalitat estudia obligar a los usuarios del Bicing a llevar casco | El Periódico de Catalunya | Barcelona: “El conseller de Interior, Joan Saura, ha manifestado hoy que en ’estos momentos’ el Govern mantiene conversaciones con el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona para hacer balance del servicio del Bicing, y ‘considerar la posibilidad’ de obligar a los usuarios a llevar casco.” – That should put a stop at the problem of too many users at least.
