What's new
Its been a while since I wrote an update here, and this is because its been a while since I've spent much of my leisure time hacking on anything particularly interesting. I've had some fairly interesting problems to play with at work, and the thing is, I really only have so much coding in me every day. When that isn't being used up with work related stuff, I find myself itching to spend my leisure time cranking stuff out. Lately that hasn't been the case. I know that it's in my best interest to spend time coding and writing about coding outside of work, but my personal resolve to do that tends to vary in the extreme. A graph of my posting frequency looks like a sine wave with a rapid interval.

What have I been up to? Pretzels. If you've got the ingredients, give it a shot. They're real awesome, and it's very satisfying to see them come out of the oven. If there are too many, freeze those suckers. I'm still experimenting with how to thaw them, but 300 degrees for about 7 minutes seems to be the sweet spot.
