For a developer, doing beta releases on iOS can be a real pain sometimes.

For the past few years, we’ve had to go through the same song and dance: gather device IDs, create ad-hoc builds and then try to explain to users how to install them via iTunes. This can be trying for even technical users and non-technical users can get totally flummoxed. Let’s not even talk about people on Windows where the files often unzip in strange ways, leaving them totally confused.

Thankfully, Apple has made incremental improvements to this process over time. iOS 4.0 brings Web-based, wireless distribution of ad-hoc apps and the ability to embed provisioning profiles right into the IPA bundle. Your beta users can now install the software without ever using iTunes at all!

First, get the Pot. You need the simplest rice cooker made. It comes with two speeds: Cook, and Warm. Not expensive. Now you're all set to cook meals for the rest of your life on two square feet of counter space, plus a chopping block. No, I am not putting you on the Rice Diet. Eat what you like. I am thinking of you, student in your dorm room. You, solitary writer, artist, musician, potter, plumber, builder, hermit. You, parents with kids. You, night watchman. You, obsessed computer programmer or weary web-worker. You, lovers who like to cook together but don't want to put anything in the oven. You, in the witness protection program. You, nutritional wingnut. You, in a wheelchair.

A while back, I bought a pack of veggie bratwursts made by viana. I loved the taste and texture of those sausages and — as luck would have it — the ingredients listed the percentages of the two main ingredients (tofu and gluten). Using that info & the nutritional values, I “back engineered” a recipe.

I selected this recipe because not only is it a wonderful dish, but it
also demonstrates that Julia Child, stickler for classic technique
though she was, was always ready to learn a new technique. Earlier
versions of this recipe were much more complicated and involved making
a roux, but Julia says that this version is "far simpler and better."

Rice and corn are frequently combined in Mexican soups,
stews, and stuffings, and here they make a perfect match
all by themselves.

Lard is used extensively in Mexican cuisine, and is the fat of
choice when frying most foods. I have specified it in this recipe
for authenticity's sake, but you can substitute corn or vegetable
oil with excellent results.

Charles Dickens once wrote, "He did each single thing as if he did nothing else." Few quotes have captured the core of my personal philosophy so well, so succinctly.

It has come to my attention that this Sunday is the Super Bowl. Now, I don't want anyone to think that I'm a girlie-girl who doesn't like sports. In fact, I'm a much bigger sports fan than my husband. I just don't see the allure of 300-pound men chasing a little ball around and jumping on each other. I like 250-pound men skating around and chasing a little puck, with sticks. I am Canadian, after all.

I really hate that I still have food hang-ups. Don't get me wrong, the Josh from five years ago would marvel at what the Josh of today includes in his diet, but I still have such a long way to go to be the eater I aspire to. One of those absolutely silly things I've never been able to get over is peanut sauce. I love peanut butter, I love meat, but for some reason if the two were put together, it's not going in my mouth. It came time to crush this aversion into oblivion, and these beef satay skewers did just the trick.

Pesto is traditionally made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil. Here, the classic Italian sauce is re-imagined with corn in place of the basil. The finished dish has a creamy richness that's reminiscent of carbonara

For various reasons, I’ve been staying away from eating bread recently. This has led me back to an old favorite that I hadn’t made in a while, rice burgers. Rice burgers are made with rice that is formed into two flat patties, then made into sandwiches. Here are my original instructions for making a rice burger. Rice burgers are great for people who like onigiri (rice balls) but want a high filling vs. rice ratio.

Regular ground turkey, which is a mixture of dark and white meat, has a higher fat content (similar to that of lean ground beef). Hoisin sauce is a spicy, sweet sauce made from soybeans, chiles, garlic and spices. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year.

So, you've got your slice of wholemeal bread all ready spread with vegetarian margarine - but what else goes with them? Cordon Vert cuisine is OK in its place, but what do you do when you are running 5 minutes late for the bus and haven't got your lunchbox filled yet? Use your imagination of course! Here are some suggestions to get you started.

I've just recently gotten into burrata, a mozzarella-like cheese, which oozes luxuriously when you cut into it. I found out about the cheese after seeing it pop up on numerous restaurant menus, usually tossed into tomato salads. [What?! You mean you didn't read about it here on SE, Nick?!? Hmmph. ;) —The Mgmt.] Luckily, it also works wonderfully in this pasta recipe adapted from Local Lemons. It slowly melts atop the warm dish, lovingly coating the pasta

I’m a little surprised how much I’ve been loving the challenge of feeding myself for $2 a day. It’s been refreshing to look at the world in a different way. It’s also been great hearing from people, especially their tips for saving money on food.

This bento relies on two staples (plus premade frozen rice): meat soboro, and stewed hijiki seaweed with carrots and tofu.. 3-color soboro (sanshoku soboro 三色そぼろ) is a classic bento combination, and as you can see it’s quite colorful. To eat it yo mix the toppings into the rice. You may want to bring a spoon along to make eating the mixed rice easier.

I spent about an hour on Sunday making and cooking up a big batch of a basic burger mixture. The mix is very versatile, so I made four different things from it. Now I have enough mini-burgers, meatballs and more in my freezer for at least 20 or more bento portions. It was an hour well spent! I love just knowing that my freezer has a nice stock of ready-to-go bento items - it takes the pressure off considerably on busy mornings.

Over the past couple of years as I’ve pursued largely vegetarian eating, I’ve gradually accumulated a small arsenal of small, round bean patties or balls, which are great as snacks, for bento boxes, and just for dinner, in my regular rotation. This one was inspired by one of the first beany-round thing I made, the samosa-like lentil snacks from The Hungry Tiger, and a Japanese vegan cooking book called Saisai Gohan (Vegetable Meals) by Yumiko Kano. (Yumiko Kano is currently my favorite cookbook author in any language, and I’ll talk more about her down the line.) I’ve adjusted a few things to make them gluten-free.

Tamagoyaki, the slightly sweet rolled Japanese omelette, is a standby protein item for bentos. It tastes great at room temperature, is fairly easy to make (once you’ve done it a few times), and is cheap too. Plus the cheery yellow color brightens up any bento box.

I love chili, but ever since reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and watching "Food Inc." I have a hard time making it with ground beef. Of course, on special occasions, I make Michael Symon's recipe with slab bacon and pork shoulder, but last Wednesday wasn't a special occasion. No: it was just a weeknight and as I found myself wandering the aisles of Gourmet Garage, I wondered: "What if I just get a bunch of vegetables and beans and cook them the way I cook Michael Symon's chili? Ya know: with beer and chilis in adobo and freshly ground coriander and cumin seeds?" The results, as you can see above, were so good even Craig agreed: "I don't miss the meat!"

There are some attractive Adobe Flash based solutions for this type of UI component, and while JavaScript versions exist (see this and this), the commercial Flash products tend to have better aesthetics and polish. To redress the balance in JavaScript's favour, I have created this jQuery carousel plugin.

Cloud Zoom is a jQuery image zoom plugin, a comparable alternative to products such as Magic Zoom. Compared to the popular jQZoom plugin, Cloud Zoom is smaller, has more features and more robust compatability across browsers.

We needed a datalogger that provided a timestamp, and that would last 2 weeks in the woods. Using a laptop would require a generator or humongous battery. This Instructable shows how to make a datalogger from an Arduino and datalogger shield connected to a TelosB wireless sensor board and a battery that is large, but not wheelbarrow large. Your data goes onto a SD memory card on the datalogger for pickup later (whenever you have to change the batteries on all the wireless radios in your network, for example). The main challenge is getting the serial signal out of the TelosB before it gets translated into USB. We could probably have reprogrammed the TelosB to output the serial on another pin, but why program when you can solder? 

Z-Monitor is a free tool for monitoring and controlling IEEE 802.15.4 Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks.

If you're following the development of CSS3 you may have seen, last June, a proposal from John Daggett of Mozilla to bring advanced typography control to the web. A few months later we saw some experimental Firefox builds which demonstrated the features. The terminology has been through a slight update since then, from font-feature-opentype to font-feature-settings, but last week these experiments finally made their way into the trunk builds of Firefox 4.0 on Windows and Mac.

Shuffling through the hundreds of photos I’ve taken of past bentos and such, I dug up this sushi roll bento that I did last summer.



It’s a very simple bento really, which is probably why I never got around to posting it here. (I only post a fraction of the bentos I actually make and eat…I should probably post more!) It has a plain tamagoyaki made with 2 eggs, some leftover stewed beans, and fruit. The star of the bento is half of a fat sushi roll made with brown rice that is filled with some decidedly non-traditional things: lettuce, cucumber, raw carrot, ham and cheese, and the end bits of the tamagoyaki.

Password fields.

We all have to deal them, but they’re never a joy to use. Clearly they have to be obfuscated in some way–to keep our passwords safe from bypassers’ prying eyes–but when you’re unable to see what you’re typing, it’s easy to become hesitant, nervous even, and unsure of whether you’re entering the right information.
