Potpourri #1095 Another ESNG meeting tonight, but in the mean time, here are some more random internet finds…. A bit of culture, as John Betjeman goes by train from King’s Lynn to Hunstanton. Some lovely modelling ideas here, at this link. Some random Jago Hazzard. At the moment, he’s taking a well earned break from these fun and instructive videos. Making a very small layout (in Japanese). And to finish, some more …

The Search for the Ultimate Mai Tai, , more info
Recipe: Cherry Pie Tai This Mai Tai riff from Nathan Robinson was a delicious twist on an old favorite. It’s especially nice if you’re looking for something else to use with Cherry Heering liqueur. I love the combination of blended Demerara rum and a bit of Rhum Agricole from Martinique. Delicious, give it a try. My only gripe is the name. Shouldn’t it be “Cherry Pai Tai”? Cherry Pie Tai by Nathan Robinson¾ oz …

Britain’s busiest Railway Stations No 9 Thursday 22nd February 2024 I’m counting down Britain’s (aka London’s) top ten busiest railway stations according to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), and after last month’s entry, taking a look at Euston (at No 10), it’s the turn of Farringdon. The station has stormed into the top ten thanks to the Elizabeth line boosting the number of passengers after it began operating through the station in May 2022 …

Airbag Industries by Greg Storey, , more info
Adiós muchachos. Perhaps I should be more emotional about this, but this will be my last blog post on Airbag. The time has come to make this domain more useful than where I share my thoughts and feelings about things and stuff. It has been a wonderful stage to practice writing in the English language (still needs a lot of work) and engaging with hundreds of people here on this site and …

Fixing Helix Colors on a Chromebook Success! I've been using Helix on my Chromebook for almost a year and I was finally able to get editor themes working correctly. Helix has a great selection of themes but I was never able to get them working on this little machine. I had to install from source, which was a little dicey given how small the hard drive is and how low-power mid-range Chromebooks are in general. The …

Larry Hosken: New, , more info
2024-02-22 01:44 I didn't go to school at MIT, but I've played in the MIT Mystery Hunt. So I've sent in some thank-you money, and thus landed on their alumni fundraising mailing list. They just sent me a postcard about their upcoming 24-Hour Challenge fundraiser; the postcard got my attention because it had a crossword, albeit a sparse "vocabulary" crossword emphasizing MIT trivia. I didn't go to school at MIT, but I've …

439. A8003/A886 junction to Otter Ferry and Strachur July 2023 Although this walk was to be almost entirely on roads, the road on the east shore of Loch Fyne are more minor than the busy A83 I had to follow for much of the west shore, so I am hoping today’s walk will be quieter and I can focus more on the scenery and surroundings than the traffic. The downside of being on quieter roads is there tends …
