Ingredients:

• 450g Linguine
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced, or more to taste
• olive oil 1/2 glass
• 2 – 3 small hot red chili peppers or dried red peppers
• Grated Parmigiano
• 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped (optional)

Recipe:

• Cook the spaghetti in abundant salt water following manufacturer’s instructions, tasting for readiness from time to time. While the pasta is cooking, pour the olive oil in a skillet and add the garlic and red pepper.
• Turn the heat to medium. Sauté the garlic briefly, but turn heat off before the garlic could begin coloring.
• When pasta is al dente (firm but not too soft or overcooked), drain and transfer to a bowl.
  Top with the oil-garlic mixture.
• Spread the chopped parsley on top (if desired). Toss thoroughly and serve at once.

Do not overcook or burn the garlic! Browned garlic is considered a big mistake in Italian cooking. Use fresh hot peppers when available and slice them before adding them to the skillet. If fresh red peppers are unavailable, use whole hot dry red peppers, chopped coarsely, or a generous quantity of hot crushed red pepper.

If you like a stronger taste, add some anchovies to the sauce.

Two days ago, I tried to update my installation of WordPress but it all collapsed into a nightmare. Cue: upgrade hell.

I downloaded 1.5-Strayhorn to upgrade my slightly modified 1.2.2 install (Kubrick, plus one or two plugins). I was looking forward to using some of the new features.

Basically, the admin screen broke. One of the links (‘manage’) refused to work, resulting in a 404 error. I plastered the WordPress forum with messages but no sensible responses. I find it hard to believe I’m the only one with the issue.

The whole incident brings back shades of the pre-1.0 versions which flat out refused to work on IIS.

Look like the How-To and Troubleshooting forum is being filled with people annoyed at this latest release: wordpress.org/support/forum.php?id=3

Ok, slowly but not-so-surely getting this. Although whoever named this “ez” and wrote that there’s no need for HTML or programming was smoking crack.

From O’Reilly’s Windows XP Hacks.

Longtime PC users and former Mac users alike are often shocked when they realize that there’s no easy, built-in option to print a list of files in a folder. This hack creates a context-menu right-click option to create such a list, which you can then edit, copy, paste, and—most usefully—print.

How many times have you been browsing through directories in Windows Explorer and wished you could generate a text file or printout listing the files and folders? It seems like such a simple request that it’s amazing the option isn’t available. You don’t believe me? Right-click on a folder and see for yourself if there is an option to list or print the structure. There isn’t, but there is a workaround that doesn’t require any third-party software. Here’s how to create a context menu item that, when clicked, generates a printable (and editable) text-file listing of the selected directory.
