Yesterday marked the tenth "birthday" of the iMac! I'm the proud owner of a 24" iMac, and it's by far my favourite gadget. It's a good performer, it looks good, takes up hardly any space on my desk, takes up absolutely no space on the floor next to my desk, it's quiet - and did I mention it looks good?

The only thing I'm missing from my setup now, is an iPhone, and I'll be really happy and content - until Apple releases yet another must-have gadget, that is...

Finally - it's official! Opera Dragonfly is out in an alpha release that looks really good. I've been playing around with it for a while in the internal 9.5 builds, and it's helped me a out a number of times already. More importantly, it's allowed me to debug errors without having to open Firefox with Firebug installed, which is a Good Thing™ in itself.

I haven't blogged in a looong time, and part of the reason is in the previous post I made over a month ago. Since getting the new TV, we've been watching tons of TV-shows and movies, and just finished watching Buffy season 6. The last three or four episodes were fantastic!

Another task that has taken a fair share of my time has been beta-testing Delicious Library 2, as well as translating it to Norwegian. Looks very promising, and has a bunch of cool new features.

Oh, almost forgot the main reason for blogging today, I made a nice wok that was pretty tasty and very simple, so I thought I'd share the "recipe":

What to buy (serves 2):
- 250/300 grams of pork or chicken
- 1 paprika
- 1 small broccoli
- 1 onion
- Teriyaki-sauce
- Noodles (I used pre-cooked cheater's noodles, were tasty enough)

How to make:
- Cut the meat and vegetables into your preferred size chunks.
- Quickly fry the meat in a hot pan with a tablespoon or two of oil.
- Take the meat out, add a bit more oil to the pan, and start frying the vegetables. Put the broccoli in first, they need the most time. Remember to move the broccoli around so it doesn't turn to charcoal.
- Once the broccoli has gotten a couple of minutes alone in the pan, add the onion and paprika, and put the meat back in.
- Turn down the heat to a medium-high temperature (e.g. 8/10 on my stove), and fry the whole mix for 2-4 minutes.
- Now add about 1dl of teriyaki sauce, or to taste.
- At the end, add the pre-cooked (or cheater's) noodles, and as soon as the noodles are warm, you're done.

Pretty simple and cheap dinner for two, and not the least healthy dish you can make.

Marianne and I both enjoy watching TV-shows and movies, so we finally got around to getting a decent setup for watching them:

Did you know that there's a huge difference between different HDMI-cables? Did you also know that if you buy the cheaper cables they have in the stores, the ones that makes the salesman's bonus slightly lower, you will end up with a really crappy image on your TV? Here's a conversation that took place today between myself - who knows very little about the difference between cables, and a salesperson at a local HIFI-store:

Me: I'm looking for an HDMI-cable, nothing fancy or anything, how is that one? (pointing at a 1 meter cable costing 298 NOK).
Salesperson: yeah, you could go for that cable ("you cheapo"), but we also have this one for sale (fetches a different cable). This one is much better, and used to cost 698 NOK but you'll get it for only 498 NOK!
Me: what is the difference between them, and how will I notice the difference on my TV?
Salesperson: well, the biggest difference is that the image will feel more 3-dimensional, compared to if you're using the cheaper cable.

Ok, I've already admitted that I don't know much about these things, but "the image will feel more 3-dimensional"?

Needless to say, I left the store with the cheapest cable, so I guess I'll have to live with a 2D-image on my TV...
