Though it is fairly easy to cut up a chicken raw, but even easier to do when cooked. 1. Lay hen down so backbone is on top. 2. With meat scissors or a good sharp knife, cut  close to the backbone to remove it. (takes two cuts.) 3. Discard backbone. (good for making broth) 4. Optional: Some people also cut off the extended wing tips for the soup pot. Not much meat there any way. 5. Open the chicken a little wider. 6. Cut into the cartilage on the other side so the chicken can spread out further. 7. Turn the chicken over. 8. Cuff the wings behind the body. 9. Cook roast or whatever.

You may want to surf internet a bit more carefully. That is you do not want the sites you go to to know where you are surfing from.   Here is one way to achieve that, You will need to use a program called SSH and you will need a shell account on a server no where you are. Copied a short piece of code to  test what ipaddress we were surfing from on the local server. Getmyip.php <?php header(“Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate”); header(“Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT”); header(“Content-Type:text/javascript;charset=utf-8″); if (!empty($_GET)) { // lecture du GET et execution des tâches } exit(“alert(‘Your ip address is: “.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].”‘);”); ?> After installing that file on the server where it would be easily accessible, I tested it out. That was the correct ipaddress so what’s next? We need to get access to the shell account we want to use via ssh. So we will for deminstrations purposes will just use te server oesrvr1. $ ssh -D localhost:999...

Was thinking about circuits to improve the energy received from an antenna when I though about an Idea or two. Update on results coming. Instead of using the full wave rectifier or the special engergy circcuit,  lets use just a simple voltage doubler circuit we will use a special modified circuit to do voltage doubling. The traditional rectifier used in essense 4 diodes. To make a voltage double you will need to replace two fo the diodes with electrolytic capacitors. To make our circuit even more intersting, we will be using what is known aas a step up transformer to see what happens. A voltage meter will be added to the dc side to see what results we might get.Since the incoming signal is ac, the transformer should work fine within limitation. If you wer using incoming dc voltage, this circuit definately would not work. The Transformer might also help boots the voltage, but there might possibly be a power loss. One other possible modification would be to add a tuning c...

A while back I had developed a way to download weather maps and then convert them to ascii for use on text only terminal or character lcd’s Made a modification or two in some of the code. As you remember we modified the crontab file so the system would download radar images once a minute. Crontab: Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron. # # Each task to run has to be defined through a single line # indicating with different fields when the task will be run # and what command to run for the task # # To define the time you can provide concrete values for # minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon), # and day of week (dow) or use ‘*’ in these fields (for ‘any’).# # Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron’s system # daemon’s notion of time and timezones. # # Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through # email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected). # # For example, you can run a backup of al...

According to WSJ: “The pay-TV industry lost about 400,000 subscribers in the second quarter, the latest sign that cord-cutting may be under way.” Maybe? it is underway. But what worries me is that people are not really cutting the cord completely. They are just replacing it with another cable via the internet.  What is really gained? Must of connected an lm35de wrong it smoked real bad. ———————————————————————————————- You might already have access to the program you need: $sudo apt-cache search progname | grep detailof progname ———————————————————————————————- Extract animated gif convert p5.gif preggo%05d.jpg Create animated gif $ convert preggo%05d.jpg p6.gif ———————————————————————————————- Ubuntu’s own server seem to have dropped the ball on security. Apparently, Apple servers did so also. Why get an rf modulator, when you can use an old vcr. Dear vendors: if you have to give an email address to get an item, it is NOT FREE.  ——————————————————...

Building a stanalone arduino is like being a shadetree mechanic, but wihtout all the grease.  If you have the original Arduino board with the removable dip Atmega328 chip you can very easily create your own standalone Arduino after programming the atmega chip while socked on the board.   In this case, I purchased a single atmega328 chuip added a 16 mhz resnator and a 10k resistor to make the basic circuit. Using a crystal and two capacitors is more accurate especially for communication circuits. You can get prettier schmatics on line. With the aruino chip removed, you can even program it from the standalone circuit.    http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard   has more information about setting up a standalone arduino.Simple blinky routine. <code> /* Blink Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.This example code is in the public domain. */// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards. // give it a n...

Some thin client solutions verbage about the product. Thin client solutions acually have two parts. You have the server that does all the heavy lifting,.then you have the workstations for users commonly known as thin clients.  One of the best ways to cut infrastucture costs is at the user’s desktop. Here is a collection of thin client solutions you can try to achieve that goal.  Two of them are made especially for cloning machines and at least one is just the client side. All of these soultions should be free or have free versions in addtion to the commercial versions!!!Note: There are a lot more solutions than this, but these are the ones Ihave seen. Open thin client. OpenThinClient is a   Free Open Source ThinClient Solution   consisting of a Linux based operating system along with a comprehensive Java based management GUI and server component. It is intended for environments where a medium to large number of Thin Clients must be supported...
