Tilapia

Tilapia is a wonder food! 112g (4 ounces) of it contain 21g protein, 1g fat (most of which is polyunsaturated), selenium, magnesium, vitamin D, taurine, omega-3 acids, and it has benefits ranging from being good for the heart, the brains, the joints, and of course – muscles!! Additionally, it has low mercury, and it is inexpensive – I paid around $2.50 for 4 ounces And ok, I’m not done yet – to top it all off – it is also delicious, even when cooked with the teensiest bit of olive oil, salt and pepper!

I get a good conscience after eating them as a second breakfast or something

Here are some images – the batter, and then the batter starting to cook -

The Y2K38 Problem

Hmm, so it looks like there’s another problem looming for computers in the year 2038. Apparently most of the systems around the world use 32-bit signed integers to store time, which is the number of seconds elapsed since the so-called epoch, i.e. January 1, 1970. It looks like a 32-bit signed integer will run out of capacity on Tuesday, January 19, 2038 (it will reach greater than 2³¹ seconds). So the programmers around the world need to fix this problem. The solutions are available and apparently simple enough. Read this interesting article here.
