Interesting mix of hobby projects, but wasn't
there some thought of generating a bit of revenue
as well at some point?

Never crossed my mind. 2 of the Pi's are giving me the Raspberry

currently,

and this new critter...well I screwed up and ordered it with a nvidia

card, big

mistake. As to the bitmoney, the new one weighs in at 223992.38

BogoMIPS so it

had a chance of making some...Then again I've always sort of considered

myself

to be a nonprofit, which is why I had no qualms about registering a .org domain.

I'm not sure about the rules, if there are any. I know
that Patrick (whom some here know as the crazy sysop - I
have a certain number of crazy friends, some of whom get
me into trouble, some of whom don't) had the domain
panda.org, which he was pressured into relinquishing,
though I think he ended up being compensated some small
amount for it. There are of course many .coms that don't
make a profit (some may not even be set up for the purpose)
and plenty of .orgs that do. And of course there have always
been commercial enterprises that have (generally involuntarily,
I'd think) that make no declared or even real profit and many
nonprofits that manage to do very well for their executives and
for their asset growth and global footprint - Blue Cross (some
parts) and Red Cross for example.

there is no town or village in the US called Bird.

Bird Creek is just a few miles down the road. You've been to the

resurrected

Bird House at Koots. Speaking of down the road...the fishing must be

hot at

Well, there have been Bird something places, such as Bird's
Nest, Birdsboro. and the Bird-in-Hand that some of us have
gone through or near (in my case, near).

the Russian River, the place is jam packed. And the local supply of muktuk took a dive when the whale carcass washed off the mudflat by one of the bridges, very forlorn looking ravens standing around.

Hey, who cleared the buffet table?

That sounds odd if not gross.

That sounds somewhat more normal. I guess one could
make the former recipe and serve it with brown gravy,
causing a cognitive dissonance, especially if one made
the latter recipe and served it as dessert.

I wonder what became of Carolyn Shaw and the WEE Scot
(who was apparently something like 6 1/2 feet tall and
with some girth).

this is nothing to be sneezed at -

Simply Perfect Pate a Choux
categories: dessert, ingredient, nothing to be sneezed at
yield: 24 shells

1 c water
1/2 c unsalted butter
1/2 ts sugar
1/4 ts salt
1 c all purpose flour
4 lg eggs

Preheat oven to 425F.

Combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a
saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the
butter is completely melted and the mixture is
simmering.

Add the flour all at once, and continue to cook,
stirring, 5 min or until the dough gathers itself
into a ball and a film begins to form on the
bottom of the pot.

Transfer to a mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed.

Drop in the eggs, one at a time, while continuing
to beat. Allow each egg to become fully incorporated
before adding the next (about 30 to 60 sec).

Pipe or spoon the dough onto parchment-lined baking
sheets, allowing 3" between puffs.

Bake time can range from 20 to 40 min, depending on
size. Remove from the oven when they are puffed,
golden brown, hollow, dry, and light.
