So, we’ve got the product far along enough to release for alpha testing now. We’re going to send out emails to people who might be interested in trying it – let me know if I miss you out! To use it you need to be a) using Firefox b) tolerant of intermittent service and random data loss c) 1337.
I won’t go into it in any detail as to what it does here, but suffice it to say that it has several buttons, two (2) scrollbars and a stealth mode. At the moment it’s pretty feature sparse, but quite fun to use and maybe even useful every once in a while.
New foods:
- Oreos – “milk’s favorite biscuit”. In general, American biscuits and cookies are a bit crap; hard, brittle and crumbly. Oreos’ key differentiator is they happen to, heck – they are DESIGNED TO, complement milk dipping. Creamy.
- Also, been eating loads of cheese. We’ve learnt that staying late at the secret program events means we get to leave with the cheese. Lots of Brie, Stilton, Emmental and smoked cheddar. As a food; not old, not new, but arguably borrowed and blue.
- French toast. Similar to the eggy bread that mummy used to make when I had the collywobbles. The American version differs in that you toast the toast, butter the toast, fry them in butter then serve it with maple syrup. And butter, obviously.
