Korean Barbeque

I quite enjoyed the Korean Barbeque on Sunday. Min Jung was in visiting from San Fransisco, and she was nice enough to cook this great meal for us.

The core element of the barbeque was the barbequed beef — sliced similarly as to cheesesteak-beef. She made both spiced and unspiced varieties, for the adventurous and non-adventurous, respectively. I tried both, and actually quite enjoyed the spiced version.

There were also these rice-circle bits. It was a disc about the size of half-dollar made up of rice, chopped carrots, and scrambled egg (I think). I wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but it was surprisingly good (I think I had two or three). Still, I had to wonder what they might be like with avocado — the universal condiment, as far as I’m concerned ;).

Ed k brought along some “Mexican Chocolate Pate”. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it was like a half-molten chopped-pecan filled brownie, but with more sugar ;). I think I could almost feel the sugar granules with my tongue as I savored each bite.

It was hella-chocolatey (just how I like it) and I’m having trouble deciding whether Mexican Chocolate Pate or Chocolate Decadence is my favorite chocolate-based dessert.

Spare video card?

Would anyone happen to have a spare video card that he or she could sell to me? I’m still pondering whether I may be able to complete my PC-upgrade project, and a video card is one of the few remaining pieces.

I’ve already bought the RAM (1 GB PC2700), though it arrived on the day I was laid-off ;). And, the motherboard/chip combo is just $100, which I can probably scrounge together.

So, that leaves the case and video card. I doubt that anyone has a spare ATX case, but I figured I’d ask about the video card. Something made within the last couple years would be great (TNT2 and forward).

Temporary Work

At the suggestion of Bryan, I asked Ed k whether he needed any people. And, sure enough, he did.

So, I’m now doing what they call “coding”, but it’s more like document tokenization. I work through a stack of documents and enter their properties (such as date and document type) into a database. It’s not web development, but it does include a paycheck ;).
