General Mills Catalina Deal: $9.50 Proft on 78 Grocery Items
2009-10-24 06:36:00 I made a $9.50 profit buying 78 grocery items by taking advantage of little known tricks to the Catalina deals run at Jewel-Osco. The tricks include maximizing the spread between the item's pre-card price and the sale price, as well as using as many coupons as possible.
A POVRAy Modeler - Some Progress
2009-10-05 13:19:00 So I'm disappointed at the sorry state of modelers for POVRay on the Linux desktop. And thinking I can do something about it. I don't want to get any hopes up, so this is not a promise or guarantee that I'll complete a release-worthy program. But at least I am seeing if I have enough skill points on my character sheet to create a GPL-licensed POVRay SDL (Scene Description Language) parser, editor, and modeler in Python. My target language has a very C-like syntax. Not very flavorful, but robust and clear. I state again, that my program will NOT need to "understand" or execute POVRay. Instead of wire-frames, I'll be calling POVRay itself for the preview/editing camera views. So my problem is reduced to one of simple semantics. See a brace? That's a child of the previous item. See a hash? That's a directive. And so on. As long as it's digested into blobs that will show up in the tree doohicky and you could add another blob by clicking a button, I will declare victory. I coul...
Let Me Get This Straight - There Are Now NO POVRay Modelers For Linux?
2009-09-30 14:38:00 NONE? Zero, zip, swabbo, nothing? Empty, the opposite of full? Because there must be a thousand POVRay front-ends out there that I can find at the end of a Google search, and every last one of them has eliminated itself in some way or another. Being mesh-only modelers - Like Wings 3D. It exports to POVRay. Great! But it does that as all mesh2 objects, even a simple sphere. Look, if I want mesh, I'll use Blender. POVRay is for CSG. Being Windows only - like Bishop3D. How many POVRay modelers does the Windows platform need, anyway? One billion, ten billion, what? As I understand it, Windows users would rather run something like Bryce anyway. Being proprietary and commercial - CYCAS just loves cudly ol' Linux. Unfortunately, these people think they can make money off of a POVRay front-end. Far be it from me to disturb that fantasy. Not born yet - Y.A.P.R.M. - Yet Another PovRay Modeller is porting a Linux version. I tried the alpha. Thanks, it ran, and I got a shiny, beautiful int...
Send Warm Coats to Hell - I've Switched to Ubuntu
2009-09-24 21:53:00 In my last post, I mentioned that I hadn't gotten around to blogging on my birthday. There's a reason for this. Grab some coffee for a long yarn. See, I'd gotten a new box, and I was so determined to wait for the 13.0 release of Slackware, that I was content to twiddle with Windows while I waited. Slackware hit final, and I rejoiced. And I actually got Slackware 13.0 installed and running like a top on the new box. But I was still running my old machine for daily use. The thing with Slackware is, it takes me a month or so to set up before I'm ready to move in. All that geeking around takes time, you know. This release saw vast changes to Slackware - the package format changed. This meant even fewer packages would be available then. If I wanted anything not included in the 3 Slackware disks (the other three are source code), I'd have to compile it myself. After installing the libraries and dependencies, of course, which I would also compile myself. Dropline, which I praised ...

Maggie's Farm - A Follow-Up
2009-09-16 17:23:00 It isn't my purpose to go on arguing this point. Like every point I try to make on this blog, eventually you've stated every argument you have and you just have to conclude with, "I guess either you get it, or you don't." But quite a few readers have responded with dismay when I submitted my letter of resignation from the Fight for Technology Freedom in America. "The troops need you.", they say, or "Don't give up, we're winning!" Things along those lines. But I'm looking at the big picture. Let's just forget about what operating system people run for a minute. Let's look at some other fronts in the United States. For instance, Michael Moore is getting discouraged, too. And all he's doing is trying to point out fundamental flaws in US economy, politics, and culture. Flaws that the citizens of every other country tell us and tell us and tell us that we have, and nobody listens. This story at the Huff has Michael Moore saying such things as: "I've done this for 20 years....

Judge says, "You should have sued the General Assembly"
2009-09-09 23:30:00 Judge Peter Flynn, of the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, has issued a ruling in my Driver's Education Fee lawsuit. That's the case in which I challenged, in behalf of my daughter, Dawn, the $350 fee that Buffalo Grove High School and School District 214 charges for its Driver's Education Behind-the-Wheel class. (The classroom portion of Driver's Ed is free.) Dawn and I challenged the amount of the fee because the $350 charge is used mostly to cover the salary and benefits of Driver's Ed teachers. Article X, Section 1 of the Illinois Constitution, says, in pertinent part: "Education in public schools through the secondary level shall be free." The Illinois Supreme Court, in E. L. Segar...

General Mills Catalina at Jewel -- There Is an Overlap
2009-09-08 21:12:00 Two mildly exciting pieces of news about the "spend $20, get $5" Catalina deal running on certain General Mills products at Jewel-Osco right now: 1. There is some other Catalina overlapping it, because in addition to my $5 coupon, I got two $1 coupons today (all good on anything you want to use it on). I don't know what triggered it, but my purchase consisted of Progresso soup, Grands and Green Giant boxed vegetables. 2. There are $1/1 Pillsbury rolls coupons on some cans of Progresso soup, which make the Grands only 25 cents each. I found just one can today with the coupon, but then I also noticed I had one sitting in my coupon file from the last...

I'm Tired of Shopping But the Catalina Deals Keep Coming! General Mill
2009-09-02 22:32:00 At this point I feel like begging Jewel-Osco and the Catalina Marketing company for a break.

Maggie's Farm
2009-09-01 21:24:00 As they say in Starcraft, "Upgrade complete!" I have finished (mostly!) the site re-design and overhaul. The only exception is a few straggler pages like the ones I posted Flash games on, but those are getting collated into the new 'Playground' section anyway. Also the portfolio is remaining as-is for now - it's intended to be different from the rest of the site anyway. There will be small tweaks for a few tiny issues, but generally this set-up works across platforms, conforms to standards better, and won't draw nearly as much flaming from the 4chan set. The last style was a hipster joke, my way of thumbing my nose at all things technology in one stroke. That was fun, but this style looks much more professional. That reflects the fact that online freelancing has become a full-fledged career for me, rather than just a profitable side hobby.

Pero eso sucede con más frecuencia después de las elecciones, después de que los rufianes de turno se aseguran el puesto. Es así que, como no se quiso reconocer que el país entraba en recesión, lo ocultaron todo a base de mentiras y dinero de las reservas, ¿pero que ocurre cuando esas reservas se agotan?, ¿de donde van a sacar dinero?, ¿de su maquina de imprimir billetes?, no, del bolsillo de la gente trabajadora. Entonces a alguien se le ocurrió la estúpida magnífica idea de cobrar otro impuesto más a los artículos electronicos importados (o sea, casi todos), por consideerarlos de lujo. ¿Pero que pasa cuando uno de esos artículos, que supera en “lujo” a otros, queda fuera de esa lista?, ahi entonces se demoronan todos los argumentos del gobierno, ahi es donde salta la ficha, y la gente dice: ¿por qué consideran a mi celular...

General Mills (GIS): Tasty selection
2009-07-31 14:00:00 "Few investments have a proven track record of defying a sinking economy and market, but General Mills (NYSE: GIS) is among them," says Martin Weiss in his Safe Money Report."You probably have some of General Mills’ products in your pantry or freezer. The Minneapolis-based food firm makes everything from Cheerios and Chex cereals to Fruit Roll-Ups, Bisquick pancake mix, and Haagen-Dazs ice cream. "This broad consumer product line has helped it deliver solid single-digit earnings growth not only in good times, but also the worst quarters of the recession. Now, in its fiscal fourth quarter ended May 31, General Mills knocked the cover off the ball. "Its profit shot up 94%, while earnings excluding non-recurring items topped analyst estimates by a nickel per share. General Mills also hiked its full-year 2010 outlook, citing a widening out in profit margins. "Most important for conservative investors: General Mills’...
