I hate lazy programmers...

Of course I am! I sit here on my big, fat chunk, doing as little physical work as possible. Isn't that why we become developers? :laugh:

Is it? Damned, I thought it was for the breathtaking sex-appeal it provides. Oh, but wait! That could explain a lot...

I thought so too! :laugh:
My programming get away... The Blog... DirectX for WinRT/C# since 2013! Taking over the world since 1371!

It worked for me. I married a cheerleader! ;P
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well, is it possible to have the API?

Sorry; it's a strictly single user, privileged interface situation! ;)

Lucky bastard. I married the only person in the world that believed I knew nothing about. That didn't last long though...
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:
78.07 ml basil leaves
2.46 ml soya sauce
14.79 ml fish sauce
...I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

You're measuring basil by volume! :confused: Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried. Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for? Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

Hey! I didn't write this! :laugh: As it happened, I approximated, and it worked really, really nicely.

Could have been worse, could have been measured in "cups".

We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time ;) (Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?
Truth, James

About 1/3rd of a cup, I think. Or a handful if you've got large hands.

I'd be happy to tell them. I don't think they're good cooks. I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

I love lazy-constructive programmers! There is a bit different between lazy programmer and lazy-constructive programmer. First one does not want to do his job. Second one want to do the job: 1) as quick as it's possible, 2) as painless as it's possible, 3) as best as He can do it (never wants to do the things twice!) I can proudly say: i'm lazy-constructive programmer ;)
