How Hillary Clinton's State Department sold fracking to the world. Couple months old but still very important, especially if she runs for president.     #>

If you find yourself installing Windows software and it fails with a pop-up box saying "Object exists" do yourself a favor and uninstall Windows Security Update KB2918614. I have no idea why but as soon as you remove that update software will begin installing again just fine. This is partly a post to let you know, and partly a post for me for when this happens again (happened on a couple different computers so far...)     #>

Securing Foscam IP camera access over SSL with Apache reverse proxying. What a pain in the ass just to get some basic security on an IP camera. All they need to do is support self-signed SSL certificates in the camera but the way they build the binary blob for firmware means other people can't just add it in. Also note this solution means no audio and I'm unclear on how it deals with the direction controls for the pan and zoom cameras.     #>

Homemade Quest Bars. Ohhh. Quest bars have become a staple for me, making my own could be a great idea.     #>

A’salted, Olive Garden has secret breadstick laws, sauce logic, and salt bans revealed only in turnaround reports—and to diners who eat there 87 times in 21 days. Interesting read.     #>

I found the Holy Grail of backups. A little bombastic on the title but Attic looks like a nice solution. Since it's just Python I'm thinking it should install under Cygwin on Windows maybe? Also nice to have a solid encrypted backup for virtual machines online, if you have two that you aren't using full disk space with you could back them up from one to the other...     #>

Breakthrough Photography’s X-Series Filters are Ultra-Thin, Easy to Remove, and Affordable. Just pledged, having a light and thing 6x ND will be awesome.     #>

Classic Belgian Waffles. Made these last weekend, they are a bit more work than normal waffles but they definitely had that light and fluffy Belgian waffle texture. The batter was also much soupier than I would have expected but it all worked out.     #>
