Problem: Accidentally bought evaporated, rather than condensed, milk today, due to being extremely sick (the allergy problems with Shooby did, as I feared, end up blossoming into a respiratory infection) and not wearing my glasses to the store and so on

Implication: The key lime pie I was in the middle of making was about to become extremely runny

Solution: Pour the eggs, lime juice, and evaporated milk into a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of corn starch. Simmer, stirring constantly.

Result: An even better key lime pie filling than if I'd just done it "correctly" to begin with!

As I recently said in my k5 diary, I'm working on gathering timings for my paper for the IEEE Visualization conference, which is basically a rewrite of the rejected Siggraph paper with a much-improved algorithm...

But the algorithm isn't performing quite as predictably as I thought it would.

I just finished Zork: Grand Inquisitor.

Keep in mind I only started it last night.
