Another one from Captain Foods! Not quite as full bodied as the previous Habanero Heat, but another good sauce
It’s not quite on a par with the habanero heat; not quite punchy enough, but fundamentally another flavoursome sauce that you don’t have to be scared of and can use liberally.
7/10 – Would buy again
I didn’t have very high expectations of this one, but I have to admit that I was really impressed. It’s not complicated, but it’s a tasty, slightly on the sweet side “just ladel it on” sauce. Not particularly hot, but awesome with nachos, prepping up a sandwich, etc.
8/10 – I’ve tried to find this sauce in the UK but I’ve come up blank and that makes me sad.
Got to say I’m very taken by this one. It’s quite hot but very flavoursome. Very savoury, good punch of heat and spice/garlic up front, nice tapered lingering after-burn.
8/10 – Have already bought again.
Had high hopes for this one, but it underwhelmed. Heat was OK – robust upfront, prolonged after-burn, but I think it’s the spicing on this one that I’m not a fan of; overall I just found the flavour a but muddily overwhelming. It didn’t really seem to compliment anything I tried it with, just slapped it around and overpowered it.
4/10 – wouldn’t avoid but don’t plan to buy again.

In an ongoing crusade to make better (more organised) use of my desktop, I’m looking into apps & shortcuts to speed up & automate tasks relating to window movement, placement, etc.
Some very useful keyboard shortcuts:
Today I found myself needing to perform a fresh Windows 7 installation on a newly build box using a GA-F2A88XN-WIFI. Upon doing the build I realised that I couldn’t just slip a spare PATA DVD-ROM drive into the case in order to perform the OS install as the motherboard only supports SATA. The logical choice seemed to be to use an external USB connected DVD-ROM drive, however during the first stages of the OS installation, a dialog popped up saying that there was a driver missing and that I should install it now. As the motherboard manual had said this would be the case, I pointed the installer at the directory suggested by the manual … only to find that the dialog remained stubbornly present.
As the manual tells you to put the BIOS into RAID mode (even if you’re not using RAID), I went through several iterations of changing BIOS and trying different driver files, including downloading fresh ones from Gigabyte’s website.
Finally turning to Google, a Tom’s Hardware post pointed to the fact that my troubles were in fact related to the fact that I was using a USB-based DVD-ROM drive. As I didn’t have a spare SATA DVD-ROM lying around which I could throw in the machine, I turned to a very helpful post which details how to use Serva to install Windows via the network. All I needed to do was drop the RealTek network drivers (rt64win7.cat, rt64win7.inf, rt64win7.sys) into the $OEM$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory (as detailed in Serva’s manual) and the rest was very straight forward.
I spent a little while today trying to work out why the emulated SD card wasn’t mounting in my virtual android device. I’d used AVD Manager to configure a 100MB SD card for one of my AVDs and the file was created on the host system, but having started the AVD up the card wasn’t mounting.
A bit of googling finally took me here. Sure enough, when I opened by config.ini, the sdCard setting was configured to “no”.
Changing that to “yes” and re-starting the AVD had the desired effect.
I used to use ScmBug in order to provide some integration between Subversion and Mantis, however upon finally getting Subversion upgraded to 1.7, I found that the ScmBug’s commit hook is failing saying that it doesn’t recognise the version of Subversion being used. Seems that ScmBug’s not really being developed any more and so this pushed me to looking at Mantis’ Source Integration plugin, introduced in Mantis 1.2. Having native support for VCS integration within Mantis is definitely a step in the right direction, however it’s missing some of the features that have been useful in ScmBug, namely the pre-commit checks to verify details relating the the tickets referenced in the commit comment. In order to address this I’ve forked the Source Integration plugin and added various checks.
There’s not much exciting here right now – it’s basically just a list of my hobby/personal interest software projects.
