Health : Burnt Toast

Catching this one in the news this morning...

And I already know this... I already know Burnt Toast is a health risk, I remember being told by an Oncologist when I was about 15 that burnt toast was, in his professional opinion, responsible for the spontaneous occurrence of stomach cancer in some of his patients.

I remembered this, I remember when I worked for Boots mentioning this to some folks and their laughing.

I remember telling a house mate at uni and his sceptical look; but then I was rather odd, especially in the final year of uni... I used to cool my toast in the fridge for example (I like cold toast, okay.. nothing too strange about that!).

So, as far as I can remember this isn't news, it was news about twenty three years ago, but since then I've known this, about coffee too... I still drink it, as the oncologist I knew said, it either gets you or it doesn't, don't worry about a slice of toast; worry more about first and second hand smoke, diesel fumes and UV light.

Java Posts...

Well, my recent two posts about writing a game in java have been abject failures, not only have they not garnered any views (16 in total) but they've got me bored with them.... There is a part 3 scheduled for next Monday, but after that I'll not be pushing myself to generate more on that genre.

Instead I've been looking at SDL in my favourite guise C++.

I have used SDL 1.2 before, but this time I'm looking at the new SDL 2.0, as well as the SDL Image extension.

I think combining that with my image processing with CImg may result in a very powerful way of laying out graphics, 2D initially, but we'll see.

In personal news I'm so very busy, and Dude is not well, he has Lung Cancer, so he's not got long with us.
