Food: Thinking about Bosna sausage

There's some fast food hot dog they have in Austria called the bosna, which I had a hankering for the other day. I guess I had a sausage which was similarly spiced and reminded me of this wonderful food. I can't seem to find a recipe on the internet but I remember it having onions, curry (and paprika?) on a long sausage. Yum. The picture is from Salzburg, Austria and is the actual hole in the wall that I often bought from.

I was there in 1990 and I still crave that Bosna...

Thanks for posting a picture of the stand, I couldn't remember the name of it.

I would go back to Salzburg if I was in Europe just for one more of those.

Yeah, I got hooked on these things while stationed in Bavaria in the 80's and now 20 years later I can still remember how great they were. I would love to be able to have one again.

I've also been a huge Bosna fan since the mid-80s.

I know of only one place to get them in the states: Vail Sausage Company in Vail, Colorado. The owner is a chef from Austria!

It's been 28 1/2 years since I had one and I still have a yearning for one. I remember that they were absolutely delicious - THE BOMB !!

Hi,

I've looked for Vail Sausage Co. but does it go by another name and do you remember where in Vail it was located? I was hooked on Bosna when I was in Salzburg in the 1980's.

Thanks so much,

Cherie

Shortest Sudoku solver in Python

Mark Byer's site has some more Sudoku solvers here's a short one in Python that's only 178 bytes long:def r(a):i=a.find('0');~i or exit(a);[m
in[(i-j)%9*(i/9^j/9)*(i/27^j/27|i%9/3^j%9/3)or a[j]for
j in range(81)]or r(a[:i]+m+a[i+1:])for m in'%d'%5**18]
from sys import*;r(argv[1]) On the site is also shown a longer Perl version at 185 bytes:
use integer;sub R{for$i(grep!$A[$_],@x=0..80){%t=map{$_/27-$i/27|$_%9/3-$i%9/3&&$_
/9-$i/9&&($_-$i)%9?0:$A[$_]=>1}@x;R($A[$i]=$_)for grep!$t{$_},1..9;return$A[$i]=0}
die@A}@A=split//,<>;R I think the Python version is slightly easier to understand, although they are both quite cryptic.
I'm not sure why I find these programs fascinating. I think it reminds me that any program can be written in such a way that it's cryptic, even in Python. In addition, the code is small enough that you should be able to figure out how it works, and may learn something the process.

Canon EOS 450D triggered by an Arduino

Image
I was finally able to track down a 2mm stereo plug here in Belo Horizonte (Eletronica Guarani) so I can remotely control my Canon SLR from the Arduino.

It uses two SPDT relay switches, one for the shutter and one for focus.  The way it's setup, there's no way I can cross the wires and hurt my camera, even after a few beers.  In the photo the black wire is hooked to ground and the blue wire to pin 12 on the Arduino (or Seeeduino in my case).  So far I've only used the shutter and have left auto-focus off.
Here's my first attempt of a timelapse movie with this setup:



You'll find the code here. This page helped me figure out to hook-up the plug.

Making the movie is a little tricky on Linux.  First you'll need to installed GraphicsMagick (a faster version of ImageMagick):
sudo aptitude install graphicsmagick
Then you'll need to downloaded and compile from source mpeg2encode to that it can do the conversion to mpeg (this doesn't come included with GraphicsMag…
