Just came to the conclusion that my double cerial dispenser is my fav kitchen gadget ....


if you don't have one you should get one only about a tenner ....

I've seen these at the breakfast buffet in hotels. I can see the point there, but why would you want one at home? Won't the cereal just get stale?

Yes then if it got mouldy it could be a cereal killer no doubt. Brian

I stayed at a hotel in Arnside and at breakfast, the guests collected their cereal from dispensers like that, and in addition collected the milk that needed from a refrigerated barrel with a tap, into

1/3 pint glass milk bottles.

Why ?. what's wrong with plain old milk jugs ?.

theoretically, any unused has to be poured away. The Safety Elf rules.

I meant why use diddy little glass milk bottles rather than proper milk jugs that hold enough for one persons or tables use. ?

Last night on BBC2 was episode 3 of 'House of our time' (or something) about the history a house and its occupants since 17xx in Bristol.

One part of the program was filmed in a 'vegan cafe' where luminous green smoothies of god knows what were served in what looked like

1 pound jam jars. Really cool, not.

I built an Internet-enabled cat feeder around one:

Still works perfectly today - 11 years on!

I can see a few ports going spare on that ethernet hub!

Yes, it was overkill a bit... Even the Mk II with a WRT54GL instead was. Nowadays I'd use a Pi or something even smaller but I didn't have the luxury/knowledge back then.

Looking through the selection of 'Plus 80 bronze/silver/gold' PC power supplies on Novatechs website, I see that the more expensive ones specify "uses Japanese capacitors with

105 degrees C rating". So there must be some things that the Chinese don't do all that well.
