I ran across this and can see it being pretty handy, though it will require some modification to work properly in my environment.  It will need to be narrower, and I think I would probably configure it facing out from the fridge as it would then be open to my counter and a great spice rack while working in the kitchen.

Evaporated Milk From Powdered Milk

Posted April 9, 2013 By Landis V

I keep some powdered milk on hand as a “just in case”.  The other day I was looking at a recipe which called for evaporated milk, which I knew I didn’t have on hand.  I assumed there had to be a way to substitute, so I did a little looking and sure enough there was.  As always everyone seems to have a different recipe, but it looks like a combination of 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups water with 1 cup powdered milk and 1 to 2 tbsp of butter or vegetable oil generally does the trick.

T1/ESF Alarm Conditions

It always seems to be tough to find the T1 alarm documentation I’m looking for when I need it.  This page provides a nice little graphic that shows what alarms are present and in which direction the alarm indications are being sent (RAI/yellow alarm and AIS/blue alarm).

WikiStart – Tiny Tiny RSS

I was reminded this morning, while reading some of James Altucher‘s very interesting posts and wanting to add to my subscription list, that I’m eventually going to need to do something to replace Google Reader as my feed reader.  This might be an interesting way to do so.  The Android client is a plus.  I’ll have to add it to my project list.

Edit 6/18/13: Also ran across https://www.commafeed.com/welcome today, which does not look bad, but I still have some inclination towards tt-rss at this time.

Better automation is always good.

Lock a computer through an RDP session

Posted March 3, 2013 By Landis V

Not something I need to do a heck of a lot (in fact, this is probably the first time I’ve needed to in ten years), but good information to have on file for when I need it again:
