My new kitchen

New house, new kitchen.

Bleeding nightmare sorting out where to put everything, just like
sorting out a new workshop, is it not?

The first Spag Bol was OK, but I must put a LCD monitor in so I can
see the recipies

Should the gas controls for the hobs be log or lin?

Did you know that's a traditional physics 'stumper'? Simple gas taps,
with a rectangular port that opens progressively as you turn the knob,
have a horribly non-linear volume/angle characteristic (viscosity,
turbulence, inherent perversity etc.) and it's exceedingly difficult to
overcome it.

Hi John,

Nope, didnt know that.
Probably have to use semi-log spaghetii from now.

But I did meet the lady ( at The Barbican inventors conf, couple of
years ago) who invented the non drip TeaPot, who announced the design
the day after a Famous University Profeesor announced, on analogue
radio, that it was impossible to design a non drip Tea Pot

Never say Impossible

Arthur C Clarke wrote (something like): If an elderly scientist says
something is possible, he/she is almost certainly right. If he/she says
it isn't possible, he or she is almost certainly wrong.

This doesn't necessarily apply to mathematicians, of course.

Well, if you want to learn about overcoming inherent perversity etc,
you've "come" to the "Right Place. ;-)"

I have always found that visual monitoring of the flame and its effects on
the food with appropriate adjustment works quite well.

Right. An excellent way to test this with a man-in-the-loop simulation

is to light a fire under your ass with the control in your hand. It's
amazing how rapidly the brain can adapt to linear, log or even reversed
controls.
