An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently.

Java is a popular Internet language, C++ used to be the most common OOP language, and Object Pascal is the language Borland uses inside Delphi. Although this is not immediately evident, these three languages have many things in common. The aim of this presentation is to delve into technical aspects of the three languages, comparing them. I'm not trying to assess which is the best language, because this largely depends on what you want to use it for.
Talking chicken fried steaks is like talking about somebody's mother - everybody has the best. It's not a difficult recipe, really, just tenderized steak, breaded and fried. But everyone has chicken fried secrets. Is the breading cracker crumbs or flour? Brown or cream gravy? Does the gravy go under the steak or on top? The history of chicken fries is tough to find, too. For centuries, humanity has breaded and fried some foods, such as fish. But just when steak went chicken fried is difficult to determine. Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House books, writes about breaded and fried "salt pork" in the 1860s on the Western frontier.
