MemeCode: Undocumented command line parameters for WinZip32.exe. God only knows how old this document is; it references cc:Mail. But this works, in my testing, on WinZip 9.0. Note that Corel would like to get you to upgrade to the Pro version of WinZip 10 or later so that you can download an addin that accomplishes much the same thing.

MIT: Science Trivia Challenge. Would that I were younger I’d feel a little odd now fielding a trivia team, even if it was an “open division.”

Easter feaster

Relatively light Easter meals yesterday. It was just the family at home, so we took it easy. We went to the early service at Old South, came back, and had fried eggs with prosciutto and hot cross buns for a late breakfast. Then I made my wasabi deviled eggs (recipe below) and White Lily biscuits, Lisa prepared some asparagus, and together Lisa and I baked a ham. But really: that, plus a chocolate cake that was lying around, plus Easter marshmallows (not Peeps) and some pretty spectacular sauvignon blanc: who needed anything else?

The wasabi deviled eggs, by the way, are dead easy. I use the recipe for deviled eggs from the late 1990s edition of The Joy of Cooking, scaling it up for a dozen eggs, then add two tablespoons of dry wasabi powder that have been mixed with two tablespoons water. That, plus adjusting the other spices to taste, is really it. Sometimes I get aggressive and add more wasabi, but at the proportions above it’s just about right. I got the idea one year when I was trying to replicate my dad’s eggs, which use horseradish, but the only thing I could find at the store was wasabi.
