Sourdough - keeping the mould out. rozeboosje 2014-01-29 | A very simple way to keep mould out while you're maintaining and using your Sourdough starter...It's halfway through Day 5 of the new starter - it's about 110 hours old now - , and it's dormant at the moment. I'll leave it in peace, and I'll illustrate this using my mature starter as it has built up to the point where I need to use it to bake or discard it. And I'm not discarding a perfectly good starter! :-)
Sourdough Starter, Day 5 - +96 hours. OMG is it dead?!? rozeboosje 2014-01-28 | No, it isn't. When this happens we throw out at least half of the starter and add more food. This time I added some wholegrain rye flour again.At the moment the power struggle between all the micro-organisms remains undecided. If all goes as it should, eventually the yeast/lactobacillus symbiosis will win out over any other critters in there, but right now it's hard work for them. Leave them in peace. They'll be OK. :-)
Sourdough starter - Day 4 - +60 hours rozeboosje 2014-01-27 | The morning of the 4th day - I created this on Friday evening and it's Monday morning now, so this is barely 60 hours old. And it has now definitely started fermenting. The volume has doubled overnight.Obviously this is a great sign but the starter is far from ready for use yet. A mature starter has a pleasant, fruity smell to it. This one still smells mostly yeasty, even musty. Not unpleasantly so, but it's clearly not right yet.I will now keep feeding this regularly with organic white wheat flour. I started this with organic wholegrain rye flour as this is more likely to contain all the yeast and lactobacillus you need for a good starter. But now it has in fact started we don't need to add any more. It'll grow all by itself :-)

Welcoming Willie to Wozebushs Wonderful World rozeboosje 2013-09-19 | Hello William Tapley! Nice of you to stop by. I would have said "hi" to you on the video you made about me, but you have still blocked me, so I can't.This will have to be a poor substitute for same.I would consider it polite to unblock someone if you're talking about them, but that's just me. Don't feel like you're under any pressure to do so. Whatever you do: welcome.I'm afraid you're a bit late to the party. I have lost interest in YouTube. It took me almost two days to even check out your video after two people told me on two separate occasions that you had mentioned me in your video. Too busy with living life in reality these days. All good, too. I've discovered that it's fun to work in the garden and I've just started baking sourdough bread. Very enjoyable passtimes indeed!William Tapley's video in which he mentions me:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKfgumIHREo
Tweedledee-deedledee-dee.... boom-boom-boom... ;-) rozeboosje 2013-08-13 | A bit of fun in (London)Derry. Holidaying in the North of Ireland we decided to visit the Walled City on the 10th of August 2013. As we're just dumb tourists and not from around those parts, we had no idea that this was on the programme...I have to admit that despite the sectarian undertones of the whole event the atmosphere in the place was relaxed and most people seemed to enjoy the event as just a parade.And why the heck not, eh?

god-given moral code is right and just ... because? rozeboosje 2013-07-25 | Can you explain why the morality handed down to us by your "god" is right and just? If not, how do you know it's right and just, other than "because god says so"? Does might make right? If you CAN, why should it need to be handed down to us by a "god" when he have already shown the ability to work it out for ourselves?
Aaaarggh antz in my pantz rozeboosje 2013-07-16 | I decided to plant a hydrangea near "my" bumble bees. As I was digging the hole I started feeling a weird "burning" sensation up my left arm and around my neck.Then I realised I had disturbed an ants' nest. They're bitey little rascals, and they had obviously marched up the spade handle and had gone on the attack.But I can't say I blame them. Wouldn't YOU be peeved if someone destroyed YOUR home?!
Bombus Pascuorum rozeboosje 2013-07-09 | I think I identified the bumble bees that are nesting in my garden. I'm pretty sure now that they're bumble bees, not, as I thought before, ground bees.I think they are Common Carder Bees, a species of bumble bee, Latin name Bombus Pascuorum. Apparently these can be confused for a similar be called the Tree Bumblebee - Bombus Hypnorum, but the latter has a white end to the tail, and as you can see right at the end of the video, the tails of these are black all he way to the end.I put a little sign beside them saying "bumble bees, do not disturb" :-)
Ground bees in my garden rozeboosje 2013-07-07 | We found these when we moved a pile of garden clippings.According to information I found online, "ground bees" are supposed to be solitary, but I can definitely hear quite a distinctive "buzz" coming from underground, as if there's a hive down there.As these seem to be quite peaceful - they never attacked or got angry while we were moving that pile - I see no need to do anything about them. Let them pollinate our garden! It sure explains why our apple tree seems to be particularly heavily laden this year :-)
The wait is over... here are gods answers. rozeboosje 2013-06-22 | Well, no. Not exactly. But allow me to give you a VERY long-winded explanation.... [grin]I keep saying "13.7 billion time/time(s)" until eventually I get it more or less right and I say 13.7 billion YEARS of time. My bad
Those who dont question morality are doomed to subvert it rozeboosje 2013-06-15 | If you can't explain your moral code in human terms it's worthless, and claiming that it came from some "higher authority" isn't going to dig you out of that hole.

The AUDIO, however, I produced as 96khz 32-bit FLAC, and I muxed the two together using MKVToolNix. YouTube was perfectly happy with that. Huzzah!

The Mayan Placebo rozeboosje 2012-12-07 | The final cop-out has been composed. If the 21st comes and goes without the slightest hint of anything significant happening, it'll all be your own fault for not being in tune with the vibrations of the Universe. In the mean time the True Believers will Feel the Love. Or something.The cult I was thinking of may have been, according to DaithiDublin (see comments): "The Eternal Flame cult run by Charles 'Chuck' Brown and his wife Bernie. Chuck was a former nightclub crooner, scrap dealer and Evangelical pastor. In 1960 he claimed that the cells in his body were switching the DNA from death to life. Apparently there were over 200 in the UK & Ireland in the early 90's, and a few thousand around Scotsdale, Arizona with Chuck and Bernie, trying to figure out how to colonise other planets!"
To speak is human, to cause, divine? rozeboosje 2012-12-01 | One objective of philosophy is to identify the baggage we don't realise we are carrying in our language, and to try and remove it from a deeper understanding. The concept of "causation" is deeply rooted in an "intentional stance" view of reality, and it needs to be ditched when thinking about things such as "ontology".If you fail to realise that the common language concept of "cause" is agency based, and you then proceed to work from the premise that "cause and effect" is a fundamental part of reality, then your "proof" for, e.g., the existence of some "god" thing is nothing more than the sort of magic trick in which a magician puts a rabbit into a hat in full view of the audience, and then gets pissed off when nobody is impressed with him pulling it out at the end.If you accept that "agency" must be removed from a philosophical understanding of words such as "cause" and "causation", you have to face the fact that nothing in any "laws of physics" that we have ever invented to formally describe our understanding of how reality works seems to hint at anything akin to an impersonal, non-agency type of "causation". If you wish to insist that it DOES, you will need to explain what part of our "laws of nature" you think represents such an impersonal, non-agency type of "causation", and what, exactly, makes you think that.
