Attempt number 3 at making bread, I was much closer to the recipe this time. I
will be able to tell in the morning. I wanted to make buns this time, but I
chickened out. I looked at the size of the dough ball and it looked like it
would surely burn.
The rest of the weekend I spent drinking, which is only interesting if you were
both there and drunk.
It

On a 'high speed train' which means it is a directish train that barely stops.
The wifi is running through the GSM network which in Scotland means it is
really spotty. Of course it is unsecured with a captive portal. It is
surprising that there aren't more terrible people around. It would be pretty
easy to run your own bridging access point.
I saw an article this week that claimed something along the lines of "50% of
mobile traffic is facebook". That makes sense, if most of the traffic is just a
few sites (it is) and those sites have strong protections like certificate
pinning, then it doesn't really matter if on hop 1 all of your traffic is
exposed.
It doesn't stop people fucking with you, but the apps should offer some
protection.

Today was insanity with a lab going haywire and then revisions on a paper. I am
heading south tomorrow which means pictures of trains and complaining about
trains.

Making bread seems important.
I asked my father how I should start, how I should approach making bread for
the first time. He told me just to follow the recipe on the packet of flour.
Doing so seems to have worked out okay.
Due to a misunderstanding about yeast I ended up making two loafs.
