So the key to success with fried rice is to make sure your rice pretty dry before you fry it. Soak it then steam it (or boil it) then dry it a little in a warm pan, turning frequently so that it ends up moist, not damp, and all excess water is steamed off. Then fry it in the wok with a little oil, turning frequently, veg, ginger, Chinese 5 spices &c. I then made a well at the bottom of the wok and added some eggs and basically scrambled them there; mixing in the rice when they were half runny, half cooked, to make egg fried rice. Fry up some diced meat (chicken / pork / whatever) in another pan and add.
Om nom nom!

If you are looking for private French lessons in Cambridge, you should contact Audrey via her web site
Following on from my earlier log about the micro-site I made for a friend, I made another one for her; this time focused on French Lessons in Cambridge as the keywords of choice.
Google and Yahoo! were happy with the sites, but Bing was not. They appear to have disappeared off Bing’s indexes completely, but this blog gets ranked highly on Bing for some reason. Let’s see if that continues.

A while ago I migrated from MT to WordPress. This has meant lots of 404 errors as links / bookmarks to the old MT pages didn’t get redirected to their new WP equivalent. My bad. I should have sorted this out at the time I migrated. Better late than never. Here’s what I’ve done in my lighttpd config:
1. Ensure the mod_redirect module is enabled
2. Added this to the site’s config:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "example.com {
url.redirect =
( "/mt/" => "http://example.com/blog/",
"atom.xml" => "http://example.com/blog/feed",
"rss.xml" => "http://example.com/blog/feed",
"^/blog/.+/(.+).html" => "http://example.com/blog/$1"
)
}
