Of course I am! I sit here on my big, fat chunk, doing as little physical work as possible. Isn't that why we become developers?

Is it?
Damned, I thought it was for the breathtaking sex-appeal it provides.
Oh, but wait! That could explain a lot...

It worked for me. I married a cheerleader!

Well, is it possible to have the API?

Sorry; it's a strictly single user, privileged interface situation!

Well, like my doctor says (Dr Mouse), everything's hackable ^^

Lucky bastard. I married the only person in the world that believed I knew nothing about. That didn't last long though...

You're measuring basil by volume!
Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried.
Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for?
Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

Hey! I didn't write this!
As it happened, I approximated, and it worked really, really nicely.

or in "pincée" (1/8 tsp!)

We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time
(Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

It really isn't possible to cook in metric.

Do you want to be the one to tell the French that?

I'd be happy to tell them.
I don't think they're good cooks.
I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

you forgot the frogs! and many other food of which you have no idea...otherwise you shouldn't have this opinion!

OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?
Truth,

About 1/3rd of a cup, I think.
Or a handful if you've got large hands.

I love lazy-constructive programmers!
There is a bit different between lazy programmer and lazy-constructive programmer.
First one does not want to do his job. Second one want to do the job:
1) as quick as it's possible,
2) as painless as it's possible,
3) as best as He can do it (never wants to do the things twice!)
I can proudly say: i'm lazy-constructive programmer

I'd say the same for me, except I'm less concerned about "as quick as possible" and more concerned with "don't want to have to fix it - so get it right before it goes out"
And it mostly works: a quick check of my current app:
First released 10th Feb 2014.
15 revisions since
80 modifications
13 internal changes (neither bug fixes or mods, they don't affect use: terminology changes, additional documentation files, reorganised folder structures)
24 bug fixes.
I'm happy with that, though the bug fix count is a bit high (mostly trivial spelling mistakes though)

On the other site...
24 bugs per 80 modifications it's 0.3 bug per modification. I'd like to say: it's acceptable

Well it goes both ways. I once followed an American recipe for pumpkin pie, which called for 1 tablespoon of molasses. I did think that was rather a lot at the time, but I went ahead anyway, and the result, predictably, was completely inedible.
Only later did I discover that a) Our tablespoons are roughly twice as big as American ones, and b) Molasses in America means a sweet syrup, rather similar to our Golden Syrup, not the bitter black stuff we use here as a flavouring for savoury things (usually teaspoons worth, not table spoons).
Try encoding that sort of variation in your cooking program!!

My Terrarium experiment is a failure.
By now, It should have started it's own self-contained weather patterns.
After all this waiting, it's just so anti-climatic...
