Quitting Caffeine 9 years ago

I've been out out caffeine since January because I did something similar (and got similar withdrawal symptoms): I started by mixing regular coffee beans with decaf ones. First two weeks I used a 25/75% decaf to regular mix, next two weeks 50/50%, then 75%/25%, etc.

The key for my was finding good quality (and expensive) decaf coffe beans. After triying differente brands I settled with Lavazza.

OpenImageIO 10 years ago

From the homepage:

OpenImageIO is a library for reading and writing images, and a bunch of related classes, utilities, and applications. There is a particular emphasis on formats and functionality used in professional, large-scale animation and visual effects work for film. OpenImageIO is used extensively in animation and VFX studios all over the world, and is also incorporated into several commercial products.

Im been doing this but skipping dinner instead of breakfast. I don't eat anything after 14 p.m until next morning around 6 a.m.

Few first days was hard, lots of cravings, but after a week/week and a half I get used to it.

I feel more healthy (yeah, I know, I know...) than ever. And I'm losing weight at a steady pace (without the usual hights/lows, etc.

I used to have one of those, but a few months ago I switched to the pressure cooker method (electric one, the [Instan Pot][1]):

  - cook the eggs 6 minutes on low pressure.
  - cool down (10 minutes).
  - shock the eggs with iced water.
I know what the article says but in my experience pressure cooked eggs are much, much easy to peel.
