Raspberry Vignette is the name for this fruity essence she likes to spritz into a jam-spread. She might have a recipe filed away somewhere in her binders if you'd like her to fish it out.

Oh, this does sound so interesting, dear Mr. Hucker. As our beloved Sister Joanna has noted, I must say that I have never heard of this "raspberry vignette" before, either. If your dear wife would not mind searching through her stack of binders, I am sure that this would be most appreciatively received by the Ladies of .

Naturally, I would not wish to put your wife to any bother, so I did look online for this; but, all I could find was something about "stack overflow" (whatever that is.) This article has a bit about it:

"How to get rid of vignetting in Raspberry-Pi camera pictures"

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...amera-pictures

Somehow or another, I don't think that that is quite what your good wife has in her binders, though. I do thank you, so much, for kindly looking into this for us.

How would anyone use vignettes in their salads? Do you apply them to a picture of a salad?

Thank you Sister! I didn't know that Raspberry PI now had a camera module - although it does not surprise me that it has a vignette problem. It is such a cute tiny computer, though, I use it as my travel laptop.

Now, all this unrelated salad talk made me hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to make myself a salad with cherry tomatoes and walnuts. Maybe raspberry vinaigrette dressing? I have no idea what made me think of it.

The Godless British - particularly the northerners - make some strange concoction called raspberry vinegar, which is basically what it sounds like: raspberries, white vinegar and sugar. They pour it over ice-cream and Yorkshire puddings (though not at the same time) and it accounts for the state of the nation's teeth.

My husband has just commented that although Sisters Isabella and Basilissa may well be correct, up to a point, he has only come across the word vignette in the context of a windshield sticker required in certain backward European countries, as an indication that the driver has paid the road tolls.

It is rare that an introductory thread inspires such an interesting* discussion.


(* for some value of "interesting" with which many of us had previously been unfamiliar)

I have some personal favorite vinaigrettes from the Bible I would like to share with you sometime.

Indeed, Sister.

Oh, my! The things that we learn here on are very interesting, indeed, dear Sister Joanna. And, I do thank your lovely husband for providing us with this tidbit of timeless trivia.

Now, then, one wonders if these stickers are meant to be placed only on the windshield of the car. I do see where someone has felt they are better displayed on the car door, as you shall see below.

My deep apologies, ma'am, my vinaigrette consists little more than a fizzy mix of vinegar and baking soda.


Proverbs 25:20

As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.




This beautiful verse inspired me to play Yes, He Touched Me on the guitarat a children's cancer ward.

I spoke directly with Sue about it... she said her raspberry vignette was not a spray, but a spread, the vignette being the presentation. Her jam is delicious, I love spreading a little on my tongue in the morning when she's not looking. Being of the entrepreneurial mind, I advised wise theonomics in prospect of capitalizing on her jam. I'm thinking of calling it, I Can't Believe It's Huckers Not Smucker's. Please don't spread it around, it's our secret.

we use it here as a salad dressing instead of ranch or thousand island , it's usually a woman's preference

As far as the Raspberry pi it's had a camera since Model 0, but it's has better out put with Model B or higher they just realised a new pi That is a bit faster.


I love building on them. I'm about to make a new OS a Linux/Windows hybrid that run programs for both without downloading an app to bridge the gap (like wine)

That's vinaigrette. Not vignette.

Well, I'm not enough computer smart to do anything ambitious with mine, but - it's more portable than my laptop, so my laptop is my desktop, and Raspberry is my laptop.

That actually sounds interesting - so basically, you want to create a Linux version which can run .exe files? But, won't that open the doors to virus vulnerability? I love Ubuntu and I'm OK with Raspbian*, and one of the reasons why is that I don't need to keep up with the latest antivirus software!

* That retro Windows NT look is an acquired taste. I'm thinking about replacing it with Ubuntu Mate.

yes I was thinking of calling it winlynx or Linux duo

I'll repeat my question: by being able to run .exe files, will it become as susceptible to viruses/spyware/malware as Windows is?

We already have one extremely crappy OS that runs Windows programs. It's called Windows.

Rather than reinventing a rather broken wheel, why don't you do something useful, such as write (or improve already existing) open source equivalents of whatever programs you cannot live without - for Linux? I, for example, thought I could not live without Adobe Photoshop and ArcGIS. Now, I use GIMP all the time, and I'm learning how to use GRASS GIS!

[upchucker67]

What's people's opinions on this raspberry vignette?


The image was certainly eye grabbing to me, ahem. I was about to ask if anyone would know the girl in the photo, she looked like a stock photo model someone here might know, however, despite my initial impressions, She might not be a nice Christian girl - I sadly noticed the two offensive ear piercings.

That's where the beauty. It will have a Windows Shell with the ability to download Linux programs and Windows programs. With Linux is full security. meaning no viruses

So... basically, you want to create a Linux distribution (I assume something Debian-derived) with an embedded Wine 2.0? Wouldn't it be less hassle to create a small partition of the hard drive to install Windows on it?

Or possibly vice-versa, Sister. It's not easy to decipher, is it, let alone work out the reasoning. Probably best to assume there is none (reasoning, that is).


I don't know why people bother with these things when we have JesOS.
