Subject: Snakebites: a review
Date: 28 Jul 92 20:51:11 GMT
Organization: Boston University

I'm bored with all this sushi lobster talk.
(Love lobster, don't like sushi much, maybe I'll
try it sometime, but *ENOUGH ALREADY*.)

So I'll post something controversial -- a review.
Snakebites is a TexMex restaurant located in the
old Sears building on Mass Ave in Porter Sq.
(Next to Cottonwood Cafe, I think they're somehow
affiliated because I saw a Cottonwood Cafe tee shirt
for sale at Snakebites.)  Fun bar scene if you like
perfect-looking shallow people straight from a
workout at Bally's (downstairs).

We went on a Saturday night, fairly late (around 10:30 pm)
and had no trouble being seated right away.  Service was
okay, but we were sitting on the quasi-patio (outside the
restaurant but not *outside* -- in the general mall area),
and so our waitress made very infrequent trips out of the
general seating area.  Took over ten minutes to get a water
refill, but the food was still hot when we got it.  :>

Food:
We started with the snakebites -- "shrimp stuffed
jalepenos".  They were breaded, deep fried, and served
with a creamy, sweet sauce.  The shrimp were large,
the jalepenos were spicy.  The overall taste was good
but not spectacular.  The sauce was gross.

I had a burrito that was stuffed with chicken, veges,
salsa, and fruit (rasins and apricots, I think) and topped
with cheese sauce.  YUM!  I really liked it.  I know,
it's not authentic anything, but it was nicely spiced,
the sweet taste of the fruit added a wonderful contrast
to the spices (I never do this at home -- think I need
to buy some raisins!), and everything tasted fresh.
It was served with refried beans (pretty bland) and some
chips.

The prices were moderate.  Two people, two entrees, one
appetizer, two drinks came to around $35.  

Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was a bit loud
and bar-like (well, there *is* a bar there) for me, and the
value was not great.  I think I'm more likely to head
into Cottonwood Cafe or across the street to Christopher's
next time, but you never know.


Comments, flames, discussions, arguements, screaming hissy fits
all welcome.  But please don't mention lobster...

For your information and potential enjoyment...

On Monday of this week I was surprised to find bialys and fresh
habanero chilis at the Belmont Star Market.  No, they were not next
to each other.  

This is the first time in 21 years that I have seen bialys in the
Boston area.  (It's true I rarely make it to Kupel's.)  They were
packed six to the bag.  Some of the bialys were imports from Brooklyn
and others seemed to have been baked at the store.  I can report that
the Brooklyn bialys are pretty okay after they have been toasted, even
though they are not quite up the standards of the fresh ones I got
when I was growing up there.

The habenaros were bright orange and in very good condition.  They
seem to be part of some chili sale at area Star Markets this week.  I
bought a small quantity but haven't had the nerve to sample one yet...

Enjoy!

Don't pick on me!  I come from the midwest, where "seafood" is square,

The Magic Pan has been gone for a while (maybe a year?), and there is
a Pizzeria Uno just inside the entrance to the mall near Sears.  There
is also a Pizzeria Regina which is just inside the mall entrance near
Jordan Marsh.

I'm not too familiar with the area, but I ate
a fantastic breakfast at a restaurant called
"One Miriam Place" in Lexington Center just after
the re-enactment of the battle...best pancakes I've
had in the entire Boston area (possible exception of
the raspberry pancakes at the Neighborhood Restaurant).

My guess is they have good, hearty, meat-and-potatoes
kinds of lunches.  Sandwhiches, burgers, maybe chicken
pot pie.  Good food, casual.  Worth a try based on
their breakfasts.  The address is -- of course -- 
1 Miraim Place.  Right by the green.

IMHO, The Great Wall is yucky.  For chinese, you could go to
Yangzse (sp?) River, in Lexington, right off Rt4, BelCanto (in the same

Well, you could check out the MAEstro system developed by George
Drapeau at Stanford.  It consists of a number of media applications
(CD, videodisk, videotape, etc.) which can be tied together to create
multimedia documents.

MAEstro source and binaries are available via anonymous ftp from

Well, I can think of two just off the top of my head.

1. Using serial control of a laserdisk, you can have a  
customized, interactive educational game similar to the arcade  
ones.

2. With enough processing power (and a 486 has it) you could  
inspect and capture significant news stories from CNN.  The  
military would have loved that capability to help generate  
briefings during the Gulf War.

This just seems too incredible to me. I can not possibly see how anybody 
can DCT transform a 320x240 frame at that speed on a 486. 

Furthermore I can't see how you could do the motion compensation for an entire frame 
at that speed. The Motion compensation requires an extensive search around each 8x8
pixel block in the image, which amounts to millions of searches just for a single frame.

Another problem which has me confused is that MPEG is not defined for Colourmap
based images which the Xing encoder must use. (you can't do decent real-time colour
quantisation at run time, the images must be pre-quantised, However DCTs do not work
very well with colourmapped images)

I find it hard to believe that the Xing encoder is really MPEG as per the standard.

Some advantages to video in a window:
1. You don't have to spend money or deskspace for a second monitor.
2. The information on the screen seems visually more integrated, which
   is important for many hypermedia applications.
3. Relationships between the video and other information the computer is
   displaying are easier to draw. (Arrows, descriptive text, I've even
   seen a person talking and pointing to things on the computer screen
   from within the video window).

Some disadvantages:
1. You have to spend money for a special video card (may still be less
   than a second monitor).
2. You don't have the spatial resolution of full-screen video. While many
   video cards have a full-screen option, you would then of course hide
   everything else on the screen. Some applications I've seen allow you
   to click on the picture to toggle between full-screen and window only.

Two years old and incorrect!  :-)  My new email address is listed below.
There is also a new (much better) wscrawl 2.0 that is available.

Wscrawl 2.0 is available via annonymous ftp from the machine "sax.stanford.edu"
which has IP address "36.103.0.27".  Get the file called "wscrawl.shar.Z",
uncompress it, unpack it with "sh wscrawl.shar", then compile it.  You will 
need the Motif 1.1 libraries to compile it, and at least the X11R4 Xt and 
Xlib libraries.

There is an application which I found a few years ago called "wscrawl",
the date I have on the source is 6/15/90.  It allows multiple X displays

Digital Equipment's software manufacturing (media replication, packaging, etc)
and distribution for all of Europe is done in Galway, Ireland and they can
handle custom pressing of CDs for you.  They can also handle the mastering
of at least Ultrix and VMS CDROMs and probably other formats as well.

From the description of what you are trying to do, it sounds like you are
looking for a low volume process.  I'm not sure about the prices, but I 
know that it is cheap enough to make it financially attractive for something
as trivial as having a CDROM pressed to so that a disk drive supporting a
read-only archive can be retired to save the maintenance costs.  I think
I've heard prices in the $300-400 range for this process, but that may be
way off.

If you are interested in volume runs, the prices drop to around $5 per disk
for moderate volumes and $1.50 or so for high volumes.

I don't have a contact handy, but I'll dig one up for you and send it on.
If you want to just call the main switchboard and see if they can direct
you, the number is 091 57651.  Perhaps if you're quick enough, you can
even arrange to hand deliver the data during Galway Race Week (purely to
make sure that the tape arrives safely of course :-).

I have written a video database program which uses the InfoWindow and
MMotion videodisc drivers.  I would like to be able to use this program
on non-overlay setups using two screens (1 for video, 1 for text) so 
now I need some drivers which will allow me to send commands to 
Sony and Pioneer industrial laserdisc players.

Before I write them myself, I thought I'd ask if anyone
knows of any laser disc player drivers out there?
