★ About baking, about foobar~

Yesterday night, I baked another cheese cake, and this time, it came out pretty good!
I mean, unlike what I got before, which were basically acceptable but not very fluffy. This time, it was soft! I didn't know why, because I sifted the flour this time? Maybe, maybe not. However, I've decided to sift the flour every time in future. That is not an annoying procedure like I firstly thought. So finally, I was glad to say here, I have the confidence to bake cheese cake well (yet this time, it seemed my cake was over-baked for about 5 minutes… ^^;)!
But I still didn't get the sponge cake well baked. I didn't know why either. I sifted the flour, but it was still not fluffy at all. I remember the last time when I tried kasutera, which was generally like sponge cake but I made it well. Now, I'm guessing maybe I should mix the eggs and sugar for much longer, like what I did for kasutera, and add the flour when the egg-sugar mix is highly full of bubbles… hmmm… I'll report my trying in future if I make the sponge again…

Gosh, baking isn't much easier than science experiments. lol
Also in yesterday evening, I installed the foo_scheduler plugin for my foobar player. After a few times of trying, I finally got how to work on it. So I was able to set it play until a time point, and then, foobar will run a command line that I gave it before, so windows will go to sleep. This is extremely useful for me, because I like to listen to music when I sleep. I would like to listen via computer since I have to use earphones if on digital player, and my ears get hurt. My previous music player – jetaudio – has this feature, which was why I thought there would be one for foobar, since there are so many people are making plug-in's for the open source software.
I also saw in the foo_scheduler setting window that there is an option to wake your computer from sleep/hibernation. Wow, then I might also be able to make my computer into a music alarm clock!! I haven't tried it yet, but maybe I can in this evening!!
(P.S. to self: yesterday night when I was playing GARNET CROW's "Marionette Fantasia", I suddenly felt like to make a simple video for that song… well, just a thought right now though… maybe I should just begin from drawing something for it… ^^;)
