Hadn't heard of Mr Hydra. Google it, saw it's on Malop St. Fanciest cocktail must be Jack & Coke. Did they let you in despite the lack of flannel?

Agenda suicide. The drones work until they die, just to get that pretty little home.
You so funny. I know no cocktails they offer, too fancy but cheap. Too bad! Me now try and make hot milo in random persons house before they wake up and ask question question.
I don't know about you guys, but it is crazy cold and I'm freezing my everything off!!
Also I ate too much tonight and can't sleep:/
Oh well, more persona 4 vita then! It's so good. Like, the game itself is already pretty good, but just being able to play it anywhere/anytime plus the vita's sleep function is heavennn!

Fuck, I knew they were fucked up, but that is blatantly evil.
Wait... you were at Mr. Hyde's last night? Seriously? I got there just before 12ish and left just after 12:30ish. How the fuck we didn't bump into each other, I'll never know. (Actually, I do: I almost always stay firmly in the DJ booth-area the whole time.)Nope
Maybe next time
At Mr Hydra cocktails at them moment
And cods, they actually have some pretty awesome cocktails there. Make a kickarse coffee espresso thingy. Lots of others, too.

apparently the owners aren't happy it only just won

edit: i have a feeling that you QLDers are about to have the most destructive, damaging and harsh budget in history
edit 2: Is it true the jockey didnt use the whip once on Caviar? and it still won?
fuck
I wouldn't be happy that the jockey eased up on the horse in the final 100m.
thats not the horses fault
I remember hearing my Dad rave about one of her recent races. All the other jockeys are whipping the shit out of their horses to try to get them to catch her. Her jockey didn't touch her once. She knows what to do.
Yeah, that's why the jockey is copping all sorts of shit today. Still, a win's a win.

That's great. Always hated the original versions.
What do you mean dodged a showdown with Frankel?
sponsors put up like a million pounds to entice Black Caviar's ppl to race the Sussex Stakes with Frankel.
Its a 1600m race so its out of her comfort zone but still within her abilities.

edit: Barry O'Farrel is making it pretty hard to like him for the majority of the electorate. Putting the toll back on the M4, removing workers comp for travel to and from work.
He could be the next Rudd. Knifed in the first term for the good of the party (so to speak).
My prediction of him being a 1 termer might be right Fred. Not necessarily labor next time, but sure as shit not BOF if this keeps up.
also question
Why is it when Julia Gillard goes back on an election promise she is called a liar by the media and hounded like crazy but when Barry or anyone else goes back on an election promise its a backtrack not a lie. And the media leave them alone. Its disgusting

Today I attempted to make beer using the "brew in a bag" all grain method (all grain means not using any kits or extracts).
First you steep the grains in a bag immersed in water. This was around 66c, I fired the burner half way through to get it to 67c.
Then you cover it and wait for an hour or so.
This is the result of a starch test 5 minutes in:
And after 60 minutes. A light colour means no starch, meaning it's all been converted to sugar, which is what you want.
All's good, so you remove the bag and boil for 60-90 minutes, adding hops along the way. I added 25g of "Goldings" hops, 10g at the start, 5g more each at 15m, 30m, 45m in.
Once it's been boiled, you've got to cool it as fast as you can:
Then transfer into a fermentation vessel. Before adding yeast, I measured the OG (Original Gravity, or weight of the beer compared to water) at 1.042. This isn't very high and not too low either.
After about 3 weeks in the fermenter I expect the FG (Final Gravity) to be 1.007-1.012. The difference will be how strong the beer is. I'm expecting 4%. This is a British ESB (or pale ale).
Big post, but it was a pretty fun day. I guess it remains to be seen whether I succeeded or totally screwed up!

Thoughts on the NSW origin selections? I'm glad they got rid of Uate, he was a huge liability in defence for the Blues. Worried about Glen Stewart being right, any sort of knee injury is sketchy. Hopefully big T-Rex can have more of an impact, I think they need to put him on for 15min each half instead of saving him. Morris will be a great replacement for Uate.
The best selection was Erin Molan
Somehow I never noticed that this article on pitching game projects, which was one of the required reading links for my game design course this year, was actually written by Gaz.
By "somehow I never noticed", I mean, "I never bothered reading this, but,". Because one of my long term goals in my life is to read as little text as possible.

It is very important to note that more or less at the same time Gazunta stopped being involved in pitching projects to publishers that the same developer stopped snagging new projects from publishers. The timing may of course be purely coincidental.
I'm not saying Gazunta is Videogame Jesus. But I am implying it. Strongly.
Are you referring to the tv show? If so I completely agree, it's great!
Yar.
Ive been working all weekend so havent had time beyond the first level and a bit. Give me til next weekend and I should have more time. Doubt the game will sell well, sadly, so it should be cheap soon.
It looks good, plays nicely, but longevity is too hard for me to tell yet.

Get the US version of any 3DS or DSi. DS doesn't matter because they're region locked.
Oh, GAF is back... that seemed to be a long outage (11 hours unless it came back and went away again while I slept)! It's probably a good reminder for people to take down any info they need for the upcoming AusGAF events in advance of the days... and to aid in that:

Even though I unconfirmed myself for Friday, I think I'll try to attend from 5:00-6:00pm if I can leave work early. I reckon I'll be able to get into the city by 4:00-4:30 so if anyone will be around we could possibly start then.
