Geelong v Williamstown VFL

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

After watching some of the Geelong games in the VFL, Bek and I decided we’d actually go down to TEAC Oval and watch the preliminary final betweeb Geelong and Williamstown. Although the weather turned a little nasty, it was a good day and Geelong ended up beating Williamstown by a few goals.

There were plenty of hard feeling from the Collingwood supporters that were there, living up to their reputation. This obviously excludes Jezza, and we won’t hold being a Collingwood supporter against him.

GNOME 2.16

I emerged GNOME 2.16 on all of my Gentoo boxes over the weekend. I always love a good GNOME release, and this is no exception. It feels a little quicker, and even a little more stable.

Cheers to the GNOME devs for a great release.

Double the Fist!

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

It’s great to see that Double the Fist is coming back for Series 2 on JTV. I found it hard to believe that the ABC would drop Double the Fist in the first place, after winning an AFI Award in 2004 for Best Comedy Series – Sitcom or Sketch.

Full Fist to those who watch Double the Fist. Aararrggggghhhh!!!!

Brisbane Holiday

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Bek and I just got back from our short holiday to Brisbane.e
We went to Dreamworld and Movieworld, and I got to ride all the cool rides. My favourite would probably be the Superman ride at Movieworld. Unlike the rides at Dreamworld, the Movieworld rides have a story, which makes the rides a little more interesting. The Superman ride was also nice because you shoot through a wall of a building though steam, so you can’t see what’s coming.. also the fact you go from 0 to 100km/h in 2 seconds.

B-Boys and Fly Girls Housewarming wrap-up

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

So, the floor has been mopped 3 times and it’s still sticky. It was an awesome party, and I think everyone who came had a great time.

I’ve got heaps of photos which will hopefully be online tomorrow. So check out my Photo Gallery soon.

Lastly, a big ‘you guys are fucking weak’ to the network engineering crew, except Tom. Tom would have totally made it, if he had not been in sunny QLD.
UPDATE: The photos are now in the gallery

Australia def. Japan: 3-1

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Up late to watch Australia beat Japan in a nail-biter last night at Stretch and Jizzle’s place.

After the controversial goal by Japan, in the first half (that should have been a foul on Schwarzer), Cahill scored for Australia’s in the 86th minute of the game to level the score. Australia, with a boost of confidence managed to decimate Japan with another two goals, all in the last 8 minutes of the game.

Go Aussie!

Two Fat Indians

Posted by: Andy Botting In: Personal

Nelsie invited me out for dinner on Saturday night at Two Fat Indians in East Melbourne (map). Do yourself a favour, and get some Butter Chicken into you. It’s awesome. I also had some garlic naan action and also tried this dumpling-type desert. I can’t remember what it was called, but it was hell good.

You need to eat, they need your business. Go there!

UPDATE: Two Fat Indians have now got their web site up.

I found that the Wikipedia entry on Breakdancing is very helpful for ideas on what to wear ;)
