I'm not sure how I managed to make it flow like this. It only happened for two out of the four cans I had to pour.

Spam Goes Here / I really should have mentioned this yesterday...
« on: September 17, 2012, 04:59:52 PM »
...but delays can't be reversed, so...
I'd like to announce that yesterday was my first year anniversary with Amber.
(She should return at some point, but she's buried in school work at the moment.)

Spam Goes Here / I am a train, I am insane, I have never ever had plantain.
« on: August 22, 2012, 08:52:36 AM »
So I realised I've truly lost the last of my precious marbles. I'm currently obsessing over running a virtual airline with my favourite plane, obtaining a Sydney suburban railway timetable (slightly) older than my girlfriend, and a few other remarkably similar, absolutely cracked things.
Well, at least I don't blow money on KPop stuff (), not that I could afford to...
What do you think is proof you're veering towards losing your mind?
EDIT: On a side note, I've seriously never eaten plantain; and no, I'm not actually a train, no matter what you guys say. Teehee.

Games etc. / Airline management? Yes pl0x!!1
« on: August 21, 2012, 06:52:13 AM »
So I've found this interesting game, Airline Empires. Basically, you run an airline in a competitive world, and try to succeed. It's pretty cool, but borderline geeky. Unlike most games, this is not about flashy graphics and exhilarating gameplay. This is a straightforward but deep airline management simulation, and the entire interface is effectively a website; a plane is nothing more than some unique parameters and a pretty photo.
It's completely free and remarkably challenging, so I strongly recommend giving it a shot. The game progresses in real time, at a rate of 2-4 days an hour. Unlike many similar games, such as Airline Manager on Facebook, you do not need to manually activate anything to keep it going; you can make changes, but the airline can and will run on autopilot (pun intended). Of course, it's ideal to be making a killing, then sit on the positive gradient.
It's fairly realistic, more so than some others, but it's a very serious type of game; there are ex-wargamers who get into Airline Empires and build strong airlines and strong alliances to crush any and all opposition. Which is hilarious, but also simulates the real world of airlines - it's cutthroat as hell, and even the best airlines cannot sit around.
So far, I've got one MD-83 shuttling between KUL and SIN, 42 times weekly. I'm not quite profitable, but we shall see. Unsurprisingly, I've called this airline WatsonAir.
I also think this is a very good base for a macro railway armchair simulation; this is the sort of game I've been looking for, with a focus on hard numbers and hard realities.

You have 3 days. If yes > no, I'll change it; if no > yes, I'll keep the current one (which I've had since I was new - nearly two years).

Spam Goes Here / Life hack discovered for ice cream
« on: July 25, 2012, 03:45:46 PM »
I'm pretty sure this happens to everyone who has ever bought a tub of ice cream and kept it in their freezer for their own consumption.
When you bring the ice cream straight out of the freezer and try to scoop some to eat, it's quite difficult. The ice cream is very cold and thus very hard. Often, you'll bend your spoon or strain your hand to get the ice cream out into a consumable portion.
Don't you think there's a better way to get it out, so you can enjoy your ice cream without suffering this painful extraction stage?
Well, there is. Watson's found it.
