New Ride

I'm finally back in my own set of wheels!

2001 VW Golf GTI - 1.8T

It's an awesome little car and heaps of fun to drive, especially with the little bit of tweaking I've done to it already ;)

The Mongoose Paradox

Our theme for feature branch names this sprint is 'Fake spy/thriller novels'.

So I present to you...

The Mongoose Paradox: the-mongoose-paradox.appspot.com

I wrote it with Gaelyk in about an hour in a waiting room. Not bad considering I'd never used Gaelyk or GAE before!

Also, the Gaelyk/GAE support in IntelliJ is awesome!

ShareYourLove Samsung Competition

ShareYourLove is stoked to have Samsung onboard as a sponsor. They're giving away a camera worth $299 each week for 4 weeks during August for the best image and story.

Wow! Two car related posts in a row!

Here's some in-car footage from the Grafton Hillclimb. It's a short, tight course about 3 hours south of the Gold Coast. They hold 4 or 5 of these each year. Heaps of fun! I set a new PB this trip, beating my old best time by about 5 seconds thanks to better tires and suspension.
