New PB at Willowbank yesterday

I went out to Willowbank Raceway yesterday for some 1/4 mile fun. My best time was 13.791, about 1/2 a second quicker than last time thanks to a new exhaust, front mount intercooler and clutch.

I haven't found any video of my runs but here's some I took of the other VR-4s and Evos that were there. The last clip is of an R35 GT-R which ran an 11.3!

The only SL Mercedes I'd be seen in

Definitely not a hair dresser's car.... AMG SL65 Black

Honey, I shrunk my drift car

One word. Awesome: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/07/10/random-snap-gt-gt-drifting-kei-truck.aspx

Photos from BarCamp

DJ has posted his great photos from BarCamp. They are in his photostream starting from here: http://flickr.com/photos/djp72/2644670844/ Hopefully he'll tag them all soon. My two favourites below :)

Some initial Grails Portlets documentation

I've started documenting how the Grails Portlets plugin currently (hopefully?) works. http://grails.org/Portlets+Plugin You can try it out (with some effort) by checking it out from subversion: http://svn.codehaus.org/grails-plugins/grails-portlets/trunk. You'll also need to checkout and build a Grails 1.1 snapshot: http://svn.codehaus.org/grails/branches/GRAILS_1_1

BarCamp Gold Coast

I had a great time at BarCamp Gold Coast yesterday. A big thanks to the un-organisers!
