Futuremark - Me

Found another use for an online repository of data. I usually lose the futuremark scores of my PC by the timeI change something that may effect it.
http://3dmark.com/pcm05/3077859 is apparently the weblist. I wonder if it will work in a years time?
on the other hand an overall score of zero does not look correct.

I think this is about the fith attempt but I donot know what happened to my prior instructions.

Noodles:
225g of Chinese noodles (Philippine style)

1 cake of instant noodles
There are to be warmed in water so as to soften them. Then they are rinsed in cold water and set to the side.

Topping:
1 sugarloaf cabbage coursely chopped up
2 carrot cut into sticks.
capsicum
Frozen beans
This is  to be stir fryed.

Broth:
Ginger powder


sesame oil
Bonox
Salt
soy sauce
2 cloves garlic
 miso Paste
This needs to be whisked to remove all the lumps.
Heat but donot boil.

Serving:

Noodles in a bowl, add some topping, then enough broth to cover. The heat of the broth is supposed to finish cooking the noodles.
Also add
Sliced spring onions
sesame seeds
Garlic chives

Vegetable curry

 In large sause pan
A diced onion

Heat so the onion starts to change color

1tsp of Keen Curry, Ground Ginger, Cardamon and Turmeric
1/2 cup of yogurt

Soon the chunks should stop going THUD then they hit the wall of the sausepan.

add
1/2 an Eggplant worth of chunks chunks
Zuichini chunks
handfull of frozen beans for colour.
stir through for another 5 min
I forgot to make rice so let the pot stand off the heat with the lid on and home the vegetables are not too cooked. Serve with sliced lime.
Took me ~2hours to make and eat.

Pirates of Black Cove

Just before dancing today I signed up for the closed Beta of Pirates of Black Cove Seems I have to remember in 2 weeks time to check my email to see if I got in.

As an aside I wonder why Warhammer Dawn of war one is not a part of games on windows live? It must really be that old.

Ramen in Melbourne

 Wandering around Melb yesterdy I saw a nifty Ramen shop that looked simmilar to the one that Naruto frequents. But when it came lunchtime I couldnt find it. I found another one though. It turns out that all the ramen there used miso chicken soup, so the variety was in what went on top. I asked for spicy vegetables and told the girl that I had attempted to make ramen at home and failed miserably. She thew me when she asked if I would like a drink, so I said yes. after a little more confusion I ordered a Kirin Beer because I have not had it before. tasted like a normal beer, but the Japanese drink it.  So this is what I ended up with.

I Remember Choji telling Naruto how to try a new ramen out. so I tested the broth first. The orangy oil is nearly too spicy for me but yes that tasted like the miso soup I had made, the sesame seeds added to it though I I had not tried them.

Next I ate some on the noodles, there were two different sorts and they were a little crunchy still. Particularly the big ones. So last time I definitely overcooked my noodle. Also by the end of the meal all the noodles were cooked through by the heat of the broth.

I am quite pleased that I had a decent attempt at using the chopsticks, also found out that if you slurp the noodles juice flicks off them and makes a mess. Very bad when the juice also burns of chilly. So I chewed out the noodles instead.

The ingredients that I could taste/see and name were:
Ginger, couldn't see any though
sesame seeds (black white and yellow, some of the black ones sank the rest floated on broth)
Lettuce, bite sized pieces, must have been put in last and was uncooked.
Carrot cut in sticks 3mm thick, also somewhat crunchy
Spring onion, sliced into disks.
That was it, I should have ordered a meaty one so that I could get a half boiled egg in it. that looked nifty.
There were a few other veggies that I could not identify.

Interstellar Marines

Ever heard of Interstellar Marines? neither had I but it sounds interesting. Just read an article on Games.on.net and one of the developers used the phrase "make the game that we really want to play". It seems to be a new system shock2. Note to self keep an eye out for this game.

Checking their website I have seen this before, but this time I am interested.
