    Petya malware

    Porn sites are host to so many viruses that Petya can't get a foothold. Kinda like Mr. Burns. https://youtu.be/aI0euMFAWF8

    The gaming thread

    Ha, so the answer is to spend a whole lot more money, and combine VR with something like this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jPCs-Odlwc

    The gaming thread

    Curious about whether you've ever suffered from car / air sickness? I don't know whether there's actually any link to getting sick in VR games though.

    The gaming thread

    The price point is going to have to come down a lot before it reaches critical mass. It's going to be an interesting one to see play out, it's a bit of a catch 22. Without quality games to support it, people aren't going to invest in VR. Without people investing in VR, the price point won't...

    The gaming thread

    Awesome info guys! Yeah, I don't have the cash to splash out on VR yet anyway, especially as I would have to upgrade my GPU. Luckily my CPU / MoBo / RAM were updated recently so at least it'd just be that one component. Maybe I should be on the lookout for 2nd hand gear from people who...

    The gaming thread

    I've been playing driving games since I picked up a Logitech G29 a while back, and when I can find time to actually get stuck in. F1 2016 has been fun, and I picked up Project Cars on sale for $13 in the Steam sales the other day - haven't played a whole lot yet, but flinging a BMW M4 around...

    Bollards on bike paths

    I hate banana rails. It's like they've got an attraction field around them, so that even if you haven't seen another rider on the path for kilometres, the moment one of these bastard things shows up there will be another rider or pedestrian trying to pass through at the exact moment you arrive...

    If you want to Ride Kowen/Sparrow now is the time

    I'm no official word, but there won't be any dramas showing up and riding the unaffected trails as normal, they're (currently) not impacted or closed. I'm pissed they started early...I couldn't make it on the weekend, and had arranged a day off tomorrow to head out and have one last ride out...

    eBikes - what's the current perspective

    Utter cunt. I really hope that he's been reported before now, so the police are able to establish a pattern of arsehat behaviour. Dude's 47 years old, so it's not like it's a young kid doing stupid shit that young kids do. Fuck him.

    Startling moments on the trails

    A couple of years back, I was riding through Bruce Ridge, and there's a section just before the FoBR Pub Run that's pretty tight and scrubby, but lots of fun to ride though. This day, I misjudged a gap between trees and hit my shoulder against one of them, nothing too hard or anything though...

    Lame claims to fame and shame.

    A good 20 years ago, when I was a lowly public servant working for the department of health, I found myself in an awesome job. I was working in the records / mail area, and got to be a departmental courier driver. We had several offices that kinda fell under our department, their mail would...

    ACT 2017 Mont 24hr

    You won't have any issues parking near your site, especially if you don't feel the need to set up camp as close as possible to HQ. The past couple of years we've set up camp in an area to the right of the main access road. There's been a stack of room, plus areas with rocky outcrops where...

    Little Things You Hate

    I'm with you - the best toasted sandwiches are gently cooked in a fry pan. Nothing like the crunch you get when you bite through the toasted bread when it hasn't already had all of the air crushed out of it. I've too experienced flipping related disasters, and can recommend getting a 2nd...

    Little Things You Hate

    Main thing I found interesting in that article is the event only had 1,800 riders, and someone in the comments (I'm doubting their stats) reckons it's the biggest one day event in the USA and 3rd biggest in the world...yet the Mont is struggling with ~1,400 riders (and in times past had way more...
