I made some sounds for Gnome events yesterday, and released them today. You can get them here.

Normally I'd make and release stuff on the same day,
but "having a life" just got in the way.

They're completely free, and made with aube and sweep of course. I had to fix a couple of random bugs in those to get the sounds done, so the day was a little too productive for my liking really ;-) Anyway, thanks to jdub for egging me on.

After that I was feeling all happy and Gnomey. I immediately broke 300 in gtali, being dealt a full house first up then getting a yahtzee in one roll. Karma, I tell you.

It's all good.

Having a life

I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while last night for some quiet drinks in a city cafe. Sounds innocuous enough, doesn't it? Now try doing that on a Saturday night in the party capital of the world.

We're halfway through the Olympics and Sydney is teeming with pissed bastards every night of the week. I'm not qualified to complain -- I was one of them last Friday after the opening ceremony, and again a couple of times during the week. Every pub in the city, without fail, is chockas; every city block has been vomited on, and every set of marble stairs holds a couple cleaning up, making out, or (most incongruously of all) breaking up.

We found somewhere that wasn't Sydney for a few hours and caught up.

Throw this at your subwoofers.
