Hurgh’s Blog

I know, I havent posted anything recently. I have been away so have not had time.

I thought I would make a short post jsut quickly, letting anyone that cares know that www.ausgamers.com was hacked lastnight.

You can check out an image of the hacked site here.

Nothing too exciting, but the site is still down at the moment, so looks like they are trying to recover from a backup.

More posts later, I have started re-building my RC Chopper, so might post some pictures of that too

Quick update too about my last post (Busy Weekend). The time for the team that we supported was ammended, and now they came 2nd in the mixed teams, and 13th overall, with a final time of 15 hours and 31 min (i think). For some reason though, these have not been updated on the Oxfam website.

I took Friday off last weekend to be the support crew for one of the teams running the Oxfam Trailwalker. For those of you who dont know what the Oxfam Trailwalker is, it is a 100km walk from Jells Park Conference Centre in Wheelers Hill, to the summit of Mt Donna Buang. Despite the name, there is a lot of teams that actually run it, and I was supporting one of those teams.

The team that I was supporting was called “Team DWAC” (representing the Southport Health Club). They did really well, finishing 5th in the Mixed Teams (listing here), and 22nd overall. The final time was 17 hrs : 21 min.

It was a bit disappointing as when the team made it to Checkpoint 7 (the last checkpoint before the finish), they were told that the conditions up the side of the mountain were too bad, and that they were not allowed to continue. This was really hard for them considering they had just run for 88km and were told that they were unable to complete the run. The track was re-opened the next morning, so they were able to finish the last stage of the race, but it was not the same as they had to stop for a night in-between.

Whatever the case, I think they did a great job and I know I would not have been able to do as well as they did.

It was a great day, had a lot of fun, and I will probably do it again next year (probably supporting my wife who wants to run in it next year ).

After the other night of WoW being down, I didn’t get a chance to play it for a few nights, but last night I jumped on. First time I have spent a good amount of time playing in more than 2 patches. I noticed that they still have issues with a few instances that I played. I have yet to see any weather. Maybe I was not in the correct place for long enough, but I am interested in seeing it. From the vid’s i watched it looked good.

I also creped one step closer to lvl 60 last night, I am now up to lvl 55. I can’t wait to start getting some new gear, the stuff I have at the moment is getting a little old. I will have to start hassling my guild buddies to do some of the instances that I need to get some of the new gear I want.

For those of you who are interested, you can check out my character profile here. It is updated most nights that I play WoW.

Till next time.
