Sapphire Hotel

Since Stephanie had a bad day, the Ladyfriend and I took her for a drink or two. At ten, ordered off the happy hour menu, which was a remarkable amount of food for a small price.

Stargate: Continuum

A movie that's been in the queue for relatively forever; finally the capstone on this particular Stargate saga.

Bonfire

Dimly lit but excellent food, after the Zero 7 show we were hungry. The burger was excellent with chipotle relish. The fries were perfectly salty and seasoned.

Echo

A popular predestination for shows at the Wonder Ballroom before Zero 7.

Sliding Doors

I really really liked it. I thought it was very clever the way they flipped between the... sliding.

Bridgeport Ale House

It was a fun Saturday night. I had the two seasonal beers: the Ebenezer and Hop Harvest.  I also had the St. Johns Pizza; it was quite good.

2009 Holiday Ale Festival

While not a pub, still a drinking outing; I had several, most didn't particularly stand out. Just got around to entering my notes.

Anchor Brewing, Old Foghorn Ale
Bear Republic Brewing, Barrel Aged Old Baba Yaga
L: This one rocked my world and called me the next day. Also: it was over (and because of) the Old Baba Yaga that I received perhaps the most romantic compliment ever: "If I could reduce you to a beer, this would be it." (Probably because it was 11% ABV, and I tend to have a pretty high blood-alcohol level most days.)
E: This is the beer that starts nights where one wakes up the following morning 300 miles away without pants on
Brasserie Dupont, Avec Les Bons Voeux 2009
Full Sail, Wassail Holiday Blend
Hopworks Urban Brewery, Kronan the Barbarian
I thought it was a too malty
L: This—in a weird, crossover way—reminds me of why I don't drink white wine.
Stone Brewing, Bourbon Barrel Arrogant Bastard Ale
E: Meh.

Ganglia and OpenBSD

OpenBSD does't enable multicast by default. I learned this the hard way trying to get Ganglia to run on a seemingly deaf OpenBSD host.

Horse Brass

I had a London Pride from Fullers Brewing and an Inversion IPA. London Pride was bland.

RiffTrax: Twilight

If anyone ever asks you if you want to watch Riff Trax say that you do. They're hilarious.
