Young's Double Chocolate Stout

By
Perhaps I will perhaps I won't. I have been enjoying specialist or micro brewery (although some I think are not so micro) beers for a while now and have not kept a log. In an attempt to help me un fog my mind I'm gonna try write some thoughts on each wheni remember them.

The first one to move me to do this (though far from the best) is the young' Double Cholocate Stout. My daughter is a chocolate lover (we'll I am too, but she was with me when I went to my favourite outpost of beer in Claremront Liquor City), so I choose this knowing that stout/porter is one of the types of beer I like. It was a little on the steep side, a little below R50 so I only took one.

So is there a double Cholocate taste, well yes, but it is subtle. I think it is called double chocolate since it has chocolate malt, and chocolate flavoring in it. The stout taste does dominate it is a smooth beer with good smokiness and then a little of the chocolate taste comes through. It is not as gassy as the famous stout of world record proportions but it is gassier than the micro brewed porters I have had from Wild Clover And British old engine oild. I prefer the a lack dog from Wild clover breweries it is far more drinkable.

All in all aromatically it is sweet but subtle so 6/10 and Flavours are good but not over powering so 8/10 after taste has the chocolate so also 8/10 morishness is about 6/10 so total 7/10.

Aromas: 6
Flavours: 8
Aftertaste: 7
Morishness: 6
Will get again: 6
Total:  27

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

By
What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil

The doomed perpetual quest for happiness and consciousness

By
We are made so The quest for happiness is doomed. If we are not happy we want to be happy. If we are happy we want to stay happy which is impossible, since you cannot be in that state of happiness forever. Happiness moment are brief. This is the Dukkha of life that the Buddha spoke about. Sometime translated as suffering it is more unsatisfactoriness. In Robert Wrights book “ Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Enlightenment ” he makes a case for the fact that if you wanted to create a system for a being to pursue pleasure the best way to design that being is to make pleasure transient. So the joy of eating a great meal must only last for a short while otherwise we would starve. This means we can only have transient happiness, otherwise we would always be happy. That is why each goal we achieve is only important if we do not achieve it, and once achieved its significance fades, so we can pursue the next goal and pleasure. The problem is that we need to realise

Server.Response vs Request.Redirect

By
  I have always wondered what the difference was, and finally found out (see below – cut and paste) that the one is recommended for internal pages, the other for external.   I found this at: http://forums.asp.net/p/1456267/3335046.aspx If you read a lot of industry magazines and ASP.NET code samples, you may find that, although the majority use Response.Redirect  to send the user to another page, some seem to prefer the rather mysterious-sounding Server.Transfer . So, what's the difference? Well,  Response.Redirect  simply sends a message down to the browser, telling it to move to another page. So, you may run code like: Response.Redirect("WebForm2.aspx") or Response.Redirect("http://www.quaffee.com/") to send the user to another page. Server.Transfer  is similar in that it sends the user to another page with a statement such as Server.Transfer("WebForm2.aspx") . However, the statement has a number of distinct advantages and disadvantages. Firstly,
