Gallipoli Grog Lager
Chief brewer Mark, another mate Josh and myself met up for pasta and beer. Mark showed his new skill of pasta making, cooking up some great spinach and ricotta thingys, very enjoyable along with the now mature Extra Dry and Cascade Spicy Ghost Draught brews. After dinner it was time to prepare a new batch.
This time we used the Morgan’s Australian Lager extract to make a Fosters Lager type brew (hopefully). Since it was the ANZAC day long weekend, we are calling this batch Gallipoli Grog.
After sanitising the equipment, we mixed 2L boiled water with the extract and a 1kg Ultra pack (250g Maltodextrose, 250g Dextrose, 550g Pale Malt), and added another 250g Dextrose/sucrose mix.
Filled to 24L mark with cold filtered water, added the yeast mix, and stirred for 30sec (rather than letting it sit on top of the mix like previous brews. Final temperature was 28C.
Since it is getting close to winter and we’re in a cold snap at the moment, we wrapped the fermenter in a blanket and left it downstairs.

Logview1 v0.6 Release
This release adds a simple event log for the log viewer, and tools for user management (add, modify, delete), as well as cleaning up some of the HTML.
I have held back adding features for annotating, bookmarking and sign-off until the next version.
Visit the project page or SVN repository.
Mod_Python Sessions and User Login Framework
While adding a login/logout feature to the logview1 project, I found the documentation a little sketchy. Fortunately Python is very easy to figure out, so I wrote a basic mechanism. You can find the code here in the SVN repository.
So when you try the main handler, http://blahblah/basedir/sessions_login.py/query it will redirect to a login screen until you are authenticated. Apart from that it’s a simple hit counter. It checks login name and password against a database table and sets session information.
Logview1 v0.5 Release
It’s only been one day since I published the site on the web, but today I added some more of the features on the TODO list, so the script is more useful for searching logs.
For now I’m calling it Logview1… it’s a viewer, that views logs, and it’s number one! 
Visit the project page, where I’ve posted the source and some screenshots.
