Speedcubing in Melbourne

[Kiongku]

Well though it was addressed to Tim I guess I can reply..
I think Paul came in around 4 pm.. or close by.. Did not check the time when he came in
The 3 of us stayed till around 6 pm.

 

[RainbowBoy]

Wow
You got really into cubing after you bought one!
I started last month and all I have now is my ES 4x4 and Rubik 3x3 and a c4y 3x3.

p.s: What does Kiongku mean^^

Hope to see you at our next meet up!
Which looks cooler?
The dark blue stickers or the light blue?
OR
The white stickers or the Black ones (It's a white cube btw)

 

[Kiongku]

Kiongku has no real meaning.. It's just a nick derived from my real name Wai Keung. Do not ask me how its derived it's due to the way how my friends call my name back in my country.

Hmm for the stickers, I think it's more on which one u can recognize fastest.. as long as its clearly distinguishable from the others with "your" eyes ?

Note: YAY my cubes arrived at 6 pm sharp.. thought I will never get them today.

Came in a carton box and the items were rolled in old japanese newspapers. Bubble wrapping around my JSK (ship without package box) and a paper wrapping around my white edison.
Spinned them around and I'm impressed Very nice.. quite different feeling with my other chinese cubes or my storebought.

I gave the 2 cubes a spin, JSK first, then white edison. Really sorry I'm not that great at speedcubing yet, so I did not do justice for those cubes. I was stumped a bit because those cubes are more loose than what I'm used to.
I keep overshooting with these and lock up because I'm having a hard time to precisely turn the faces. Anyway yeh the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHn2SlGOVQk
I used my mobile camera and just set it on a box on the side.. not the best but at least something.. this is my first uploaded video on youtube hahaha

 

[RainbowBoy]

Ya, I am currently using intuitive F2L, OLL and PLL from Badmephisto's tutorial. Sorry I do not have a camera and a tripod or something.. I just put my n95 phone on a box and used its camera...

 

[Faz]

I have a question about Cube Lagoon
I am planning to make an account and it says
INCOME:
What do I put then. When I click the drop down box it comes up like money with the > sign on it. And is it actually FREE? If it isn't I'll get killed by my dad.

I failed to put this question on search.

Waiting for a reply before I click the 'Next Step' Button

IMO it's a stupid waste of time. The amount you earn is tiny, and it is just stupid. Yeah, maybe if you have heaps of referrals it might be alright.

 

[Tim Major]

does anyone know when the results will be up on www.speedcubing.com.au? tim?

 

[Faz]

They are.

I see...
All that typing for just a piddly 0.02 points.

Edit: I'm using that fake name generator which is a lot faster with copy and pasting^^
WOO!
I made 1 point!
How many points do you need for a cube?

 

[Tim Major]

They are.

lol, i checked like an hour ago, and i dont think it was up. cool

 

[Tim Major]

did anyone else buy their eastsheen 2x2 at games shop in the city. mine fell apart (didnt break) but none of the tutorials on youtube show dissasembly, of the model i have. it has the es logo on it, but it has a cross inside, and it has completely different mechanism. has anyone else found a tutorial that goes through assembly of this. it actually looks like the 3x3 corners mechanism. it has these small edge pieces on the outside, that can't beseen from the outside. please help.

 

[TimMc]

You should be able to carefully clip the corners back onto the ES2 core.

What were you doing with it? I've about 3 and haven't broken them
