All the Gifts Bestowed
One of a few single book Sci-Fi books I’ve enjoyed in recent memory. It has an apt, eerie depiction of the current state of computing. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46146065-all-gifts-bestowed
Perspective & Placement
I try as hard as I can until I either succeed or l I run out of regret in me. I. Confortable with failing 8 out 10 times as oppose to pondering what if’s. I finally understand that there is very little control to be had in life
Workstation upgrade
My daughter ask for a GPU to run her Minecraft game with the new texture packs, hey Ryzen 2400G IGP can’t run it smoothly anymore even if I crank up the frame vuffer to 2gb. So, being the doting father that i am, i gave her my GTX 1070. I was originally looking to get […]
S2W Payments plugin for WordPress
After developing on WordPress, I decided to contribute back to the community by creating a free plugin for WooCommerce and Square users. You can download the plug on WordPress.org or fork the source on Github. It’s basically allows you to filter fulfilled payments made to your Square account within WordPress and import them into WooCommerce […]
The First Law Trilogy
A great series but with a few plot holes here and there. One of my favorites books to date, but some of the protagonists could’ve concluded better. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11706669-the-first-law-trilogy?from_search=true
don’t argue with stupid people
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
HorribleSubs batch downloads
HorribleSubs took down their batch torrent section after their site update last year. Which made it cumbersome to manually download each and every magnet link for the shows I want to get. Thankfully, there’s this Chorme extensions: HorribleSubs Downloader which lets you copy all the magnet links to your clipboard for a particular resurrection e.g. […]
The Fault in Our Stars
A welcomed deviation from my usual Fantasy and Scifi fair. One of the very few romance books I actually enjoyed. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11870085-the-fault-in-our-stars
Arisen Series by Michael Stephen Fuchs and Glynn James
Not stop action from book 1 to 14! One of the most epic and engaging zombie series I’ve read so far. https://www.goodreads.com/series/84669-arisen
7.25L of awesome
After being on the AMD Ryzen platform for 18 months, I decided to go back to Intel & NVidia. Yes they present tremendous value in terms of hardware but I find Intel/NVidia to be more stable in terms of day to day operations and overall more efficient in thermals and power consumption. But I want […]
Too old to code …for bread
I define old relative to my stay in the freelance service sector space for about 2 decades now. I feel that I have overstayed my welcome and it is time to move on to other interests. The primary motivating factor for me is that I don’t find fulfillment in the work I do anymore. Not […]
Themis Files : Sleeping Giants
A story within stories; a dialog/interview style driven narrative. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25733990-sleeping-giants?from_search=true
Vatta’s War
Second time reading this, one of my favorite space opera’s from one of my favorite authors. https://www.goodreads.com/series/41099-vatta-s-war
Legends of the First Empire 1-3 of 6
https://www.goodreads.com/series/135626-the-legends-of-the-first-empire A prequel (of sorts) to one of my all time favorite series: The Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan. There’s no direct relation to the former series, it gives more context and back story to the Riyria Revelations story. Still waiting for the 3 remaining, but the first 3 books has a satisfying conclusion […]
Schiit Stack review
I got myself a new audio setup as a Christmas gift last year. I pulled the trigger when I saw the Sennheiser HD6XX was an active drop and ready to ship within 24hrs on Mass Drop. The headphone amp was an after-thought, but after trying my Audioengine D1 on the HD6XX I knew I needed […]
Hell Divers 3 : Deliverance
Satisfying conclusion to the trilogy even though there are still several books after the initial story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35480139-deliverance
Hell Divers 2 : Ghosts
A lull in the action from the first book, but sets up the story for the third book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31434700-ghosts
Artemis
The conclusion of the book left me hanging a bit, otherwise it was a good read. Not as good as The Martian though. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34928122-artemis
Re-building my Playstation, NES, SNES & Arcade classic console
Following the disappointment that was the PlayStation Classic Console, which I was totally set on buying; I decided to re-build one myself. I really wanted to have one for nostalgia and to revisit Resident Evil 2 before I play the remastered version on the PS4 next year… unfortunately the overwhelming negative reviews knock some sense […]
Salsa Cutthroat 2019 review
TLDR: It is basically a mountain bike with drop bars… and it’s awesome! I recently got myself the Salsa Cutthroat 2019 with the Apex build kit. I would’ve wanted to opt for the Force 1 build kit but they didn’t offer the frameset in black, so I had to swap out some parts: Replaced Apex […]
