Wayward Pines

Wayward Pines Series (3 books) Reminds me of the Twilight Zone show.

anti-social commentary

I get my news off of social media, it’s convenient. I typically just browse through feeds of a few personalities I follow to get my fix when I’m interested then move along. I make it a point to ignore the comments section to save both my sanity and time. Though there are exceptions wherein my […]

Stitched Up

I was at the Army MTB trail in Taguig yesterday, testing out my Surly Karate Monkey to see how it handles. On my last loop i tried the red trail and ended up crashing near the end. I thought it was nothing until I padded myself down and felt a notch in my shin. I basically tore […]

Synology DS216+II RAM Upgrade

Just finished upgrading my Synology DS216+II to 8GB of DDR3L (low voltage) Kingston memory, from the stock 1GB RAM.. This will hopefully improve performance and caching, especially since I can turn off memory compression now and perhaps help with Plex Hardware Transcoding. The disassembly was pretty straight-forward. After removing the drives and  sliding the top […]

Plex Hardware Transcoding on the Synology DS216+II

I signed up for the Plex Pass for $4.99 to have access to the preview release of the Plex Media Server 1.7.x which had support for hardware transcoding for inlet based Synology NAS units. Fortunately my research turned out to be true and it actually worked! My DS216+ii running DSM 6.1 can install Plex 1.5.3, […]

the road less traveled

For a high school dropout, things have been working very well for me so far. Got a place I can call my own, a job I actually like and the time and financial freedom to do what I like, and enjoy life. For everything I never had and wished I had helped me know what […]

Thanks Ampa

Voodoo Floss Bands review

The name says it all, it’s Voodoo! I was skeptical at first, how can a band of latex fix my Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow). (tennis elbow) and tight/inflamed knee? But it came down to either this 2,000PHP (40USD) or going to a physician who will most-likely prescribe some drug or operation to pseudo-fix the pain… […]

Red Rising Saga

Red Rising Trilogy An Awesome Young Adult Sci-Fi read. Originally a trilogy but I guess they’re adding 3 more books, but the story can be concluded on the third book.

The Girl with All the Gifts

The Girl with All the Gifts My first English (European) Zombie story, I especially liked the ending were one of the protagonist got to go out with one last hoorah! .. so to speak ^^v Too bad the movie adaptation sucked so much.

Retro Gaming

Because the NES mini is hard to find and/or too expensive, I decided to build a RetroPie computer at roughly the same cost as the SRP of the NES mini. At the time of writing, you can buy an Nes mini for 5,500PHP (110USD) …if you can find one, while a RetroPie will cost around […]
