Anything Tehnology related. Be it software, hardware, or toys in general.
First, I’m testing this blogging app to post entries straight to my site from the iPhone. Hooray for that 😉
So there’s Ecto for the desktop, and this for the iPhone.
Okay, on to the topic.
Just to make things clear; having Rick Astley as a wallpaper is a feature – that’s just full of WIN 😉
Seriously though, in a nutshell; both the actual case and potential dangers it implies, while true, are overrated. Read More
It’s been a while since I blogged, the past few weeks have been extremely hectic with the storm, work, etc. that I had been neglecting my blog. Anyways, there are a bunch of stuff I could discuss from the past few weeks, but lets focus on one right now. I’m starting from the most recent “happening” – which is how I had just updated my iPhone OS to v3.1.2 1 since the tools for jailbreaking my 3GS was made available only recently.
Now why is this worthy for a blog entry? Maybe it isn’t. Perhaps if you knew the context, it would make more sense. 2 And help you decide if it’s worth taking note of Sufficed to say that this only applies to iPhone users (and those who are planning to get iPhones, I guess) Read More
As I have announced, I’ve switched to a tubeless setup. Thankfully, my rims are UST ready (actually, so are Cris’) so all I had to invest in was the new tires (Schwalbe Jimmys) and sealant. Furthermore, I still had credit on the shop I got the tires from (from stuff I had them sell for me) so I really just spent 500 bucks on the new set of tires 🙂
A bunch of friends have been asking me for the reason why I preferred to switch to tubeless despite the weight penalty… and some are even wondering about all this tubeless hulaballoo altogether. So I guess this post would also make a good reference of my understanding on the matter.
I’d normally put it in the Orbea Alma post; which I’ve updated to reflect the upgrade, but this topic requires more discussion to get a real handle of issues one might have to consider in making the decision of going tubeless or not.
Before anything else, it’s worth mentioning that this whole discussion applies mostly to off-road riding. If you’re a roadie, a tubed or tubeless setup isn’t much of an issue; you just go with what’s lighter and more practical for you and be happy. On MTBing however, this can be a cause of concern depending on where and how you ride – which is why I’m posting this entry. Read More
My friend asked me a few days ago about where I find the time “maintaining” all my social networking accounts and post to every single one of them (when she tried checking them out). She doesn’t realize that as far as “blogging” is concerned, there’s only one place I post from: my desktop – using Ecto.
What happens is that I draft the entry via Ecto, then post it to my main site ([www.nargalzius.com]()). Once it hits the site, I’ve got a bunch of WordPress plugins installed that handle cross-posting to other applicable social networks.
Having said that, it’s been a while since I checked out the possibility of expanding the cross-posting functionality of my blog. So I decided to check out if I could finally post to even more accounts in one go. Read More
This is a “how-to” post; particularly how to “marry” a Fox Remote RL cable holder assembly fork-mount with a Topeak A1 [front] Air Fender.
I’m a Topeak whore. I just love the bicycle accessories they produce; as they are really useful. One of the most useful accessories they’ve got are what they call “Air Fenders” – which are basically removable, inflatable mud-guards. Naturally being inflatable, you can deflate them; and wrap them up and store them in your bag – which is exactly why they’re awesome…
… until I changed my fork to a F-Series F100 Remote RL.
You see, the rear fender connects via a seatpost collar clamp, while the front fender mounts inside the fork-tube from below. The latter was hindered by the fact that the cable holder assembly of the new fork was in the way.
After a few weeks of riding. I thought about it, and confirmed with the Fox service center that taking this assembly out is of no consequence. So that’s exactly what I did – but that wasn’t the end of it. Read More
