Keyport Slide

Uncrate is an evil site – it makes you spend without you realizing it. I ended up getting so much shit 1 Not everything was from Uncrate, though. because of it!

First, I appeased my sartorial urges by getting Wurkin Collar Stiffs. I also got myself a glorified bag-organizer in the form of the Nau Fluent Stash. I also indulged the photographer in me by getting a pimped out BlackRapid RS-7. 2 I actually already have an RS-Sport, but found out that it wasn’t compatible with modules. So I got the 7, then pimped it out with a BRAD, Buck, Joey J-2 and FastenR-T1 Even got a Spyderco Sharpmaker for maintaining my Waimea

But all those cannot compare to the awesomeness that is my new Keyport Slide

A little here and there

My blog has been acting up the whole of last week – which is why I haven’t been able to post about the other mundane stuff I’ve been up to.

Some geek shit

I had just upgraded the core WordPress engine, and for some reason, my index page won’t display articles. All other pages work though. There was nothing wrong with my code; and I don’t say this arrogantly, but because I tried plugging my code to a default template and it worked flawlessly. (Of course it did… why shouldn’t it? Ok that was a tad arrogant 😉 hehehe.)

Anyways, I had the time to sort it out today after finishing work. Turns out the new version wouldn’t play nice with concurrent database connections like the older one did. 1 my peer list, and social network icons, are stored in another database Anyways, nothing that a simple mysql_select_db(); switch couldn’t fix. So back to regular programming Read More

OC-ness

Since I have nothing better to post, I guess I’d demonstrate how anal I could be with my car.

I’ve mentioned that I’ve got a new iPod [classic] to be used exclusively for the car. But before getting to that, I’ll just mention quick the overall “theme” I decided to apply.

Very simple: all black – right down to the seatcovers. It really looks so clean that way. If you have regular seats (i.e. not leather), try getting black seatcovers for them… I swear you won’t regret it. Plus, they don’t stain as easily (or at all for that matter hahahaha).

The funny thing is, the stock seats are already black… and for my particular model, the dealer actually advised not to put seatcovers – because the front seats have side airbags (which bust out from the seats). I guess seatcovers can get in the way of deployment. But I still ordered a set of black seat covers. Right now, they’re only installed on the backseat. I have to bring them to a taylor and have them altered to accommodate the airbags before I can use them – as soon as I find out exactly where they bust out from. Read More

That’s what you get…

… when you’ve got nothing better to do.

Cris was out with her fellow teachers on a trip to Baguio for the weekend, which meant I was home alone the whole weekend.

I used the downtime as an opportunity to fix my iTunes library some more – but with twenty-plus thousand songs, obviously it’s still not done. Then idle thoughts started creeping in… Read More

Car talk

I’ve accomplished about 98% of what I intend to do with the new car. I was supposed to post this when everything was done, but there’s been a delay on the two “parts” I’m waiting on.

You have to understand that this is essentially my true “first car.” I have this wierd OC-ness with hand-me-downs/2nd hand stuff… I basically don’t like them. I like brand new stuff because I’m the type of person who really takes care of the things I own 1 That’s the reason why people like buying my used items; because they’re almost certain that whatever I sell them will be in excellent condition

That’s why I was never attached to any of our other cars, either they were 2nd hand, or brand new but had to be shared with my sister, etc. etc. I could really never bring myself to care (or spend) for something I know other people have dibs on hahaha. That’s just the way I am.

This car on the other hand, is one I had chosen myself, I had acquired myself, and have full control over. If something breaks… I know it was because of me – because there’s no one else to blame… and I wouldn’t mind spending to fix it. Read More
