Lifestream: A great many anticipated movies in the cinema. But with everything that is going on, I cant stomach supporting the industry any longer.

Killing the energy thieves

The 5+1 master/slave netpower block is simply an outlet that automatically cuts off the power supply to the slave outlets when the supply current to the master outlet is severely diminished. Ideal for use with a computer to turn off devices like powered speakers that lack a proper power switch or have substandard transformers that […]

Fenix L2D CE Q5

Got a new flashlight from Fenix after much deliberation. The L2D. A Cree 7090 XR-E LED flashlight with orange peel reflector and a maximum output of 180 lumens. The difference compared to other flashlights that I’ve owned is simply astonishing. The bright, white beam almost seems to light up the air around it.

Uses two […]

Luxdisc order

I took advantage of a newsletter reduction voucher and decided to stock up on some blank media and a few cd wallets. From Luxdisc of course. Because obviously, you still can’t buy blank media in Sweden because of the statutory private copying levy collected by Copyswede. The levy is still 3,25 SEK (plus 25% […]

DSL Upgrade

Finally some positive developments. Greater competition on the broadband market has apparently forced ISPs to greatly lower the price and ease up on the terms for ADSL even when using competing networks. In short, the benefits of TeliaSonera hardware at the switching station at Glocalnet prices. I used to have an downstream / upstream bandwidth […]

DSL Hardware

In order to accommodate the new 24 Mbit ADSL service I had to toss my old Zyxel DSL bridge. Figuring I would still need a stand-alone bridge I went with a new Zyxel model, seeing as I’ve been impressed with the uptime and stability of the old model. I also took the opportunity to get […]

NIM Caller ID

I finally got around to buying this caller ID device that I’ve had my eyes on for a couple of years. I was waiting for the software to mature I guess, seeing as the official development is dead and you have to rely on private NIM owners to further the product. Which they have […]

Philips DVP 5140

Seeing as I didn’t have a way to play digital media away from the HTPC, I bought a DIVX-capable DVD player for the living room. It’s a compromise but it does get the job done at a reasonable price, with maximum user friendliness. I reckoned that since there weren’t any hardware solutions able to […]

AudiaX FM Transmitter

AudiaX DGT-202 FM Wireless Transmitter:

Piece of crap. And it is nevertheless one of the better fm transmitters on the market. Build quality is low. Cord nearly fell off. Battery hatch and compartment are small, fragile. Battery fit is tight and so it needs to be pried from the device. Difficult control knob. Power is far […]

Mp3: Samsung Z5F

I finally decided on a DAP. After much deliberation, I came to conclusion that there will never be a perfect player in a sensible price range. One of the candidate models happened to be on sale and so one thing led to another.
I chose the Samsung 4GB YP-Z5F mainly for its wholesome build quality and […]

Mp3 failure

Still no mp3 player. And as I was walking by a showcase of the current generation of mp3 players at one of my local electronics retailers I was struck with the force of revelation. Seeing mp3 players in the flesh is a lot different from reading specs and brooding over promo shots. I have expressed […]
