EDIT: Link does not seem to cause trouble any more at least with the current version! In my quest to make my system sleepable, I found out on my last post that TPM chips can cause instability. Unfortunately, whilst this solved most issues, there were still times where when the display would turn off to save power, if I tried…

My early new year’s resolution…
… is 3840×2160 😉 . I used to have 3 monitors side by side and then decided that it really wasn’t comfortable despite the love I had for the real estate they offered. After researching a bit on 4K a few months ago, I decided that they were too expensive to seriously consider; a thought that crossed my mind…
Fixing a cheap guitar – Marble effect
I got rid of this guitar now. Its horrible fret access thanks to the Fenderesque bolt-on neck did it for me. I still have five other guitars that are not played nearly enough, so that’s not too big of a loss. Well, I rarely ever find the need to write about anything, since, unless I do find anything that’s…
Holy Tonewood
I have a problem with unsubstantiated claims that are based on “personal experience”, belief or statements “simple and/or obvious knowledge” which are in turn non-provable in the lab. This especially applies to musicians who seem to find all kinds of differences and using “experience” in order to convince everyone else about what’s the proper way to do things.
LSR Guitar Machine Heads/Tuners
Last month I bought a few guitars to add to my collection. One in particular was a Jackson JS32T Rhoads, a cheap Flying-V style guitar. I decided to make this my project guitar and replace the cheap parts with better ones.
Οι Αυθαίρετοι
Πριν από 23-24 χρόνια όταν ξεκίνησε η ιδιωτική τηλεόραση στην Ελλάδα, ένα από τα πρώτα ιδιωτικά κανάλια πρόβαλλε μία ανατρεπτική για τα δεδομένα τηλεοπτική σειρά. Τους Αυθαίρετους. Οι Αυθαίρετοι λοιπόν ήταν μια σειρά με μια πολύ απλή θεματολογία: Είναι δύο οικογένειες, του Αντρέα Χατζηγιώργη και του Κώστα Χατζηγιώργη (ουδεμία συγγένεια, αλλά όχι τυχαία συνωνυμία) οι οποίοι ζούνε στην ίδια πολυκατοικία…
Προσέξτε τι διαβάζετε!
Υπόψη, αυτό γράφτηκε πολύ πριν η φράση “fake news” μπει στην καθημερινότητά μας.Οι παρατηρήσεις ισχύουν το ίδιο όμως. Μια ενδιαφέρουσα παρατήρηση που έχω κάνει είναι ότι το ελληνικό internet και κυρίως η ελληνική blog σκήνη τελεί υπό κατάληψη από εθνικιστικά στοιχεία. Είναι χαρακτηριστική μάλιστα η επιρροή τους, που ένα θέμα το οποίο ανεβαίνει σε ένα από αυτά τα sites, αυτόματα…
South Park’s sleazy message
I am somewhat of a South Park fan. The spiritual child of Matt Stone & Trey Parker, usually manages to crack me up and it helps when their points they make and the jabs they take are effective. I find myself disagreeing with some of the messages its creators try to shove in our heads however. Let’s have a look…
