First glance on CoreOS

CoreOS seems to be gaining momentum. It happens to be available on Azure so I spun up an instance and tried. Once it’s up, ssh to it and then launch a ubuntu docker instance [bash light=”true”]xpk-core01 ~ # docker run -t -i ubuntu /bin/bash root@cf1c4da1b078:/# root@cf1c4da1b078:/# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.

The great JVC HA-FXT208SE

I’ve been using the previous generation HA-FXT90 ever since it first came out. I was really amazed by JVC when they put together 2 dynamic drivers in a compact chassis.  I love the 90 for its deep bass and otherwise balanced sound. The 208SE came out months ago but I only get to read more about…

iBasso DX90 and AKG K550 – Impressive and disappointed

Got my hands on a DX90 a couple days ago, what a DAP. Its dual Sabre DAC delivers a lot of details in all ranges. From the high to the mid to the bass, I’m getting supreme quality. I don’t think there are emphasis on any range, they’re equally impressive. But as a little bit…

These come in handy as I frequently need to know  the time in different timezone. To get the current time in a different timezone, specify the TZ variable [bash] $ TZ=US/Pacific date Thu Jan  8 17:57:08 PST 2015 [/bash] To get the time of your choice [bash] $ date –date=’TZ=”US/Pacific” 01:00′ Fri Jan 9 17:00:00 HKT…

google reCAPTCHA

Google likes to reinvent, against what Einstein once said – simple but not simpler. It’s certainly not simpler on the backend but a pleasure for users. Plugins for WordPress are available, why not give it a spin! reCAPTCHA – https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html WordPress plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha
