Updated movie collection is online

March 28th, 2010 Raphael No comments

Using DVDpedia, I have placed online our list of movies.

The template used for the export is Antracite but with some tweaks. First, I have created my own banners using different covers. Then I have changed few things on the index and details page.

The statistics page was not included in this template so I have added it (meta tag and link on the page).

Home cinema shelving unit from Ikea

January 16th, 2010 Raphael No comments

I wanted to perfect my modest home cinema installation for a while. Up until recently, the projector, BluRay and DVD players, wii and sound system was behind the couch on a cheap shelving unit. The problem with this setup was the height (no one tall could sit in the middle), space (everything was on the 2 top shelves, the rest was unused, blocked by the couch).

I found in Ikea the BRODER range, it allowed me to have 3 sturdy shelves (max load 4o Kg). The posts are 204 mm high. The all thing is fixed (2 screws) on the top of the door so it is easy to remove leaving no traces/holes.

Review of Rev'It gear and feedback on Cayenne Pro Jacket

November 8th, 2009 Raphael No comments

Last February, I bought a full set of Rev’It gear: Zero H2O gloves, Apache Boots, Cayenne Pro jacket (with the back protector) and pants. See catalog for details.

After over 8 months of testing, during which I’ve ridden in Arizona in March (for desert’s heat and chilly mornings), in Tyrol in June (hot-wet stormy weather) and in Dublin for my daily commute, I am confident I have wear it enough to give an overview of the gear. Read more…
