This post is a rolling journal of discoveries I made since I got myself a new camera. Walking with camera nearly halves my speed Ceilings in shops look really bad and I haven’t noticed if for years

Should I buy wireless headphones?
Well… no. I really wanted to have wireless headphones for running and gym visits, so I got myself a pair of Skull Candy SMOKIN’ BUDS 2 WIRELESS. Those headphones sound good enough for exercise – on par with in-ear headphones I used so far (Sony from Xperia Z and Z3 and Skull Candy buds). But I’m not happy with… Continue reading Should I buy wireless headphones?
[solved] Mac OS X PPTP VPN connects, but not forward traffic goes through
Most hotel wifis are open, so to secure my connections I’ve set up myself a PPTP VPN using QNAS TS-453A box (btw. great machine, get one!) to tunnel all my traffic via encrypted connection.

Bandit the Quadcopter crashed / useless prop guards
And so I crashed today. I flew too far, lost orientation and decided for a firm landing instead of flying away into unknown. I’m glad I haven’t put cameras on this time.

The installation was smooth and first speed check run after installation at noon shown 160Mbps. Wow! As I quickly learnt timing of the test was crucial – the Virgin infrastructure can’t gets congested around 6pm. On… Continue reading Cancel Virgin Media Broadband after installation

My first half-marathon trial
Few weeks back I made a decision to complete a half-marathon this year. I set up myself a realistic goal of completing the distance of 13.1 miles (21 km) in less than 3h. For regular runners it may not seem fast, but for an obese IT pro guy it is. Yesterday I decided to do… Continue reading My first half-marathon trial
This is really mean…
Today I got a leaflet saying people don’t want me to be in this country. This feels really bad :(
DJI Phantom FC40 crashed in the trees
This is my DJI Phantom FC40 hanging 10 meters overhead after I crashed it into a tree. I’ve lost a control in the wind, panicked and it flew. I need to limit the range to 50 meters for training… And the worst thing is I turned off a camera :(
