Blogs moved to Db.

All three feed generators updated as well. Now they all validate with w3c compliance rules and their specs. Atom feed support upgraded to version 1.0. Other than that it really sux that they can't agree on the single feed format. I like Atom better personally.

Well, too many reviews, so I've decided to create knife review database. Tedious task entering all the data, but worth it.

No more support for older browsers.

I'm dropping support for old browsers on both sites from now. No one really uses them anyway. No new pages will have it, and slowly I'll remove old code as well.

Canon MP-E 65 arrived

The lens is a monster! Never looked that big even closed, but once you open it for 5x magnification, OMG... Looks like bazooka. I took a few shots to test it. Results sucked :( Very difficut to focus at 5x magnification. Now I have to get the angle viewfider from Canon. Quite a money trap all this macro thing :)

Two new reviews in Kukri section.

Added review of 18" Ganga Ram Special(GRS) and the AK Bowie. Galleries for both have been up for a while now.

HDS EDC 60XR received - Today I received HDS Systems EDC 60 XR. Lots of improvements over older Arc 4 and Arc 4p flashlights. Of course the price tag is a match, at 245$. Damn, those pocket flashlights are getting more and more expensive :) I'll write up a review once I use it for a while, but first impressions are good, it is an improvement.
