Good times :) Started one custom blade with Watnabe, and this time this is not a kitchen knife, but Hitachi Aogami 2 steel nesmuk. Now, that's gonna be a nesmuk. Two more customs with Phil Wilson, Bohler-Uddeholm M390 steel and Bohler-Uddeholm K294 steel small fixed blades and one mroe still in design process, this time in Bohler-Uddeholm K390 steel. All exotic stuff, nothing less than 64HRC in the end. All super thin edged, high efficiency cutters. Updates as they come in...

Sent 5 Japanese kitchen knives for rehandling to Dave. All 5 handles were made by Stefan, actually han made 7, two were already rehandled this summer, I was a bit lazy to put things together. Also sent Benchmade 710 HSSR McHenry and Williams folder Aluminum slabs for anodizing. The original is 12 years old, and really worn out.

Finally got the shipment from knifecenter. Ordered a while back. Went in there to get Condor machete, and ended up with two small Leatherman multitools, Squirt and Style, small Condor axe, Fenix flashlight, and few other small things. And modded Lumintop Worm flashlight on Sunday. Removed the bottom stand with cutout using a dremel and then smoothed the bottom on the belt grinder. Took about 20 minutes total. Can't say it is perfectly flat, but stands on the bottom just fine. Polished with 0.30 mic Aluminum Oxide abrasive, got nice mirror polish. Pix will follow soon. Preping few more knives to send for modding, exciting times ;)

The bug prevented alloys containing + in the name form being displayed in single alloy mode. Fix is in place. E.g. AISI M3:2+Co steel composition.

For the standard name alloys, identical names from other standards were omitted, fairly common in EU, where DIN, UNI, UNE and often BS standard names are the same for quite a few alloys. Fixed. Complete list of the alloy sis displayed.

Two little, ones, well, one isn't all that little. Lumnitop Worm, Stainless steel AAA flashlight, with CREE XP-E R2 LED in it and XTAR WK30, powered by AA battery and utilizing CREE XP-E LED Q5 LED. Kindda bigger that I've expected, perhaps will make a good present for someone. I do like Lumnitop though, nice cool light, and stainless steel gives it nice weight and solid feel.

Modern browsers still suck in terms of adhering to specs. Fixed damn object tag, seemed to work ok, but no, now broke in Firefox. Got that worked out too. I still hate coding if/else etc based on browser. Even such a basic tag is not the same across the main browsers. Chrome started acting up on java applets too. Hangs every other time, and their runtime is slow as hell...

Back in the day, being a good web developer, I've converted deprecated applet tags to new, HTML5 compliant object tags. Then in 2010 Chrome and safari decided to spoil the fun and screwed up their support for the applets in object tags. Eventually, they fixed it somewhat, although it did take some digging to find the correct solution. And of course I had to consider IE cranks, and all that. Well, all seems to be well, single object tag notation worked for chrome, firefox and internet explorer. I don't really care much for Safari, but hopefully it'll work.

Don't know when exactly did I made a mistake, but Trans Am index page ended up as ballistics index. Reverted back to what it was supposed to be, and added few minor html coding changes implemented site-wide since then.
