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.

Sprint run SPyderco Manix 2, back from 2009. Missed it then, since i wasn't very interested in Spydercos back then, and now I had to pay the hefty premium for a very rare specimen :) Nice little knife. I really like it. Strange a bit, but hey, it's a Spyderco, so what do you expect. Super comfy handle design, very good steel, and I have a few good mods planned for it. Hopefully all goes as planned. Details in the preliminary review. After modding obviously things will change and I'll update the review accordingly.

Updated the carbon steel section of the Kitchen knives steel FAQ. To be precise, Aogami Super Steel section.

AISI 4130 steel is in the database now. Low alloy Cr/Mo steel, aparently used in swords and large knives, although given it's relatively low Carbon content I wouldn't consider it equal to other popular choices like AISI L6 and AISI 5160. Also added its German equivalent W-Nr 1.7218 steel with exact composition from DIN standard, which has even less allowed Carbon spec.

This time, it's the Crucible CPM S90V steel and Latrobe DuraTech 420PM steel. Not so sure how did they ended up in different reference groups, note on DuraTech 420PM said it was an equivalent of CPM S90V. Fixed now.
