Bug Fix to Minecraft Warden
After deploying the Minecraft Warden to my friend’s server we found some issues with placing it into production. I think I missed a commit->push because the same use-case was working fine on my system.

Tire Weather Website
For some time now, I’ve been thinking about building a quick website to help my fellow enthusiasts in Canada to decide on whether or not they should install their high-specification summer tires.

Testing PiggyBack Tunes on a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
I have finished editing a quick video that I made when I saw an opportunity to run an HPSI Unichip Stage 2 on my car (once again!). I am currently using a Seletron ChipBox and definitely enjoy it’s additional boost, however, that HPSI tune literally wants to tear your face off any chance it gets.… Continue reading Testing PiggyBack Tunes on a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
