Halcyon
The Halcyon Eclipse is an amazing wing to dive with, but for us cold water divers with thick gloves, the little string on the dump valve is way too hard to get a grip on under water. It doesn’t come with any knobs or any other help for catching it, since that’s apparently violating the DIR philosophy. On top of that, my dump valve had so sharp edges it cut through the string after 20 or so dives.
The solution is very simple- you just need a dremel and a new, thicker string. The construct of the valve is very simple, only four parts in total. Plus the string.

Switched to Wordpress
Wordpress
Well, after using Joomla! for my blog since March, I got tired of it. Joomla is great for building large websites, but it was way too complicated for a simple blog like this. Also, it’s kind of strange that a open source project got next to no documentation. I had some problems migrating the articles from the Joomla database because of some charset errors from norwegian letters, but have imported the most important stuff now. Using Wordpress is a whole different experience… so easy!
I guess I have to learn hacking Wordpress themes now.
