Garmin GCD firmware update files

Garmin Express sucks. While it works most of the time for its normal software functions, the really critical stuff such as firmware updates don’t work well.
I had to hunt for the GUPDATE file for my Garmin Edge 810 and install it manually.

I finally managed to find the file located at Garmin firmware files.

Just download the appropriate file and copy the GUPDATE into the /GARMIN directory of your device’s main memory. Unmount and Reboot the Garmin and you should see the file getting picked up and installed. The device might reboot a couple of times and finally, it should settle on the normal use screen.

I had to re-pair my iPhone in order to use the Garmin Mobile Connect app again. Language and certain metrics had to be re-set up too. But once its done, everything works fine.

77km Ride in SG

There isn’t much places to ride in Singapore that can get you enough speed and distance. But sometimes, we manage to find a way to clock the distance, and this takes me almost 1/2 way across the island.

Check out some route images. I managed to catch and F-15 Eagle flyby too.

I also managed to to test out stabilised versus unstablized recordings from footages on the GoPro using iMovie

Short-codes for NextGen Gallery

As part of the himiko migration, the links for the images and galleries really broke. In rebuilding the images and links, the short codes had to be recreated.

The preferred shortcode generally used here is as follows.
[Opening SQUARE bracket] ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” [Closing SQUARE bracket]

Old Drawings

Moved to a new server hoping that wordpress would be easier to maintain. lots of old links are now broken due to the migration and lack of maintenance of the old server.

Hopefully, this shift would signal a beginning of a much more stable system to come.

In the meantime, this is a repost of the drawings i have done in my younger days. Only LOTR ones are not actually by me… i can’t remember where i got them from through. I believe it was submitted to me by someone such that i can host it.
