Fixing Pioneer Monitor 10R

DIY changing Fiat Stilo speakers

I recently bought a kettle which is nicely designed and it matches the toaster. It operates like this: To open the metal lid the black button needs to be pressed and the lid pops open. To close the lid, a metal part of the lid needs to be pressed down (since closing it with a

Migrating s9y to WordPress

It took me some time to dig into it but finally managed to migrate. Serendipity is a nice blog platform that served me well for 10 years. But I couldn t find a theme that would suite my needs and be responsive. So I decided to move. Here are the steps I took: Download the WordPress
