RedDragon Gaming Gear.
Well, since we keep talking about RedDragon in other hardware blogs.....
It should be fitting that we get ourselves some RedDragon hardware to try out because after working on Corsair and Razer gear pretty much calling it garbage. We're pretty certain a lot of people get going to ask us
Why S? Why do you like RedDragon so much? Is Eastern Times Technology paying you? - rando
Hah! No company pays this site because they'd have to get ahold of us first. Hardly anyone pays us but ourselves! We're doing this article because we can. It's just that simple. This blog entry will serve as a reference point whenever someone asks me what type of keyboard do recommend. To which they'll probably laugh. Ignore everything mentioned in this article And finally, purchase a name-brand piece of garbage for $200 only to throw it away in 6 months.
But for those who want to hear what my recommendation is then you can read on at your own risk.
So you want to start a blog?
Start a blog? In this day and age? What the hell man?!?
Perhaps one of the three readers might be interested in our advice on how to start a blog. To learn from the mistakes/failures we've made so that you can be an even better blogger. Perhaps even some of the success that we've had, too. It's now been five and a half years since we opened this site, and to this date, we couldn't be happier with the majority of the decisions made here. So, instead of giving little bits of information like "download WordPress," this article aims to approach all aspects of what it takes to be at least a proficient blogger.
We can't call ourselves professional bloggers, as that would involve making money. But proficient is the next best thing in our opinion. It should also be noted that this may not be the happiest article out there. There are a lot of pitfalls and caveats when building a website that could potentially happen. Let's begin!
Adventures in Ebay.
eBay: The story of lies, misdirection, and confusion.
For many who read our blogs, you've probably seen a lot of links going off to eBay for the hardware that we buy. Although there are probably better sources to get cheap electronics such as Amazon. However, eBay has always been our go-to source for a lot of bizarre things. This time around we purchased something rather mundane. What we ended up with is an eBay experience that is almost a teachable lesson on how fucked up business has gotten.
Rollerblade office caster wheels – buyer beware!
We purchased a set of Rollerblade office caster wheels.
We picked up a set of these office caster wheels that essentially have Rollerblade wheels on the bottom of them. Why do you ask?

Some http2 headaches.
Sitting on the bleeding edge with HTTP2 protocols. HTTP2 has been enabled shortly after we purchased an SSL connection. Since we were already running encryption on our blog then why not take advantage of another method that will speed up the site? This blog will continue to be enabled until a better transport protocol comes ... Read more
What the hell twitch?
Dear Twitch streamers,
We're sorry to write up an article like this about Twitch. But we're here to inform you that you as a watcher and a streamer, are human. Not machines! This may come as a shock to some of you out there. However, we urge you to please refrain from reaching up to pull the umbilical cord from your esophagus. It hurts really badly!
Update 09/04/2025:
We gave up on watching Twitch when they introduced commercials mid-stream instead of allowing the streamer to decide when the commercial should happen. When commercials are more important than the content, then a streaming network deserves no one to watch it.
Google, Facebook, Medium, Humanity?
......And so the mask falls off. No one cares, right?
When Cambridge Analytica used a software API to mine for a potential of 50 million accounts from Facebook, which was later sold off to various political parties. The public relations bombshell on the social platform may have shocked some. However, our reaction was not of disgust or shock. But instead of complete indifference. It only confirms what we knew already. Facebook manipulates its user base in a horrific psychological manner to attain a profit. Now you’re getting Ex-CEO coming out, stating that what they did is horrible, trying to apologize to the public. To which the only thing we say to their comments is:
Apology denied!
Linksys E8500 – DD-WRT Router
How we found our E8500 DD-WRT router.
Because of some of the work that we do in the really-real world we tend to work with non-profit accounts which shall remain unnamed for their security as well as our own. But one of the items that were scheduled for recycling/destruction was this Linksys E8500 router. This was super-odd to us because routers like these typically go for almost one-hundred U.S. dollars. Now, it could be dead for all we know! So we decided to take a chance while at the same time giving money to a charitable cause. Fifteen U.S. dollars later it was now in our possession. Time to roll our lucky dice! Read on if you want to know more.
Spam dissection – Episode 003
Welcome to Spam and SEO dissection episode 3!
Oh boy, oh boy, I haven't done a spam dissection in a while! We typically do these once a year or so because spam generally takes a while to cycle out its sales pitches! For those new to our blog, spam dissection is where we show you all of the terrible shit that comes into your typical WordPress user's spam box. Then we turn around and make fun of it all. As fun as the A.I. Generated texts are that make you think that you're on "Feminute" with Infochammel, we're not going to do those. But if we find a few, we might post as honorable mentions! From scammers to spammers, this is the section of our site where we let them have a voice and answer their questions without giving them the credit they think they deserve by embedding links to their websites. Interesting note: No spam articles were ever posted to Spam dissection episodes 1 and 2.
I guess they don't like it when you make fun of them!
Let's keep doing it!
