Karabiner setup has gotten longer than I expected, so here’s a separate post dedicated for Karabiner-Elements.
The Mad Tea Party
Inspiring yet Mad Spiels

Gray, a writer.
I Bought Second Anova, and I Shouldn’t Have
Sous vide is an amazing panacea for broken home cooking. You can practically cook everything, including peas and carrots of a dish wish sous vide. Not that I would recommend it, of course.
Karabiner PID Failure Fix
This is not exactly a common issue, but it is an issue that was once mentioned on the GitHub, including myself. Obviously the point of this post is to address any remaining issues. When you launch Karabiner for the first time and the app crash with an error report suggesting failure in creating PID directory,…

Quick announcement. ruined-world.com will no longer redirect you to themtparty.com All emails sent to @themtparty.com will now be forwarded and responded personally by a person named in it. If not named, I’ll be (r26gray@gmail.com) replying it, if you are expecting one. SSL is now available for MTP. If none is showing up on the address bar, try reloading the page. updated Dec 1, 2017: retitled from “Important Update on Email Responses (Merged with 2/14 SSL update)”.
Feb 14, 2017
SSL certificate (TLS and/or SSL) is now available for The Mad Tea Party. In other words, you’ll be connected via https. Most of the browsers will either show a lock icon or a green address bar. If somehow you are still connected via http, don’t worry. By simply adding ’s’ at the end of the http will redirect you via secure connection. If you are here to check on the project I’ve mentioned earlier, I am still working on the details. (haven’t even started coding!)
Compress Multiple Files Separately at Once on Mac
Finding the right compression tools on Mac can be challenging. Most of them require an expensive license, which somehow has gulls to ask for annual subscription and/or upgrade. When it comes to included Archive Utility, it only gets the job half done.
eBay Sniping Can’t Work, Because Reasons
Apparently there is something called “sniping” in eBay, now taken as a community norm. Does it work? In its essence, yes. Does it work on theoretical level? Not really. Let me lay it out bits by bits. eBay is effectively a proxy auction. (not a dictionary term) There is a software that bids on your…
An Argument For Wireless Audio in iPhone 7
Newest turmoil around iPhone is now the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple, at least Phil Schiller believes it is “courage” to remove headphone jack to move toward wireless future. Several arguments had been made against it, and here are some of them that hold up to criticism.
Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Review
The original Mirror’s Edge was about the environment. There was little to no plot, no character development, but you were given rich opportunities to literally run through the city whatever way imaginable. Your main weapon has always been your two feet, and the game did not strip the other options to rally the mission, promising…

Since the new version of Disqus and WP, it had failed to notify me to moderate new incoming comments. Sorry folks, if you had any questions that needed my immediate attention, I simply didn’t get the message. As of now, (like 2 mins ago) Disqus is disabled. Also, I do wish to point out that I’m not planning to enable it anytime soon. Apparently there had been an outcry on what Disqus is doing to “moderate” the comments of a community. updated Dec 3, 2017: retitled from “Disqus Is Temporarily Disabled on MTP”.
How to Bloodborne: Defiled Chalice Amygdala for Noobs
If you can’t kill it with fire, kill it with bolt. This sums up the idea behind Bloodborne. That being said, if you can’t kill it with melee then choose long-ranged. For this video, I chose Simon’s Bowblade.
“Colonial Boomerang” Can’t be Worse Choice of Word
ORIGINALLY ON NYT, SEOUL’S COLONIAL BOOMERANG The issue of comfort women is devastating. Let’s leave it there. Because there hasn’t been a single article that dealt the issue with a proper perspective it deserves. It was Americans who decided to give Japan a slack in American military court, not Asians nor Europeans, both the victims of…

Quick announcement addressed the issue where multiple posts would start loading at once. updated Dec 1, 2017: retitled from “Update: 1/1/15” and summarized the bug report.
How to Hide Time Machine HDD from Desktop
I don’t recommend using Time Capsule for 2 reasons: price and wireless. The price tag is unjustifiable for a router, despite its praised stability. Now with the hint of Apple may be dropping the router line of its entirety, stability is not longer an accountable virtue. At any rate, it is the wireless backup drive…
PS4 Backup “Not Enough Space” Error Solution
Let us all agree on the fact that Sony sucks at doing anything software-related right. Just compare it to its competitions, Xbox, for example. Microsoft is too big of a hurdle? No more excuses. At any rate, I’ve seen multiple posts on different forums suggesting back and forth as to what is the real cause…
