On leave from work today, and that gives me some time to do things of my own. Thought of doing some programming, but it doesn’t last long since I’ve had too much of it already last weekend. My handset suddenly dies, and that gives me some ideas on what to do..

The first thing to do surely is to fix the phone (Ok, actually the first thing I did was to search for a new one, but Bangi doesn’t seem to have the phone that I was looking for. Cheapskate!). It’s a five year old phone (almost), and I’m kinda used to unscrew it for cleaning. Use to send it for repair since it hangs a lot and it costed me Rm100+ that time coz I was told few chips need to be replaced. The next time it hangs, I went to the hardware shop and get myself a torx screw-driver set, find myself some cotton bud, and just by cleaning up the dusts saves my RM.. This time it’s more critical than that since it wouldn’t power on at all, and some soldering at the power switch saves my RM again. Btw, the handset is seriously broken thanks to my go-kart marathon during my previous visit to Sabah, and my leave today is just for the same reason, that my rib muscles is injured, and the pain is so bad today that I go and see the Dr (Luv?) instead of going to work. It’s just to get an MC anyway

With my hardware kits all over the place, it reminds me of my chat with my ex manager. At that time he gave me these links:

http://www.unitednuclear.com/laser.htm

And today I’m trying this, which link was also given by him: http://www.7volts.com/magnets.htm

Look at the harddisk magnet that I’ve got from my broken Maxtor holding the pole. If you’re into ordering the magnets and lasers, do let me know And if you enjoy this post, you might as well enjoy this site: http://www.hackaday.com
