What's New?
07/08/08 Reviews on the iGo Juice PSU & the Trust BT-2400p dongle
Two new articles for the somewhat barren reviews section, one about a product with 'Juice' in it's name, another about a tiny Bluetooth 'dongle'.
02/08/08 The electromechanical USB bus reset circuit
Electromechanical huh? Sounds interesting.... but doubtless won't be. As if *five* articles about my webcam weren't enough, I've now added a sixth detailing how I built a circuit to give it a kick up the arse every couple of hours so it doesn't freeze up.
26/07/08 Repairing a LED energy saving light bulb
If I just change each component when it fails, I'll have a light bulb that lasts forever!
23/07/08 Meet the drunken webmaster
I always wanted to
be master of something - preferably without the 'bates' suffix
attached. One day though, when my plans come to fruition, you will ALL
call me master...
21/07/08 The Webcam Cool Project
Flimmin' heck! Who
would have thought the humble webcam could be such hard work? Five
articles (count 'em!!) justifies it having a Cool Project
status all of its own - and all because I had the pie-eyed idea that I
could build a weatherproof webcam and stick it on my TV aerial!
13/07/08 The aquarium bubble light
Yes, I have now introduced electricity to the watery depths of my aquarium. What could possibly go wrong??
10/06/08 XBox 360 Disassembly and (bodged) repair guide
Red Ring Of Death??
What do I care - I own a PS3! Still, the broken one I'm playing with
isn't mine so lets get the hammer out and see what we can fix!
18/05/08 The Evil Eye webcam A tech tip explaining how I installed a webcam using camE on my Linux based Joomla powered website. Wanna see what my camera's looking at?? Relax, I haven't pointed it at anything naked (yet).
12/05/08 iPod Mini disassembly and battery replacement A duff iPod Mini battery has kept me separated from my choonz for a few days - but no longer! 27/04/08 Will my alarm clock wake me up in the morning? It's now been converted to run off my solar power installation so time will tell...
06/04/08 Snow... in April..?? That great British weather strikes again. Still, at least it's not another article on the eeePC.
03/04/08 Installing Conky in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy That title has to take the cake for being one of the most nonsensical on this site. 30/03/08 ASUS eeePC Vodafone 3G access via a Nokia E90 and Bluetooth It took a bit of fiddling, but now I can use my eeePC on the move thanks to my trusty Nokia E90 and internal Bluetooth mod. 13/03/08 ASUS eeePC eeeDora WiFi fix eeePC + Fedora = eeeDora! A nice little linux distro that's worth a look. Unfortunately on my version an update breaks the wireless functionality - but I have a fix and further info here. 02/03/08 ASUS eeePC Bluetooth and internal USB mods This gadget sure is sucking up my time lately (much to my wife's annoyance). I tried explaining to her the benefits of integral Bluetooth and and an extra USB port but she was throwing plates at me at the time...
26/02/08 ASUS eeePC Review & tips and tricks Daughter number one was off school sick today which meant I had to take the day off work to babysit. I ignored her for the most part though and spent my time writing a review on the ASUS eeePC and knocking up a tips and tricks page. Now that's parenting! See the Archive section for older articles.
