Dresser,  Sorry about the quality but my cell phone is just a cheapo.  This is not mine, they were made by someone I know.  Greater looking than the photos show.  You can find him at http://www.artinwoodworking.com    check his work out.

I can't change the laws of physics

I got it back together and broke the back light bulb again, then the other laptop's hard drive went bad.  Solution...transfer files that run the older hard drive from the failing hard drive to the good drive.

Once I get the good drive out I can transfer the files to it from the bad drive then I can put the newer drive in the older laptop.  After I got it all set up I can put the newer hard drive in the older laptop.  Now I've added 2 meg of ram, a faster, bigger hard driver and cleaned the older laptop.

End result...works good.

It's Dead Jim!

Just like Star Trek, hopefully like Star Trek I will be able to bring it back to life.  In Sci-Fi dead is not always dead.

I got a new bulb for the back light of the lcd and am having trouble putting all back together, my short fingers can be a problem with these tiny screws.  Getting the bulb in just the right place is a problem as well.

Does any one use Google voice as their phone service?  I know you can use an ata adapter like 

OBi100 VoIP Telephone Adapter and Voice Service Bridge

Anyone use Nettalk? I have been looking into both. Canyoudougit

Broke the laptop

I dropped the laptop a few times over the last year so the other day when I picked it up the screen went over backward...CRACK.  So I went on ebay and order two new hinges then I thought...I'll replace the lights while I have it open and why add a web cam into the frame.  What the heck I might as well replace than worn out battery.  

This is the broken hinge, you can see the broken part on top.  I got the new hinge in place without much trouble, but the other parts.  The new light was hard to get into place and I broke it, went to the extra hinge I got and Yes I broke that one also.  Now I can not use the laptop as I have to lights for the display.  If it didn't work so well I would not have thought of fixing all this stuff, now I will have to buy more lights and start over with the repairs.  I just stuffed it away until the lights get here.  If I where rich I would take it to a shop to have them put in.  Canyoudougit

All the snow at once

In the news on KARE 11 they say we got 16 inches of snow yesterday and I just finished shoveling the driveway out.  I stopped and watched a movie off YouTube  it was an older Christmas movie that we had seen but can not find anymore.   I wanted to get the driveway cleaned up because they say we are going to get cold weather next and I do not want to be out there in the cold.  The cold hurts.

Tag I'm It!!

I got tagged yesterday my MESA (a health study group) for a sleep study, have been doing this for about 15 years. Will have to wear this fancy watch for a week then they will come get the watch and download all the data.  It looks like the phone watches you see on eBay if your on a GSM network (AT&T or T-Mobile or phones that use their network). 
 I finally got this old computer to work, I ran some tests on it, figured  out that the memory was way to low and the hard drive was just stopping.  I had an older ide drive that was newer than this one so it was bigger and faster.  I hooked up my cable, transferred the systems I needed to run this computer than spent the last two days updating it.  I saved the hot fixes I needed in an email file on line so was able to run updates that are of date and not available.
The one thing about this old laptop is that it puts all it's heat out the bottom, great if you like a hot pad and don't want kids.

Cost of ink

I figured out that ink for my printer costs over $11000 a gallon, the little cartridges are $13 each.  I decided to try continuous ink system with the ink costing 3 cent a ml instead of $3 per ml. The jars just sit along side of the printer and is filled there, the ink is sucked into the print heads through the little pipes.

This is the ink jars, you can see the pipes that go around to the front.

This is a photo of the ink cartridges that the pipes connect to, see how they run under the snaps that hold the ink cartridge in place, the cartridges are made the same as the originals but are clear and have the hoses hocked into them.  
        From $3 a ml to 3 cents a ml, boy I love to save money....canyoudougit????
