Inkjet DIY – How to Make a Self-Filling Inkjet System for Your Inkjet Printer!

max — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:30:36 +0000

One thing I don’t like about inkjet printer companies such as HP (although I love their products) is that ink itself can be more costly than the printer itself. No matter what, HP isn’t going to make a self-filling inkjet system as it’s going to take a big bite out of their ink sales.

Don’t worry though, there’s a step-by-step guide you can follow to accomplish this so you never have to buy new ink ever!

It beats me why CIS systems are so expensive, the ozi exchange doesn’t help but even so…. I was quoted AU$875.00 INC GST for a CIS kit (this includes some ink that I don’t want anyway). I could probably have imported a kit myself for half this amount but even this is expensive.
It took me a week and 5 versions of the prototype to figure it out but I’ve now printed a dozen perfect prints using a CIS which costs under $20 in parts and under 2 hours to build. The proof of concept prototype is not pretty but it works. My house now looks even more like a war zone, I look like I’ve been finger painting and people keep laughing at my creation – but it is all worth it.

Photography DIY – How to Make a Fish Eye Lense for Nikon DSLR!

max — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:24:01 +0000

Wow, here’s a really innovative way to convert your Nikon DSLR into a fish-eye camera that can take some really awesome lookin’ photos.

I got the inspiration to do this Instructable while reading another Instructable that accomplished the same “fish-eye” effect using a PVC reduction pipe and an entry door viewer.

There was concern in the prior Instructable about around scratching the lens so I wanted to solve that problem in my easy to build fish eye lens as well as make a version which is easy to use, remove, etc.

I decided to modify the design by using an existing camera attachment which would easily mount to the camera and comes with most Nikon lenses.

Once the batteries were installed and the dongle was plugged in, the mouse worked flawlessly from up to 5 feet away. No software or driver was required. It also worked well in my tests with the latest Windows 7.

As a person who’s running a start-up myself, I do highly believe that your success has everything to do with people you hire. Of course, my favorite tip is “hiring athletes.” I just happened to be playing competitive pro golf before I dived into the corporate world so…

Here is a bit of timeless wisdom from Warren Buffet. He advises that, when hiring, look for brains, energy, and integrity. But if the people you find don’t have integrity, the other two qualities will kill you.

XP Hack – How to Downgrade from Windows Vista to XP!

max — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:20:36 +0000

Believe it or not, my favorite OS is still Windows XP. I have a secret setup that allows me to get no viruses nor spyware. Well, I can’t tell you that but here’s another tip on how to downgrade from Windows Vista to XP. (I’ve mentioned last time how to do it but this is if that doesn’t work.)

Yes, your computer will be more reliable with XP if you are on a PC. LMAO. :p

When PC starts press F2 to go into ‘Setup’ Options.
Go to ‘System Configuration’
Select ‘SATA Opreation’ which configures the operating mode of the integrated SATA hard drive controllers.

There will be three options.

Disabled (SATA controllers are hidden)

ATA (SATA is configured for ATA mode)

AHCI (SATA is configured for AHCI mode)

I had Windows VISTA at this Laptop but I wanted Windows XP for a while. Whenever I was trying to install Windows XP; it gave me ‘Blue Screen of Death’ and the system had to be rebooted.

What I had to do from Setup Options; I changed the configuration of above setting from AHCI to ATA.
I was able to install Windows XP, alright. Changing this setting will disable your old installed OS to run and you have to reinstall the OS again anyways.
Okay that’s it.

$1.3M Patek Philippe Geneve Watch!

max — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:52:52 +0000

Here’s a Patek Philippe Geneve watch that is retailing for $1.3 million. WOW, I would really love to get this watch as it’s so cool, the watch even has dials on the back!

When I make $100 million dollars one day, I will get myself one of these watches. Wouldn’t you?

Details:

The Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon watch is an extremely rare, highly complicated timepiece created by one of the world’s best recognized manufacturers.

Long regarded as a collector’s piece the Sky Moon Tourbillon (made up of 686 hand made internal components) is limited in production to roughly 2 pieces per year. The rear face of this watch features a complete presentation of the nocturnal sky with a host of astronomical displays such as star movement, moon orbit and moon phases.

The watch incorporates several complications such as the perpetual calendar (with retrograde date display), minute repeater, a hidden tourbillon, and sidereal time display.

A fact that is not apparent by simply viewing photos of the watch is it’s indication of hours, quarter-hours, and minutes by using it’s own internal acoustic sounds that are clearly audible.

Much technology has been implemented into this sophisticated mechanical watch which is encased in 18K rose gold. It is a truly mesmerizing piece that, as all complicated Patek Philippe watches have, will increase in value as the years pass.

Press Release:

A Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon watch valued at $1.3 million is available for a limited time at SoKoBe.com.

The Sky Moon Tourbillon watch by Patek Philippe is so complicated that only two are produced each year, making the watch extremely rare. Patek Philippe is one of the world’s most recognized watch manufacturers, and the Sky Moon Tourbillon is truly a collector’s piece. SoKoBe.com is a high end jewelry company fortunate to get its hands on this watch and make it available to the public.

The Sky Moon Tourbillon is a luxury jewelry piece made up of about 694 handmade pieces. Each gear is hand polished which reduces friction and adds to the watch’s precision and longevity. It is the first double-faced wristwatch and is one of the most complicated wristwatches of all time. One side features a perpetual calendar and the other side features a presentation of the nocturnal sky with displays of star movement, moon orbit and moon phases.

There is no doubt that cycle helmet saves lives, especially now that so many more people are using bikes the frequency of accidents is going to be more and it is a sad fact that somebody coming off a bike is going to get hurt.

But just by being safe, does not mean that you cannot have a bit of fun, that’s where these cycle helmet toppers come in. these are funny and cute animal shapes that fit onto the helmet, they do not interfere in the safety aspect of the hat, but that do add a little bit of individuality to it.

Real or not real?

David Allen — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 17:00:44 +0000

Sometimes something comes along that either too good to be true, or just too way out to be true. Now this chain saw is supposed to be powered via the USB port, which simply begs the question why would you want a chain saw in the office or home?

Of course, according to the website this product launches in September at a cost of around $60, the price is about right for an electric powered chain saw. However, we are still not convinced about this one, there are too many things wrong with this, and so what do you think?

Eee PC Hack – How to Add Twitter/Facebook/Etc Status LEDs!

max — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:40:04 +0000

As I’ve mentioned, Eee PC 1000HE is probably the best netbook on the market today, that’s why I have one. If you got one of these mini beasts, you might want to also know that it’s possible to hack it with status LEDs that can tell you when your friend tweeted you on Twitter or even get notified when someone write on your Facebook wall.

This is an interesting little modification that i have completed on my EeePC901. Based on an Atmel aTiny45 processor it’s function is relatively simple, but as it is built from scratch, the build took some interesting twists and turns. Not only that, but it also has a nice little social story that for me was part of what made it such an engaging little project.
