The small plastic at the end of the shoelace is called an aglet When they break or fall off, there are several ways to repair them. You can use tape, but it wont last long. You can use shrink plastic sleeves, tie together with sewing thread or other imaginative methods, but how much time and effort do you really want to spend on a shoelace?
Warning: Compressed air is dangerous. You are responsible for your own safety. Fire extinguishers can cause massive damage if activated indoors.
Canned air is nice for blowing clean PCs and other things for dust, but the cost of those disposable cans quickly add up.
A fire extinguisher should be replaced or have an expensive service after 10 years. Service and refilling costs the same as a new one, so what to do with the old one? The short boring answer is to deliver it as special waste at the nearest depot, but are there better alternatives?
The tank of a standard fire extinguisher is usually rated at 15 bar. How about a handy compressed air tank for the small jobs where the compressor is cumbersome to carry around? Converting a fire extinguisher to a portable compressed air tank is easy and straightforward.
Although it is better with freshly ground French pressed coffee, sometimes instant coffee is all you have. How do you make the best possible coffee from instant coffee?

It might be nice to write in English, so that the whole world can benefit from what I write, but it can also be nice to write in my native langauge – Norwegian.

My original Samsung battery for my S3 mini died after just one year. I’ve had good experience with cheap batteries from eBay before, but the replacement I bought this time made my phone behave rather unstable. That’s why I thought I’d take an X-ray of them to see how different they where.
In my series x-ra of stuff. This is a X-ray of my Asus TF300t and the keyboard dock.
My 2-year old recently broke the glass on my TF300T. The tablet is a couple of years old, so it’s a little bit on the expensive side to have it repaired by ASUS, so I decided to have a go at fixing it myself. After googeling a bit I decided to replace my 5158N digitizer with the G01. This will require rooting the tablet and updating the digitizer firmware. If you don’t want to go through that trouble, find and order the exact same model digitizer you have in your tablet. Here is how I did it, and what I’ve learned.
DISCLAIMER: This is a difficult repair. Don’t blame me if you try this yourself and mess up your tablet even more!
Nothing is as good as homemade bread. It does not get easier than this recipe. Takes only 5 minutes to make the dough. Perfect results every time.

It’s usually a good thing when I pick up my phone and it has upgraded one of the apps to a new version. However yesterday I was in for a big disappointment when Runtastic had been upgraded to version 4.0.
My visual editor has not worked for sometime. Don’t exactly know from which update. It at least did not work in 3.5.1 and 3.5.2. Did some googleing and found several posts with many solution, but none of them worked for me. Tried adding the line to wp-config.php: define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); Cleared browser cache and … Read more
