Bruntingthorpe 2005

Yes! Time to dig out a lid and spare the tyres… we are heading to Bruntingthorpe again on Saturday the 18th of June.

Last years event was a great success and I am glad BRISKODA is organising it once more. It sure is addictive this brisk driving ;)

Oh, and in case you’re wondering… No, I’ll not be applying any stickers this time :)

Project Bling

Ever had the desire to display your digital pictures in a frame without going through the hassle of printing them and re-framing? My inspiration came from the write up on Applefritter and I decided to take the plunge and destroy a hand-me-down IBM Thinkpad 560X in the name of science ;)

Over the space of a couple of days, I disassembled the laptop and carefully assembled only the bare minimum required parts on the back side of a wooden picture frame. I’m quite pleased with the result if I say so myself :)

We start off with an old laptop, and remove all the plastics to get it as thin as possible. Make sure you test the laptop after you finished.

Now it is time to slowly put everything together again inside the pictureframe.

Make sure that you can still access the vital ports on the laptop after it is closed.

Until I’ve sorted out a proper on/off solution this little stick will do just fine ;)

And finally, this is what the finished product looks like.

Have a look in the gallery for some more pictures
