No I didn’t die. My mother actually did, but that’s neither about tablets nor technology.
Until some weeks ago I was still using my trusty Fujitsu T4210/15 as my main mobile computer and the TC4400 slate I built myself also saw some use from time to time. But the hinge of the T was obviously starting to show its age after …..
Actually, the market has pretty much changed in the last couple of months and currently there’s some things on the market that are better than what I ended up building. But let’s start somewhere else…
You might remember, from the times when I had updates on a regular basis, that I own some TabletPC. After putting in some newer hard disk …..
The last weeks the speaker box has been in use and proved to do quite well, with a notable exception. While the speakers were able to produce actual bass, they started to distort quite early.

Anyway, I currently lack time to find this out in detail and there’s some upcoming tasks at work that are prone to …..
Then you can follow me on Twitter. Click here if you got nothing better to do. There’s occasional nerd talk, comments unsuited for minors and random bullshit. I don’t recommend following me, but shameless advertising is hip these days – so I give it a try.
I also noticed that whenever I post two things close after each other nobody visits …..
So I soldered and cut a bit and believe or not, this picture shows an operating device!
The front of the PCB with the mouse buttons and one of the sensitivity buttons has been cut off. Those buttons have to be glued in position and wired manually. You see them lying in the left of the mouse’s PCB in the base …..
