It has already been four years since I quit smoking. Now, what should I buy myself to celebrate this year?

15:24 on Sweetmorn, 55 Confusion YOLD 3173 by last.fm Yello's Similar Artists
last.fm Yello's Similar Artists I turbocharged my LifeDrive today, by replacing the internal Microdrive with a CompactFlash card instead.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2898.jpg)
The rubber feet covering the torx (T5) screws had already fallen off of my unit due to heat a long time ago, but unless they have they need to be removed first.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2899.jpg)
The two torx screws can be easily removed with a T5 screwdriver.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2900.jpg)
The metal casing is held by six prongs along its side and bottom edges. Press the plastic sides of the device to release them and crack it open.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2901.jpg)
Metal casing removed reveals two more torx screws at the bottom corners of the device, holding the inner casing in place.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2902.jpg)
Before removing the inner casing the speaker wire needs to be disconnected.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2903.jpg)
The inner casing removed, revealing the main PCB of the device with battery, Microdrive and SD-card slot visible on top.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2904.jpg)
Disconnect the battery wire before continuing.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2905.jpg)
After cutting the WARNING! WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED sticker, the Microdrive can be unplugged from the connector. Remove the blue spacers from the Microdrive and keep for reassembly. Use whatever tools to make a disk image copy to the replacement CompactFlash card.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2906.jpg)
Attach spacers to CF card and connect to the drive connector.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2907.jpg)
Reconnect battery. Now the LifeDrive performs a reboot from the CF card, takes about 30 seconds instead of 2½ minutes from Microdrive. Wait for it to complete and shut the device off with the powerswitch.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2908.jpg)
Reattach inner casing and metal casing in reverse. Don't forget the speaker wire.
![[photo]](/foto/thumb/IMG_2909.jpg)
Enjoy a turbocharged LifeDrive experience. Unless you bricked your device, in which case you should've been more careful.

The other day I was discussing the need for non-gregorian paper calendars (for confusion inducing office decorations if nothing else) and on this fine Syaday I stumble across a printable wall Kalendar that's supposedly updated every year: 3173 Kalendar!. Everything is already done and googleable.

The Gathering
Well I guess it's suiting that the only redeeming quality of The Gathering (2002) was Christina Ricci, since the reason I picked the movie was seeing CR was in it while skipping past trailers on some other bad DVD.

Grand tour of the non-euclidean maze of a building where I'll be feeding the flextime troll, interleaved with watching other people fight the bureaucrazy to get me everything I need, and just a bit of information overload. Not too bad for a monday.

shuffle mix in the psp Last Train to Z'ha'dum Central
...well, at least the last train paid by my current employer.
Going there and back again today to return laptop, phone and ID badge. Last thing I did yesterday was setting all my VMS accounts /FLAG=DISU and prepending a * to my Unix passwd fields. So this will be the very last thing I officially do and the ultimate friday of this chapter.
Kind of mixed feelings, but mostly good, to leave the past almost 7½ years work behind me and start on something completely new but still somewhat the same.

It's 15 °C outside at midnight, in mid April! Almost too good to be true.
Too bad it also rushes the pollen pest into overdrive... with birches now having a bukkake fest all over the place.

inspired Seeing polarization with the naked eye
According to "Haidinger's brush: the unknown sense", it is possible to learn how to exploit a bug in the human eye and gain the ability to see the polarization of light.
Edit: Indeed it is not only possible, but also easily tried by staring at a large white area on an LCD monitor. Incredibly cool!

depressed FFXII induced manic-depressive disorder
Yesterday I spent almost 12 hours straight playing FFXII, before settling down at a calm save point after realizing what time it was, cursing the fact I had to be at work today. After work today I picked it up again, and shortly after ran into one of those love-to-hate-FF-for - an order of magnitude more impossible to beat than the previous - boss monsters; at which I failed and failed and failed again. Just like real life.
