Not On The Wall XX

Every item in these pictures were all: scavenged, recuperated, formerly disregarded and subsequently thrown away; in an other word trash. 3Com – 3CGSU5 – 3Com Gigabit Switch 5 D-link – DGS-1005D Plexgear – 4 Ports USB3.0 Hub Jabra – SOLEMATE MINI – HFS210 Urbanears – Eathernet cabeles (non-descript) I keep finding more of them and… Continue reading Not On The Wall XX

Not On The Wall XIX

It is yet another discarded artefact. A National Panasonic, Matsushita FM/AM Radio Cassette Recorder – RQ-544SD from the late 70’s or the early 80’s. It is fully functional* and looks brand new. Please see: Not On The Wall Series * Actually the cassette recorder motor seems to have seized. It is easily replaceable, I just… Continue reading Not On The Wall XIX

Sticker

Someone completely unknown (a random person) asked me: Do you ride? Can I put this sticker on your bike? This was the sticker… Princess Yu or simply Princess.

Mission Impossible?

This [message] will self-destruct in 30 seconds. I left my bricked mobile device (an official software update made the device completely non-functional) unattended… this is the actual state that I found said device in. Exploded! The pictures don’t really make the utter failure (by design) suffered by the device full justice. It completely broke the… Continue reading Mission Impossible?

0% Front-break Adjusted

One is harder than the other and the sound is emanating from metal-on-metal – it beats a bell any time and co-incidentally I don’t have… Continue reading 0% Front-break Adjusted

Not On The Wall XIV

Yet a discarded object. It’s a fully functional Asus K55VD laptop (it booted/started and there was actually an active guest account so I could log in) although the charger was missing and the touchpad was broken (I fixed it). It’s cleaned up and running. Salvage from guarenteed destruction. I simply love the machines. Please see:… Continue reading Not On The Wall XIV

0% Front-break, And There Is This Sound

Metal-on-metal; it is steel on aluminium (hence the sound). However, the important thing is to actually remember the break ratio front-to-back… 0% front-break, maybe 50% back and then there is this sound: Ring my beeee-lllll, ring my bell… There’s no bell or reflectors, fenders, lights or any other safety equipment mounted. No racks, baskets or… Continue reading 0% Front-break, And There Is This Sound
