Tip of the Week!

Last week managed to drop yet another bluetooth headset in water and as expected it stopped working!
I was a lil disappointed as I had take great care since my last disaster and I had pulled this out instantly! But alas, that 1 second dip was enough for the thing to conk-off :-(

Anyways, was talking about this to bandhu (Mr. SA, my good pal in office) and he offered me some very interesting piece of advice...keep it in the freezer overnight and in the morning keep it in the sun! Yes, I could not believe my ears that he had just asked me to put a piece of electronic equipment in the freezer!! Well, I decided to give it a shot...i had nothing to lose and a minimum of 60 bucks to save! Next day took the headset out and kept it in my car the whole day (yes, it is that freaking hot these days)...went home, charged it and Voila! it started working!!!

And guess what, the dude has tried this with his cellphone and some other stuff and it has worked each time!

so the next time you drop some electronic item in water, head straight for the refrigerator! :-)

-uv.

p.s. don't forget to remove the battery (if any) before freezing it :-D

Positives!

I am a subscriber of AWAD and the person who manages it, manages to send words with interesting themes each week and he follows it up with a weekly digest of sorts where he collects interesting reader feedback. This weeks theme was : Forgotten positives and the featured words were:
evitable, wieldy, exorable, gainly, corrigible (spell-check is reporting the first 3 of these words as misspelt words!! :-) )

Reading this week's feedback i came upon this very interesting bit of poetry (no am not becoming a poem lover :-p)

A very Descript Man .... J H Parker

I am such a dolent man,
I eptly work each day;
My acts are all becilic,
I've just ane things to say.

My nerves are strung, my hair is kempt,
I'm gusting and I'm span:
I look with dain on everyone
And am a pudent man.

I travel cognito and make
A delible impression:
I overcome a slight chalance,
With gruntled self-possession.

My dignation would be great
If I should digent be:
I trust my vagance will bring
An astrous life for me.

It is a wonderful piece of work mainly because it uses only positive words! try coming up with a piece which uses only positives and you will hopefully appreciate this as well...:)
