17th November 2010 2

I was so excited when I grabbed this bargain USB from a store, but didn’t share the same feelings when I found that it wouldn’t fit in the USB port while the other port was in use.

The original enclosure, with DIY’d stick

So I took it apart. It was so slim, and without the casing it did manage to get along with my other peripherals plugged into the USB port. I grabbed some transparent heat-shrink from an electronics store, before toasting the USB drive with a hairdryer until the heat-shrink hugged the USB. In fact, at one point the stick got so hot that I feared that the solder on the board would liquefy and render my once operational stick, useless.

    This website is very impressive and professional (references to egestion excluded). I’m no designer myself, rather an aspiring writer, but I know this is worthy of many a “web design gallery”. Keep it up, always great to have some new content on the feed reader

    Damn, I really felt my constant obsession with passing out matter was a real draw card for this site :(
