02.18.07How to remove scratches from your iPodOr at least: how to remove some scratches from your iPod. I have never bothered to protect my iPod with loads of covers and stuff. I have the device because I want to use it and it is just too much of a hassle if I have to remove covers and stuff from the iPod every time I want to dock it in the car or at home. So it ends up with a lot of scratches. No big deal. They're very visible in certain kinds of light but not really a problem when using the iPod. Still, when I found a ...

04.17.06How to roast your own coffeeYears ago while travelling the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia I found a lady selling green coffee beans in a market. As you can see from the picture she was also selling wonderful spices, but it was the raw coffee beans I was interested in. I instantly decided that this is something I have to try. Roasting my own coffee. I bought one kilo. The lady did not speak any english and kept repeating "goreng, goreng!" At that point I didn't understand what she was trying to communicate, but later on I learned that "goreng" means roast or braise. Like in ...

04.06.06Perfect adjustment of your LCDWhen connecting my QPVision 37" LCD to my media center through DVI I had no problems running the native resolution of 1366x768 on the screen. This gave me one-to-one pixel mapping and a completely sharp picture. However, my friend Staale ran into some problems that seem to be quite common. He did some tests and created a simple and very effective test pattern that can help you find the right resolution. It seems like quite a bit of LCD screens that has a resolution of 1366x768 report to the screen cards that the correct resolution is 1360x768. Seems like a small difference, ...

11.16.05How to program the buttons on your MCE RemoteSome of the Windows Media Center remotes has the ability to control other hardware in addition to the Media Center. The most common one is the one in this picture. On that one you can program the "TV"-button and the Volume-button.

07.06.05How to close all programs on a Nokia 6630 or 6680Quite often I get a stupid message on my Nokia 6630 telling me that there is not enough memory and that I should close some programs. With no task manager and no simple way to know what programs are running this is a very annoying message! But, there actually is a very fast and simple way to close all programs. Simply open the memory card cover and close it again. As you might have noticed the Nokia actually closes all programs when you do that (to prevent loss of data if you remove the card).
