[4:26] <Mrkva_> hm, TB is much more heating with latest OS... I almost can't keep my finger on the board
[4:27] <Mrkva_> and screen is hot too
[4:27] <Mrkva_> (from the board)
[4:28] <leinir> Well, it's pushing the clock to 750MHz...

[4:29] <Mrkva_> well, its only 150MHz more
[4:30] * edt (~Ed@cl-117.bos-01.us.sixxs.net) has joined #touchbook
[4:30] <leinir> Well, it's 25% more... which is really sort of a lot :)
[4:31] <Mrkva_> yeah, from this point of view... :)
[4:31] <leinir> And, not to forget, there's a lot of stillstanding air in that box which would insulate the thing nicely
[4:32] <Mrkva_> yeah, but hot screen quite sucks :)
[4:32] <Mrkva_> well, on the other hand, it was running with screen closed
[4:33] <leinir> Yeah, it does :)
[4:34] <Mrkva_> well, winter will be here soon :) so I think I'll appreciate it then
[4:35] <leinir> *giggles* :)
[4:35] <Mrkva_> but to be honest, I'm a little bit afraid it will have a huge impact on battery life

[12:16] <Maeslin> busted hinge cover?

[12:18] * Martix (~martix@4.177.broadband3.iol.cz) has joined #touchbook

[12:45] <Maeslin> ouch
[12:46] <Maeslin> maybe reinforce the plastic with JB-weld?
[12:47] <Maeslin> I know that by itself it's pretty brittle, but I've found that if instead of using it 'pure' you add fiber to the putty the end result is a lot more resilient
[12:48] <Maeslin> works well with epoxy too, basically you end up with something akin to a solid block of fiberglass
[12:49] <Maeslin> glass fibers being rather messy to use on a small scale, I found that cotton balls work great. (yes, sounds weird)
[12:49] <Mrkva> Maeslin: well, the epoxy I've found was too weak (almost rubber-like)
[12:50] <Maeslin> oh yeah that stuff is no good
[12:51] <Maeslin> you'd need something that gets really hard, even if the result is normally rather brittle
[12:51] <Maeslin> steel epoxy, jb-weld or other no-name epoxy brands work good
[12:53] <Maeslin> tho for the no-name ones it's trial and error really
[12:53] <Maeslin> you never know what you end up with
[12:54] <Mrkva> well, I've tried adding a little bit more hardener. but then it don't hold with the rest of the plastic :D
[12:56] <Maeslin> did you rough up the plastic surface beforehand?
[12:57] <Maeslin> the plastic piece must present a surface where the epoxy can 'grip', won't work if it's too slick
[12:58] <Maeslin> since it's pretty small, using a utility knife or a small razor blade to scratch the surface you want to put glue on should work
[12:58] <Maeslin> or get some of those dentistry metal picks
[12:58] <Maeslin> these work great to reach in small spots and scratch
[12:59] <Mrkva> I know that... and I've done that :) even itched it a little bit with some chemical thing
[12:59] * phcoder (~phcoder@253-174.62-81.cust.bluewin.ch) Quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
[12:59] <Maeslin> ok
[12:59] <Mrkva> (sorry, I'm too lazy to find english word for it)
[12:59] <Maeslin> chemical etchant would very much depend on the kind of plastic used
[13:00] <Maeslin> can you send a picture so I get a better idea of which part is broken?
[13:11] <Mrkva> http://mrkva.eu/~mrkva/MiddlePart.png
[13:11] <Mrkva> sorry, no camera available, so I had to use the picture from the wiki
[13:12] <Maeslin> ok
[13:12] <Maeslin> doesn't really say what part is damaged though :p
[13:13] <Maeslin> oh wait no
[13:14] <Maeslin> it's where the hinge screws in the plastic base?
[13:16] * phcoder (~phcoder@222.110.202.62.cust.bluewin.ch) has joined #touchbook
[13:18] <Mrkva> yeah
[13:19] <Maeslin> hm
[13:19] <Maeslin> the threads in the screw holes are just stripped or completely torn open?
[13:22] <Mrkva> well, the pins that went through the metal part of the hinge are riped off, and the rest inside is also quite demolished
[13:23] <Mrkva> hm, got an idea
[13:23] <Mrkva> wait a sec
[13:24] <Maeslin> the pins --> you mean the flat section the screws go through or just the extension of the screw holes?

[14:32] <Mrkva> but I'm feeling a little bit dizzy... burning plastic is not healthy

[15:30] <alextisserant> yes, but by any chance, if someone is interested
[15:35] <Mrkva> alextisserant: well, I'll maybe try it. but I guess it will be slow as a snail... and I'm quite disappointed there isn't plugin for webkit on Linux
[15:35] <alextisserant> +1
[15:36] <Mrkva> alextisserant: +1 on what?
[15:36] <alextisserant> no plugin for webkit on Linux

[16:32] <Mrkva> and hell yeah! there's something like top battery meter. although it seems to show capacity in 25% steps
[16:35] <Mrkva> okay, not 25% steps, but it almost works like a random number generator
