2013-12-16 02:55 <nicksydney> wpwrak: after polishing and using alcohol there are major differences http://snag.gy/mzSrg.jpg
2013-12-16 02:56 <nicksydney> wpwrak: this is the result http://ctrlv.in/270952 ...the photo paper still get stuck...this time i peel it off not using water
2013-12-16 02:57 <nicksydney> wpwrak: looks like board was the culprit for the toner not sticking....will test again some more with different paper...the HP photo paper either not working OR i did not apply enough heat
2013-12-16 02:57 <nicksydney> wpwrak: thoughts ?

2013-12-16 03:57 <wpwrak> already in the first picture, the board looks a lot nicer :)
2013-12-16 03:59 <wpwrak> paper disintegrating is now the main issue. maybe you can control that through the paper cleaning process: applying alcohol to the paper's surface and scrubbing off the "jelly" before printing
2013-12-16 04:00 <wpwrak> and yes, you may need to try different papers
2013-12-16 04:00 <wpwrak> the amount of toner may also be a bit too low. can you tell your printer to use more toner ? maybe it's in some "draft" or "light" mode.
2013-12-16 04:01 <wpwrak> you want it to use as much toner as possible. so no "economy", "draft", etc.
2013-12-16 06:03 <kyak> wpwrak: wwhat battery do you use at the moment?
2013-12-16 06:04 <kyak> i'm wondering about the form-factor
2013-12-16 06:06 <wpwrak> right now it's CR2032
2013-12-16 06:06 <wpwrak> are you worried that it may get too big or that it may be too small ?

2013-12-16 06:18 <kyak> when you first said "battery" in your e-mail, i imagined AAA, but then i realized it must something smaller
2013-12-16 06:36 <wpwrak> AAA would make the case about 2 mm thicker. not sure how much it would affect component placement. it would certainly block one of the long sides
2013-12-16 06:38 <wpwrak> my biggest concern with AAA would be leakage. those alkaline batteries always leak sooner or later, except if you use them a lot and thus notice immediately when they're about to expire.

2013-12-16 08:06 <wpwrak> hmm. a usb-attached eval board starts acting up. the pc had a usb mishap earlier, so i reboot it. doesn't help. check cables and/or change port, all look well. usb problems get worse. then i swap the china crap brand usb hub. same result (!). try with/without external power. no change. swap power supplies. no change. connect board direcly to pc: all is well.
2013-12-16 08:06 <wpwrak> connect board via openmoko debug board (which has a hub) to pc: all is well, too.
2013-12-16 08:07 <wpwrak> the only explanation that would sort of make sense is that hub #1 died and hub #2 either died on the spot or was already dead on arrival. what are the odds ?

2013-12-16 09:59 <larsc_> morning
2013-12-16 10:01 <nicksydney> wpwrak: another day another failure for my quest....no joy at getting perfect transfer :(
2013-12-16 10:02 <nicksydney> wpwrak: tried HP photo paper again and clean with alcohol also..no joy....but i'm getting better transfer than before
2013-12-16 10:02 <nicksydney> wpwrak: better transfer because the board is clean up properly but still the toner does not transfer completely and the paper still stuck on the board
2013-12-16 10:03 <nicksydney> wpwrak: looks like it's going to be a steep learning curve
2013-12-16 10:04 <apelete> larsc_: thinking about what to do next, do you think dma might work on the jz4740 usb chip ?
2013-12-16 10:05 <larsc_> I never saw it working, but the ingenic driver had at least some support for it
2013-12-16 10:05 <larsc_> So I think it is worth investigating
2013-12-16 10:06 <apelete> hmmm, didn't notice anything related to dma in the ingenic driver
2013-12-16 10:06 <apelete> larsc_: will take a look at that :)
2013-12-16 10:08 <apelete> I was also wondering about the gcw-zero, since it has an ingenic mips processor
2013-12-16 10:09 <apelete> larsc_ mth: are you still working on it ?
2013-12-16 10:10 <larsc_> mth and pcercuei do I think, I never did
2013-12-16 10:12 <nicksydney> wpwrak: i have set the printing to 1200x1200 dpi
2013-12-16 10:16 <larsc_> apelete: there was some basic dma support at some point
2013-12-16 10:18 <apelete> larsc_: don't know much about implementing dma, sounds like some fun so I'll certainly have a try :)
2013-12-16 10:18 <apelete> for gcw-zero will see with mth and pcercuei when they come around then
2013-12-16 10:19 <larsc_> hopefully most of the dma stuff will be handled by the generic driver
2013-12-16 10:22 <apelete> okay, so it should amounts to writing some more glue for dma and let the generic driver handle the heavy load, I guess

2013-12-16 13:18 <wpwrak> nicksydney: printers often have a separate parameter to control the amount of toner. should have nothing to do with the resolution.
2013-12-16 13:20 <nicksydney> wpwrak: there is a something called 'Adjustment' under 'Printer Options' .. http://snag.gy/Tt4Dl.jpg
2013-12-16 13:20 <wpwrak> nicksydney: maybe visit a printer supplies shop and get a collection of papers. could be that your HP paper just happens to be unsuitable. one thing that's annoying with toner transfer is that it's hard to get the same materials at geographically distinct locations.
2013-12-16 13:21 <nicksydney> wpwrak: the selection in that menu is 'Well Tampered (best)' [ this is what is selected at the moment ], 'Default', 'Accurate Screens', 'Standard'
2013-12-16 13:21 <nicksydney> wpwrak: seems like need to go and buy different paper and also try those ebay papers
2013-12-16 13:21 <wpwrak> (adjustment) that could be interesting. maybe try "default" and "standard"
2013-12-16 13:22 <wpwrak> ah, what's there under "printing quality" ?
2013-12-16 13:22 <wpwrak> and what under "media type" ?
2013-12-16 13:22 nicksydney has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
2013-12-16 13:23 nicksydney has joined #qi-hardware
2013-12-16 13:24 <nicksydney> (printing quality) selection is only Draft and Normal
2013-12-16 13:25 <nicksydney> (media type) Plain Paper, Bond, Bond Side 2, Labels, Light Weight Card, Recycled Paper
2013-12-16 13:26 <nicksydney> wpwrak: another selection in Job Options -- http://snag.gy/DdFgF.jpg
2013-12-16 13:26 <nicksydney> in 'Job Options' there is  a selection Print Quality..perhaps need to change to High from Normal
2013-12-16 13:27 <wpwrak> good idea
2013-12-16 13:27 <wpwrak> is there anything you can set under "ink/toner levels" ?
2013-12-16 13:28 jekhor has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
2013-12-16 13:28 <nicksydney> nothing under 'ink/toner levels'  http://ctrlv.in/271077
2013-12-16 13:31 <wpwrak> sniff :(
2013-12-16 13:31 <wpwrak> anything under "settings" ?
2013-12-16 13:33 <nicksydney> nothing...http://ctrlv.in/271078
2013-12-16 13:33 <nicksydney> only some info
2013-12-16 13:33 <nicksydney> about the printer
2013-12-16 13:34 <DocScrutinizer05> draft is "low toner consumption"
2013-12-16 13:34 <nicksydney> what i'm a bit worried about is the printer driver...because this printer does not have 'official' driver for Linux ... but windows....it has some driver for Red Hat but that also not 100% workable
2013-12-16 13:38 <DocScrutinizer05> you also don't want "halftone", you should try to pick "black&white"
2013-12-16 13:38 <wpwrak> that's always the problem with those low-cost printers. but you already have a ton of options, so the right ones may be there
2013-12-16 13:39 <wpwrak> oh, and how are the results now: does the paper still disintegrate ? and where it doesn't, does the toner stay on the pcb ?
2013-12-16 13:40 <nicksydney> yes the paper still disintegrate with the HP photo paper
2013-12-16 13:40 <DocScrutinizer05> "ink/toner levels" are irrelevant, unless your cartridge is empty
2013-12-16 13:40 <nicksydney> but what i notice now the paper really sticks to some part of the design ... not easily removed
2013-12-16 13:47 <nicksydney> wpwrak: this is the last one i did 3 hours ago http://ctrlv.in/271080 ...this is using some type of plastic-y kind of brochure paper
2013-12-16 13:47 <nicksydney> :)
2013-12-16 13:47 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: yeah, i was hoping there was also an option to influence them (as in "consume faster") there. you never know what ideas GUI designers have :)
2013-12-16 13:48 <nicksydney> wpwrak: this is the one the second time i did using the hp paper http://ctrlv.in/271081
2013-12-16 13:49 <wpwrak> mmh, those brochure papers don't look promising. i don't think i managed to get something quite so bad with any paper :)
2013-12-16 13:49 <nicksydney> trying my hands at any paper that looks plastic-y at the moment :)....need to go to office supplies shop to buy other photo paper
2013-12-16 13:51 <nicksydney> i saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHInpm1AtKU and they are able to really get full blown 100% transfer...I just shook my head in disbelief
2013-12-16 13:51 <wpwrak> yeah. that's how i did it. got about ten different papers and tried one after the other. well, the chinese paper i'm using now was actually recommended by friends. so they did the ten papers routine for me ;-)
2013-12-16 13:52 <wpwrak> (hp 2nd try) no toner at all ?
2013-12-16 13:53 <nicksydney> i removed the toner for the hp 2nd try with acetone...didn't take picture before i remove it :(
2013-12-16 13:54 <DocScrutinizer05> nicksydney: feeding random platic stuff to laser printer or copier will be a sure way to damage it
2013-12-16 13:54 <nicksydney> DocScrutinizer05: true....need to stop doing it ....as tomorrow onwards no more brochure paper :)
2013-12-16 13:55 <nicksydney> wpwrak: check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSxRE0k2D4w ..do you have any idea what kind of paper is that ?
2013-12-16 13:55 <nicksydney> in that video the middle of the paper is transparent
2013-12-16 13:56 <wpwrak> oh, when ironing, your stack is  pcb - transfer paper - regular paper (optional_ - iron, right ?
2013-12-16 13:56 <DocScrutinizer05> I'd try overhead foil for laser printers. It's true plastic, heat resistant, and usually has only one side that's matte so you can expect toner to stick firmly, while the other side is often high glossy and toner will come off easily
2013-12-16 13:57 <DocScrutinizer05> so when you use that overhead foil the wrong way round, you might get a proper printout that actually transfers nicely and peels off
2013-12-16 13:57 <nicksydney> when ironing pcb - transfer paper - iron
2013-12-16 13:58 <wpwrak> nicksydney: (GSxRE0k2D4w) interesting. he's doing it all "wrong" but it still works :)
2013-12-16 13:59 <nicksydney> DocScrutinizer05: so the overhead project plastic paper does work ?
2013-12-16 13:59 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: i think i never heard of that approach. but yes, may be worth a try
2013-12-16 13:59 <wpwrak> nicksydney: you're at the bottom of a deep pit. whatever you do, it can only get better :-)
2013-12-16 13:59 <nicksydney> i have a transparent paper .. can't remember what it was called..bought it from art and craft shop...tried that yesterday but it melt when under iron
2013-12-16 14:00 <nicksydney> wpwrak: thanks for the motivation :)...ahhahaha
2013-12-16 14:00 <DocScrutinizer05> >>The vid refers to the paper as OHP. This may mean "overhead projector" paper. I think this refers to the plastic transparencies used for overhead projectors.<<  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSxRE0k2D4w&noredirect=1
2013-12-16 14:00 <wpwrak> nicksydney: with transparent paper, make sure that it is intended for laser printers !
2013-12-16 14:00 <nicksydney> it's demotivating at the moment for me :(
2013-12-16 14:01 <nicksydney> wpwrak, DocScrutinizer05: will this do ...http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Projectors/Overhead-Projectors/ACPP100C20 ?
2013-12-16 14:02 <nicksydney> would it better bet for me to get overhead transparencies or photo paper ?
2013-12-16 14:02 <DocScrutinizer05> I think I never heard of any other approach than OHP, for toner transfer
2013-12-16 14:03 <wpwrak> nicksydney: yeah, you're having an unusually large amount of trouble there :( by now you should already have reasonably good transfers. maybe nothing yet that you'd actually want to etch, given that anelok is a fairly demanding board, but you should be worrying about things like microfractures by now, not struggling to get at least half of the design to stick to the board
2013-12-16 14:03 <wpwrak> but well, sometimes murphy chooses to become someone's special friend :)
2013-12-16 14:04 <nicksydney> wpwrak: i think it's the chuky world of murphy that choose to be my special friend :)
2013-12-16 14:04 <DocScrutinizer05> and of course toner brand and build is a particularly essential and important factor in this game
2013-12-16 14:05 <wpwrak> that apollo OHP looks good. "most office copiers".
2013-12-16 14:06 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: yes, some printers just suck. the one nick has gotten had been mentioned as suitable, though
2013-12-16 14:06 <wpwrak> and it's the original toner
2013-12-16 14:07 <DocScrutinizer05> nicksydney: yes, that OHP looks good. Though I'd try to get one that has a printing and a non-printing side
2013-12-16 14:07 <DocScrutinizer05> if such stuff still exists
2013-12-16 14:07 <wpwrak> nicksydney: if all else fails, maybe there are some hobbyists in your area who get together on weekends ? someone applying a known-to-work (even with different materials) process may be able to help you progress faster
2013-12-16 14:09 <nicksydney> wpwrak: yeah....in the local hackerspace...few of them have tried using this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Press-n-Peel-Blue-PCB-Transfer-Paper-Film-Etch-Circuit-Boards-Jewelry-5-Sheets-/160825024266 and they said it works
2013-12-16 14:09 <nicksydney> wpwrak: but locally that kind of blue paper each cost $35 :(
2013-12-16 14:09 <nicksydney> wpwrak: if i have to order will have to wait for few weeks :(
2013-12-16 14:10 <wpwrak> (hackerspace) they all are using that blue paper ? nobody went looking for something local ?
2013-12-16 14:10 <wpwrak> or, local-and-not-evilly-expensive
2013-12-16 14:11 <nicksydney> wpwrak: most of them now fabricate .... using service like seeedstudio as it's cheaper for most of them :)
2013-12-16 14:13 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: btw, congratulations on crossing 50 kEUR ! soon you'll be able to just buy some fab to make those hell-to-source parts for you :)
2013-12-16 14:13 <wpwrak> nicksydney: bah, sissies
2013-12-16 14:13 <nicksydney> DocScrutinizer05: congrats !
2013-12-16 14:15 <nicksydney> wpwrak: how long normally you iron the board for ?
2013-12-16 14:16 <DocScrutinizer05> nicksydney: this press-n-peel stuff looks very good. i was already wondering if I should suggest siliconized paper (or that bread packaging paper, that's pretty hard and glossy), but I didn't dare to suggest it without trying it first. This press-n-peel stuff seems identical principle though
2013-12-16 14:17 <DocScrutinizer05> nicksydney: long enough to heat the PCB so it properly takes the molten platic of the toner
2013-12-16 14:17 <DocScrutinizer05> plastic*
2013-12-16 14:18 <nicksydney> DocScrutinizer05: does 4-5minutes sounds long enough ? maybe that's the culprit of the problem for my case ?
2013-12-16 14:18 <DocScrutinizer05> sure!
2013-12-16 14:19 <DocScrutinizer05> just make sure you properly cleaned and scrubbed the PCB copper to make it matte
2013-12-16 14:20 <DocScrutinizer05> chalk abrassive cleaner power is ideal for that job
2013-12-16 14:20 <wpwrak> nicksydney: about 60-120 seconds (per side)
2013-12-16 14:21 <DocScrutinizer05> you should place the PCB on a board or something, so no heat dissipates to the marble desk ;-)
2013-12-16 14:21 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: matte ? once you get rid of all the oxide, it's shiny  :)
2013-12-16 14:21 <wpwrak> yeah, don't iron on that copper table ;-)
2013-12-16 14:21 <DocScrutinizer05> then you did sth wrong
2013-12-16 14:22 <DocScrutinizer05> the trick is to properly roughen the copper surface
2013-12-16 14:22 <DocScrutinizer05> will miriads of microscopic scars
2013-12-16 14:23 <wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: the result works very well :) and yes, it's roughened. with small grooves from the steel wool. maybe your process works at an even smaller scale.

2013-12-16 15:15 qi-bot3 is now known as qi-bot
2013-12-16 15:15 <DocScrutinizer05> and best of all: they "forgot" (SIC!) the flasher, so you can't flash clean image when you ruined it. Suggested SOP: send to Jolla headquarters, Norway, to get it reflashed
2013-12-16 15:15 <DocScrutinizer05> incredible
2013-12-16 15:16 <DocScrutinizer05> of curse warranty get conveniently voided when you enable "developer mode", so you pay for that idiotic procedure of shipping a device 3000km to get it reflashed to factory image
2013-12-16 15:17 <DocScrutinizer05> even more conveniently Noway isn't in EU, so you pay VAT. TWICE!
2013-12-16 15:18 <DocScrutinizer05> 24% Nowegian VAT for sending to Jolla, plus 19% for them sending it back to EU
2013-12-16 15:18 <DocScrutinizer05> almost cheaper to get a new device
2013-12-16 15:18 <DocScrutinizer05> ROTFL
2013-12-16 15:19 <DocScrutinizer05> the more funny are the prices on ebay. Those bricks go for 200%
2013-12-16 15:20 <DocScrutinizer05> 250% even
2013-12-16 15:21 <DocScrutinizer05> I guess that's the best use I can make of this annoyance
2013-12-16 15:22 <wpwrak> sounds like fun :)
2013-12-16 15:23 <DocScrutinizer05> ooh, forgot to mention: they sent the shipping notification 6h (as usual) after fedex didn't find the entrance to my house (as usual). But with very unusual scientific notation tracking number, of course with only 6 digits mantissa
2013-12-16 15:23 <wpwrak> but you can normally avoid taxes on warranty returns. of course, the bureaucracy may be more expensive than what you save.
2013-12-16 15:24 <wpwrak> and if there's VAT into .no, that would be on them anyway
2013-12-16 15:25 <DocScrutinizer05> while for the cheesy t-shirt, they sent the tracking info like 3 months before shipping, so no way I could#ve cought the actual shipment
2013-12-16 15:25 <DocScrutinizer05> well, they won't pay any VAT
2013-12-16 15:25 <DocScrutinizer05> they will charge YOU for that
2013-12-16 15:25 <DocScrutinizer05> plus processing/labor
2013-12-16 15:26 <DocScrutinizer05> mind you, warranty void when you want to use the device as intended
2013-12-16 15:26 bartbes_ has joined #qi-hardware
2013-12-16 15:26 <wpwrak> they say that they charge you VAT for that ?
2013-12-16 15:26 <DocScrutinizer05> hint: you need "developer mode" to get a xterm
2013-12-16 15:26 <wpwrak> perhaps you should just send it back and ask for a refund
2013-12-16 15:26 <wpwrak> if they're such assholes then they don't deserve better
2013-12-16 15:27 <DocScrutinizer05> hah, they already sold a t-shirt for 100EUR to me
2013-12-16 15:27 <DocScrutinizer05> no refund for that

2013-12-16 15:28 <DocScrutinizer05> nah, I'll sell that shit on ebay
2013-12-16 15:28 <DocScrutinizer05> not even worth disassembling
2013-12-16 15:28 <DocScrutinizer05> qualcom snapdragon :-/
2013-12-16 15:28 <wpwrak> eek
2013-12-16 15:28 <DocScrutinizer05> indeed
2013-12-16 15:31 <DocScrutinizer05> no schematics, no docs
2013-12-16 15:31 <DocScrutinizer05> no firmware to reflash
2013-12-16 15:31 <DocScrutinizer05> do I need to know what's inside such brick? surely not
2013-12-16 15:32 <DocScrutinizer05> their sailfish OS is closed crap as well
2013-12-16 15:32 <wpwrak> "we're a small shop and we have proven that we can make phones that suck just as much as the ones from the big players"
2013-12-16 15:32 <wpwrak> lovely :)
2013-12-16 15:33 <wpwrak> thought at least their OS was reasonably friendly
2013-12-16 15:33 <DocScrutinizer05> yeah, absolutely friendly SDK to develop QtM apps
2013-12-16 15:34 <DocScrutinizer05> you're not supposed to do anything different than this path, when you want to develop for jollaphone
2013-12-16 15:34 <DocScrutinizer05> the GUI is closed AIUI. At least that was open on maemo5

2013-12-16 15:36 <DocScrutinizer05> [Fri 13 December 2013] [06:04:01] <smokex> they were hard at work developing the device for 2 years?
2013-12-16 15:37 <DocScrutinizer05> [Fri 13 December 2013] [06:06:30] <smokex> I am really wondering waht they have spent all this time doing

2013-12-16 22:23 <apelete> mth: ah great, was thinking about buying one and get my hands in the kernel code
2013-12-16 22:23 <pcercuei_> please do :p
2013-12-16 22:23 <apelete> still have some work to do on that front ?
2013-12-16 22:23 <pcercuei_> plenty
2013-12-16 22:25 <apelete> mth pcercuei_: what would you need help with in the gcw-zero kernel ?
2013-12-16 22:25 <pcercuei_> USB OTG has to be fixed
2013-12-16 22:25 <pcercuei_> the SD card driver is a POS
2013-12-16 22:25 <pcercuei_> gpio-keys triggers a kernel panic
2013-12-16 22:26 <apelete> what do you mean by POS ?
2013-12-16 22:26 <pcercuei_> piece of sh*t
2013-12-16 22:26 <apelete> :D
2013-12-16 22:26 <pcercuei_> we have no power management, no suspend,
2013-12-16 22:26 <apelete> ok, plenty to do indeed :)
2013-12-16 22:26 <pcercuei_> the IPU driver wumpus was working on could be moved to use remoteproc,
2013-12-16 22:26 <pcercuei_> I meant VPU*
2013-12-16 22:26 <mth> I cleaned up the probe part of the SD (mmc) driver, but the part that does the I/O is still a mess
2013-12-16 22:26 <pcercuei_> the IPU driver is missing
2013-12-16 22:27 <mth> the audio driver could be modified to use a DMA engine, like larsc_ did for the JZ4740
2013-12-16 22:27 <pcercuei_> the video driver could be moved to DRM+KMS
2013-12-16 22:28 <mth> the acceleration sensor needs a driver; so far we only accessed it by i2c from user space
2013-12-16 22:29 <mth> so there is plenty to do
2013-12-16 22:29 <apelete> mth pcercuei_: great, sounds like fun aplenty indeed :)
2013-12-16 22:29 <pcercuei_> definitely
2013-12-16 22:29 <pcercuei_> btw, if you want to help, I can give you something to fix right now :D
2013-12-16 22:29 <apelete> do you have some place where you keep track of all these issues ?
2013-12-16 22:29 <mth> IRC ;)
2013-12-16 22:30 <pcercuei_> yeah mostly
2013-12-16 22:30 <mth> we have an issue tracker on github, but there is very little entered there
2013-12-16 22:31 <apelete> pcercuei_ mth: right now still has something to fix in the musb patches for the nanonote, but I already sign up to be noticed when gcw is back in stock at dragonbox.de
2013-12-16 22:32 <pcercuei_> I have an issue with gpio-keys, it triggers a kernel panic under a certain condition, could you investigate that? I don't have a serial line so I can't get the trace
2013-12-16 22:32 <pcercuei_> I believe the Nanonote has one? ...

2013-12-16 22:33 <pcercuei_> meh, of course, forgot about it
2013-12-16 22:34 <apelete> pcercuei_ mth: haven't got the device yet, but can I browse that issue tracker you set up ?
2013-12-16 22:35 <apelete> any other source of information beside this channel and the code on github by the way ?

2013-12-16 22:35 <mth> https://github.com/gcwnow/linux/issues but it turns out it is completely empty
2013-12-16 22:36 <mth> anyway, the code is one level up from there
2013-12-16 22:37 <mth> there is a #gcw channel where users and devs hang out
2013-12-16 22:39 <apelete> ok, great. anyway, I guess I will be working on the nanonote until I get the gcw, then we can resume this discussion
2013-12-16 22:41 <apelete> mth pcercuei_: I was wondering lately if the gcw might be useful to learn new tricks, it seems I'm all set now, thanks :)
2013-12-16 22:42 <pcercuei_> yep, definitely
2013-12-16 22:47 <nicksydney> wpwrak: love it http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/on-battery.jpg .... hardcore ;)
2013-12-16 22:47 <nicksydney> wpwrak: that picture is my motivation to keep going :)
2013-12-16 22:52 <wpwrak> hehe :)
2013-12-16 22:54 <wpwrak> the funny thing is that it's not even particularly good. the case was basically coming apart when i took it, because all the pressure went against the unsupported bottom, so it opened a bit, the display fell out of its space (you can see that it is slightly angled), and the case surface is about 1.5 mm above the wheel :)
