How to Fail at Computers™: Volume 7

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:58:52 +0000

Again we have a situation where a customer is testing my refund/returns/exchanges policies. I am not unfair, and I ask that if you want ALL of your money back, then I would like to see ALL of the materials I sold you in ALL the good condition they were in when I sold them to you. Its really not that hard, box, packing, manuals, all in like-new and resellable condition. If the merchandise is broken or malfunctioning at time of purchase, I will exchange for free, no problem. I am not Walmart and will not just accept a refund or return on anything that walks in the door, no matter how badly you’ve used it or damaged it. Be fair with me, and I’m fair with you.

Mini Chopper – Resurrection 3

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:58:43 +0000

The battery wasn’t holding charge for very long after the charger was on it, and after testing it it was coming up 10V indicating that one cell had either had a problem or it shorted. After closer exam I found that one cell had almost dried out, adding some distilled water to it resolved the issue and it was back up and running with a proper voltage after charge, and it held a charge!

I put gas into the bike, and bump-started it down the driveway, it fired right up on the first try and I took it up and down the street a couple times. Everything seems to check out on this bike now, its running very well!

This week I finally got the thing dug out of its hiding place, I checked over the battery and gave it a charge, put some air in the tires, gas in the tank, an oil change, and gave the thing a run! WOOHOOOOO!

Dragging out the mini chopper! Its been parked for a while as I just have too many other toys these days, but someone shook me up to have more interest in it, and he is considering buying it from me himself. So its time to dig it out of my tiny garage and get the thing started and tuned up!

CR500 Sportbike – Project Street Racer – Part 13

vvtheduckvv — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 06:32:45 +0000

This week I hung the chain back onto this machine, and re-evaluated the brakes and showed how they worked. The calipers, swingarm, rear wheel, and caliper bracket are all from different makes/models and aren’t supposed to work together, BUT THEY DO!

Also evaluated how right side rearset footpeg and brake lever would mesh up with the kickstarter.

0.45x Wide-Angle Lens Test Sony HDR-CX130

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:23:51 +0000

Testing Sony HDR-CX130 Handycam 1080p resolution at 59.94fps with a cheapo wide angle lens conversion. It works quite well and nearly doubles my field of view in width and height. Its works quite well considering it was onlly $10 on ebay. However its a bit cloudy when zooming into the distance, but if you’re trying to do WIDE ANGLE you’re not exactly supposed to be zooming in on the subject! There is very little vignette around the corners, though this camcorder’s wide-angle setting doesn’t seem to do ANYTHING for it at all! What a stupid useless feature! Its easier to post-process the corners when it occurs which is usually triggered by the internal stablization when I make a sudden movement.

How to Fail at Computers™: Volume 6

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:17:57 +0000

Back again, this week with a computer loaded with junkware, toolbars and a myriad of other garbage all self-inflicted. This customer attempted to have me clean it for free, as part of our special antivirus warranty, but due to the nature of the SELF-INFLICTED damage, there is absolutely no coverage by me or my company at all.

LaLaLauren311′s FL Trip in 5 mins

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:17:50 +0000

This is a fast-paced video of some of the highlights from when LaLaLauren311 came from New York to visit me here in Pensacola, Florida a few weeks ago. We had a road trip, pizza, photo shoots with some of our more ordinary friends, just to name a few, and had a blast doing all the above!

WTF Macheteeeeeeeeeeeeee

vvtheduckvv — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:17:44 +0000

Just a few more stupid machete chopping stunts, this time I was a little lazy and lower energy, but I think the costume makes up for it. I wore my silly leather-covered german-style motorcycle helmet with hockey mask!
