Let's talk about outdoor recreation


Yesterday I bought palatochkah. Four-seater, with a vestibule. Good, easy. I remember how we used to go camping with canvas - heavy, like bricks, and, God forbid, caught in the rain. However, before the campaign, and was more similar to that: landed somewhere in the train and five to seven miles in full gear peshochkom.

Now everything is much simpler: go to the store, filled the trunk of any fare and go to places close to water and fresh air. The area is small and we have really a god forsaken place is hard to find, and honestly, and do not want much: there are a number of places where there was a well-defined practice of relaxation. Somewhere comfortable to swim, somewhere - to fish somewhere - Sunbathing. Everyone has their own cockroaches.

The main thing is that if you're going to sleepover, then the next morning you know how well that usually you live in an apartment with private facilities, and to store a stone's throw. Wrinkled face, the omnipresent smell of smoke, the morning is not something that cool, and the real cold. Even the rain at the wrong time. No wash, no shit really. Beauty! . Hence, there is a sense in all this whirl, which you mistakenly call a life.

Repair Monitor LG Flatron: self - inefficient!


On this issue I.
wrote in a blog a question.
Now - as promised - a report on what happened as a result of.

A week ago I was planning to write a post about the memories of past exploits on the field of IT maintenance and that ' there is life in the old dog yet '. But I have to write about something else.

Of course, the ' gunpowder ', maybe not that, but it is my moral fable is now different: the powder should be used efficiently, by appointment, effective.

One of the ideas of IT - the division of labor. Everyone must do their work, the good of it will be much greater ( By the way, we just on this occasion there is a constant topic of discussion. In particular, there is the slogan Sergey Golubev. ' An effective strategy - to choose what, where pay less and less dependent ', against which I am supported by Volodya Mitin strongly made ​​'.

so. I began to act up power supply monitor. LG Flatron.



By the way, trying to remember, as previously called itself LG. Remembered not only through the Internet - GoldStar. And how much time (in the second half of 1990 ) was talking - ' Why are they doing, who they will be under a new name to learn? '. Who today would say outright, as was called 13 years ago what is now known as ABBYY?.

About LG Flatron.
Work is quite possible, but then he did ' gavknetsya '?. Two weeks later I tried to start his independent repair, spending a total of five to six hours.
In the end, I realized that you need to move to outsourcing and solved the problem: half an hour 600.

I sincerely regret that succumbed to illusions about ...

Now, the story itself.

Three weeks ago, the monitor began to act up: when you turn the image does not appear. Appeared to have to physically remove the power cord and turn on. Wrote in a blog question and quickly gained a ' diagnosis ' - a well-known defect, flew capacitors.

How to treat? . And so for 50 rubles Conder and solder from a neighbor! '.

Option is not bad, although I have previously presented that the main problem is to find capacitors ( spend more on gasoline ). And I'm not a soldering iron in his hands is about 10 years....

But before the capacitor is not reached.

I ' broke ' in the disassembly of the monitor. At it for 10 days were spent three attempts at 1-2 hours each.
Visually monitor the study showed that the 'discovery ' - a secret that you need to know. Search the Internet - find questions and answers. even video. But of them I knew very little and did not want to break cover.

Then I decided to continue. I called repairman friend who advised me on the phone. In particular, he sent me the instructions on the Korean language, but with a photo - how to open. Our communication with my attempts to ' opening ' lasted about two hours. But it turned out!.



By the way, it must act with a knife, not a scalpel! .



But the ultimate 'discovery ' ( understanding the principle ), I put off until Saturday.
Saturday started. The back cover shot for 15 minutes ( there were some problems).



In the middle of the plastic front frame bends right fingers, the knife should help only at the corners.


Now you need to unscrew the four screws from behind ( everything clear).


There is also a small problem - this piece of iron does not decouple, but you had to pick up just a little bit of a knife (she clung to the pins inside ). The second photo shows.



Separated from the back cover of the monitor stand -.



But then it was necessary to remove the electronics from the screen. It turns out the block is glued to the screen trite tape.



They combine several bundles of wire -. It is clear that there must be connections, but... they are not very visible, and pull, somehow did not really like.




In addition, the ' inflated ' kondersatorov was not explicitly clear. So, we had to have them somehow identify (and then I have learned - they are here in the form of ' bars ' on the right photo - top left corner of the picture.


And then go somewhere else ( no one knows where ) to buy. And then another, and solder (a solder - this is serious business ). And if after this will not work? .

At this point I firmly stopped.

He put the monitor in a bag in the car and ' Budenovskiy computer center '. 15 minutes go ( have not traveled - District transportation opened - so did the 4th TC - full).
In one repair office: '500 rubles, for the diagnosis, another 2,000 rubles - repair '.

No, I 'm going to another, in the next line: '600 rubles. will be ready in an hour '. Here it is!.

OK!.
I go out - leaves at a nearby tire, change to winter tires, knock yourself on the netbook next article. I arrived an hour later, 600 rubles, take away, leaving. All OK! .

Bottom line: The next time such a train once in this ' second ' office.

The cover of the monitor I am now able to remove himself for 5-10 minutes. Unplug electronics from the screen, too, can five minutes. But look Conder, solder, assemble... From the result of unpredictable. No! . - It is much cheaper.
I would rather the keys at this time I will knock. Or do another report on the visit of the IT conference.

People love discounts, but like if their business?


People came to me and said, ' You know, grupon something works! '. 'Wow! ' . And asked to tell what the salt of the phrase. Agreed with gruponom about the campaign, he spent it for their online store and got the effect in the form of almost a hundred orders.

' Wow! ' . And everything was sad. 100 orders have caused a loss of 35,000 rubles. ' Well, ' - I said - ' And maybe you got a cool visitors to your web-shop? ' . T. e. approximately 17. 5 rubles per person or around five times more expensive than it pays in the same advordse. Although, of course, is to realize that this is not public in advordse. But five times more expensive!.

As with the rebills? . These repeated surveys show that consumers are inclined to shopping at a discount, try to continue to buy at a discount. T. e. They rarely become loyal customers of a brand. Of course, there is a category of consumers who perceive a discount as the ability to switch from one brand to another. But these consumers is much smaller this time. And secondly, they consume goods at a discount spontaneously, not tracking with maniacal persistence shares in coupon services.

So what is selling coupon sites? . I recall selling coupon sites for sms service three years ago. When the operator picked up and billing of up to 70 % of the SMS and the most profitable trade was nothing for the remaining profit: air, free of duplicated information, access to services with no value. I will never forget the hit of the season - a diet for 300 rubles, a file in a Word document, where there was only one sentence ' stop to eat, you fool! '.

Without the repayment, it is possible through coupon sites to work on selling super-cheap goods, or work through a double price list (one for ordinary consumers, the second - for the coupon). Kuponatory catch up very competitive buyers with promises of discounts, dealer air successfully converts the air into real money.

Example: I want to sell the mats for a car priced at $ 100. I paint on the carpets in the price of 600 rubles, and then call in and offer them kuponator sell my pads for 200 rubles, of which half will take kuponator. well. Kuponschiki hyping their spam- base willing to dismantle hundreds of rugs for 200 rubles, I paid my $ 100 without spending a dime on advertising their. Mats come to an end, and next month we sell brushes for car seats again through kuponator. Profitable? .

The only question is how long it can last? . There will always be millions of hamsters who are ready to buy goods at a price twice as much on the coupon site, when in a store near this product is half the price. There will always be hundreds of businessmen who are ready to exchange activities to increase loyalty to the momentary burst of sales to justify a theoretical possibility rebills.

Another thing is that the weakness of this model on its perception of consumers ( from the opinion ) makes it extremely vulnerable - some rumors about kidalovo can easily provoke a sharp outflow of kuponopokupateley. There have kuponatorov factors that bind them to the ground. The original product is always supersede inflated, as if it had not filed a beautiful. And while I do not understand why I sell a man possessed discounts its product below its cost - the next time he will still go to where there will be new discounts. Work for work's sake? .

TV LCD ( LCD ) will not be cheaper



At the same time talked about netbooks. Asus monopoly in Russia will soon come to an end. Look for models from nearly all manufacturers. All of them are based on the Intel Atom - T. e. other than the Internet and watch a movie you have nothing on these crumbs do not get at a reasonable speed, but many, and this for the eyes. So while Still I keep on rolling in the dreams of a normal lip dvenashku from Sony or another manufacturer who is not a powerful pozhmotilsya percent and a couple gigs of memory.

Remember I told you about. pizza ' Kono Momento '. That the idea fails and the type that it will - it is not clear. Now it is clear. Now no longer Kono, and even not the moment, but just ' ladle ' in this place with dishes a la eatery.

More experiments, less caution



Would have learned to engage in advertising, if not picked up at your own risk to support multiple clients, with only a rudimentary knowledge of marketing at Kotler's textbook?.

Would my sites would be interesting if I did not spend half of the working day for six months at its first start-ups? .

Would my blog has become a popular, if I had not experimented with the opinion of its readers by publishing articles on the subject, not only SEO but also social and just about life? .

Would Satellite-X has become so popular, if I had two months at night is not a support virtually non-stop, doing courses, patterns, beginners, for which he received the image of a programmer working forever?.

Would I came up with a chip in the humanization of articles AutoBlog-X, if it had not lost two apa 140 domains banned by Yandex? .

Would I could help my friends and acquaintances in matters beyond the scope of my work, if not constantly trying to find myself in something else?.

Look, take risks, experiment!. The more you try your hand at creating something new, the greater your experience, the better the subsequent results. A loss, loss - it is scary, and ultimately they are compensated handsomely.

The second day of TS50

here.

Since the very tired, we can not promise a structured. Something can be found in me on Twitter, what more I can read on Twitter @ iwhite and @ alex ( he also wrote all of the blog ). Much has been written on the Tekranche. I'll feel.
The day went much better than yesterday, but feeling that it remains severely deceived. There is a golden rule for conferences, if well- fed positetiteley had good razdatki and gifts, regardless of content otkachestva conference will take place more or less well.
I must say that the Internet was. He was a very good. And the fed is better than yesterday. But still very average. Just about the food as soon as announced lunch, people lomanulsya, Aware yesterday, when the food is not stupid enough. But today, everything seems ok. Everyone was enough food for 4 with a minus.
Companies have gone much stronger, but still have two problems. Both are associated with the personality of the organizers:.
a. Well it is not clear that the criteria were for selecting projects. A feeling that Calacanis and Arrington just pinned. ( m is an even write ).
2. Presentations of projects are weak, the show is good and weak presentation. Investors would not listen to such. In our Kreshtest we would not even let such a presentation would be. I just broke off when the stage was nonprofit team. This can allow themselves the only people who believe that God grasped by the beard.
Visually, there were more people. Serious people in total were two to three times less than last time (knowingly hid the list of participants, so as not to disappoint visitors. Last year, this list was published). Since investors have been so bad that any man with a blue badge participants demopita just rushed, suspecting it of the investor. Most of the conversations that I have seen stories about this project in the same uchestvnikam demopita.
People like Yossi Vardi is easy to go to the contact, but interesting ekzeki like Hoffman did not go into the hall and hid.
But seriously presented Europe. Yes, and they were kept together and managed to razznakomitsya.

On the panel today, sitting Hoffman, Orell, Scoble - this is serious. But in general - is the competition startups. The very informative part was very weak and insignificant. THIS IS A VERY sorry!.

The reasons for such low-quality content, I see two:.
- crisis. Funds can not waste time, and pay big bucks in a tight economy can not. Yes, many do not invest.
- Personal relationship Arrington, who does that wants to. It looks like no one believed that he could provide a strong company that it happened as a result of.

In general, the TC as a blog has run its course. Gone are the days when Mike did not sleep at night and looking for an exclusive. Now it works a lot of people, journalists and administreytiv Staph, and Mike considers himself a god, and thinks that everything should go to him self into the hands of.
Calacanis misspoke yesterday that he and Mike do not talk a week because of controversy surrounding the selected projects. A move to the final T-shirt when he scored at all and did not come out for an award, so it's just rudeness. Total, I have serious doubts that the TS50 in the same form next year. But I still go.

Well, in general, considering that I have in the past six months matyuknulsya only three times, but today I swore to was worth, ... The Pokrovsky Gate.

Out of interest to me. I have worked on projects that are working at the intersection of social networking and social services and plug-ins for different products. All projects are a cut above those who were present, but questions from the jury, and further discussions were very useful. I am more than pleased that we are moving in the right direction.

In addition Networking there really is very cool. I found a couple of customers at the request of some Ukrainian staratpov got there cards. photographed. Lack of investors upset me greatly - there is agreement on a series of meetings, and on the Microsoft VC Summit - these investors will be a couple of hundred, and even without the rabid crowd of entrepreneurs. There, I hunt them, and will. Although it is poaching.

At the party did not go - there is always a loud, crowded and confusing ( if you do not want to get drunk and stupid fun ) little. I feel I can not very well now, and I did not speak on these matters.

Sorry, that a quick hand and with errors.

Who cares, you can repost with a link to my blog. A boring, so do not repost, I do not force. In the comments to answer questions with pleasure.

Of all of two days, I think the most useful introduction to Alex Vithelmom @ alex and Sasha Prokhorenko @ iwhite. Both are interesting tweets and blogs. I recommend.

Well, the photos on. flickr. You can see. There's a lot.
