MacBook + Coffee = tears

Posted in Techie Stuff,Work by admin on the March 4th, 2008

We had a coffee spillage here, resulting in a sad macbook. Two little things to come out of it though:

  • Taking hard drives out of mac books is actually relatively painless. It merely involves 3 screws, a likkle screwdriver and an L-plate behind the battery.
  • A little external hard drive case (nicely provided by Darran) can save a lot of bother. Simply remove the hard drive, insert it into the case, plug into another computer and with any luck your hard drive is up and running

We recently finished a nice piece of work for O2. This is an application which allows the user to upload a photo, cut out a section, and then put it in an ad. Then the user can send his creation to his mates, opportunities for hilarity abound.
