Reaching soon 7k km with bicycle. Got 2 broken spokes on backwheel, 1 on front. Had to remove front breaks to be able to ride bicycle without "autobreak on". Also had to loosen backbreaks not to stop the deformed backwheel. I have to fix it soon.
I got 3 times flat tires this month. Unbelievable! I have to buy inner tubes too because I used all my tubefixes.
I'm tired of my job. Now really. Bored and fed up. Most of the time angry when I'm there and thinking about quit. I started a free IT course to help me find new job. But that is soo stupid too. I had to finish tests from math and english and now they still want me to do another english test before I could start with IT. That is bullshit. I lost my mood.
It's raining all the time here. May, June, July: rainy. I woke up early this morning to use lawnmower in garden before the rain comes again. It was a good decision. The rain came not much after I finished. My neighbours planted some sweet peas and tomatoes but they don't give a shit about it. Plants r growing together with the weed. They r not responsible. Why they plant something if they don't want to take care?
Ok, I go take shower and than sleep.
Bye.

A MONTH LATER
Hello.
The news:
I finally fixed my old laptop (IFL90)... I never gave up on it:] Ha-Ha! I knew one day I will bring it back to life. It stopped working on the first week of April, 2011. So 4 month ago. The screen went black and that was it. I had no idea what went wrong. I could still see the hard drive working and loading the Windows because the hd led was blinking, ventilation was on. But nothing on the screen. I had to find out what was wrong. I was thinking about 3 things: the gpu, the screen or the inverter. First I bought some cables to connect the laptop to the TV to see if there is picture. If yes, than the gpu is ok, which was my main concern. I hoped it was ok. But the cables did not work...our tv is too old and has only a scart input. So I had limited chance to succeed. Well, a week later we bought a new laptop because we needed internet. But this laptop is shit. Brand new HP dv6-3100sa...red. Always overheating. So I kept trying resurrect the old one. Second step was that I bought an inverter. Luckily I found the same model on eBay what my old computer had. I replaced it. But nothing changed. The screen was still black. I mean no light at all, not even dark background light. So I took the laptop to a nearby computer repair shop and asked them to check it out. They tried to connect it to another laptop but couldn't see anything. They said the gpu is dead and there is not much I could do. Than I packed the laptop away and waited. This week I had lots of crashes during gameplay, because of overheating. I realized the new laptop is just not good enough for my games. I thought I will take this laptop apart and check if there is still some cooling paste for the processor and gpu. So I checked on youtube how to disassemble the dv6. I found some good videos, but it made me decide to unpack the old laptop again and try something new. Actually I found some videos about how to repair dead gpu's. Some people used gaslighter to heat the core under pressure, other put the whole videocard in the oven for 10 min on 200 *C. And this is what I have done too. Now I had a good kick of motivation to take time and I took the machine almost totally apart. I cleaned the gpu from old, dry cooling paste and put it in the oven. Everybody knows that under heat things expand. Probably that helped the gpu to connect back to the board. After that i cooled it down to roomtemp and reassembled the laptop. I turned it on and it worked. I was soooo happy! Now we have 2 working laptops, although I don't know how long the old will serve me now. I hope long enough because I want to use it for the games:] Thanks for all who wrote about it on forums, or uploaded related videos to youtube. Well done!
