I went to Santa Cruz flea market yesterday, to get me a very important accessory for my Fujitsu Lifebook T5010. Here's my catch:
From top to bottom, left to right:
-- orange preserves, pretty good marmalade;
-- two sticks of hot mouldy salami;
-- roll of silk thread 2.5mm in caliber;
-- roll of sticky bandage;
-- kitchen knife of Taiwanese manufacture (as opposed to Chinese crapware);
-- garlic press (useless, as it occurred later);
-- glue of glue-all type;
-- hitchhiker's hat, relatively clean;
-- Dell's old 5-button wired mouse.
There's also this genuine Rocca Solingen Full Hollow Ground High Carbon Steel, 6/8 inch razor, a very rare professional device for barbers, offered for about £80 in UK, sold for about $58, yours for mere $60 (mine is in almost impeccable shape, stropped and honed recently:
This awesome blade is for sale ($60): I need some funds to repare this Hercules (SGSII SGH-T989):
-- Phaidon book "They Called Her Styrene", I'm ready to part with it for mere $4;
-- GIS book, you can have it for $2;
-- Sunset Pictorials "San Francisco", a rare book of 1969 printing, in good condition, just like this one, and I'm ready to part with it for $20;
-- T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-T989 phone, cracked and broken screen. It happened there's no replacement screens available for less than $115 at the moment, that's why I need to sell the above items;
-- Thames & Hudson "Archeology" book of British printing, valued at no less than $20.
You may ask where's the part for T5010 here? The answer is that roll of silk thread. A genuine Fujitsu tether for stylus costs ridiculous $3.50 without S&H, whereas my roll of yellowish silk thread cost me S0.75 for a roll of no less than 100 tether lengths:
Works like a charm.
Meanwhile, before my SSD arrives, I'm trying many Linux distros to find one with best support of Wacom stylus/screen calibration/screen orientation/screen auto-rotation/bezel buttons. I can tell you there's no such thing, and a good Fujitsu button driver might not compile so easily. Running Linux Mint Cinnamon 16 RC now, just to try some tricks. It's cleaner than Mint Cinnamon or LXDE 15, but tablet module with screen calibration is broken. Well, that module was defective anyway, even when it worked. Besides, the idea of adding calibration option with some manual coordinates in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as some 99-wacom.conf doesn't work at all. Ubuntu is not your Debian.
How I wish Wayland arriving sooner than later!
