Remove DataTool Alarm

Posted on 2024-09-012025-10-17 By rolfje No Comments on Remove DataTool Alarm

  1. The alarm is virtually irrepairable because it is filled with silicone
  2. There is an easy trick to remove/disable it without permanent damage to the bike or the alarm.

Shoot salt at flies

Posted on 2012-08-07 By rolfje 1 Comment on Shoot salt at flies

BUG-A-SALT Lorenzo had a great idea. In stead if being one of those “having fun at the bar” ideas that never actually see the light of day, Lorenzo followed through. Did you ever have that urge to just take a gun and shoot that fly that is constantly buzzing around your head or food? Well now you can. Check out his invention at www.bugasalt.com.

Seeing his gun, I remembered making pea-shooters at high school from a roll of tape and a party balloon. I adjusted the idea for flies (smaller nozzle), and it works beautifully. It only holds one shot, and it looks not nearly as cool as the shotgun idea of Lorenzo, but if you can’t wait to start shooting those flies, here’s how to make your own low-budget, one-shot salt shooter. Enjoy!

This is what is known on the internet as a “Useless Machine” or “Leave-me-alone Box”. In case you want to make one, there are plenty of instructions online. I think you can build a basic version of this in about a weekend, and it will cost you less than ten euros.
