This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Ha
I think she quite likes it secretly. It is, at least, useful to some degree!

In fact, long before Sky+ etc... existed, I'd rigged up a Mythbox in which we could pause live TV, record, rewind etc... She got so used to it that when she was round a friends house, she honestly couldn't understand why they couldn't/wouldn't pause the TV to go for a pee.

My kids have become so used to touching the screen to turn lights on and off that they find it odd when other people's houses don't have the same!
