DIY Techno-hacksOld 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.

This sounds super impressive, fair play to you!Out of interest, do you have a monster, house gauge, UPS in your basement? What happens in event of a power outage?

I dohave a UPS, but it's not very good - at best it will last for 10-15 minutes, but that's long enough for all the machines to bring themselves down properly.
I can still open the doors manually, but of course, everything else does shut off.
