Miscellaneous

I like to fix things rather than just throw them out. Often the hardest part of fixing something is working out how to get the back off to take a look inside. Luckily, the Internet is a great resource for this.

Occasionally, I find no information about how to get the back off something and I have to resort to the old fashioned technique of a big hammer and chisel. Once I have worked out how to get the back off, I like to return the favour to all those who share the knowledge so here is how to open a Technics PX30 Piano and a Roberts Sports DAB radio without having to use a big hammer.

I spent much of my career perfoming technical demonstrations for enterprise level software, such as eCommerce and content management systems. Over the 94 quarters I did this, I learned a few things from people who had been doing it for years. I also discovered a few things myself and probably passed on a few of these as well. A few years ago, I was asked to write down the main things to consider when doing a demo to a prospect. The results was a list of enterprise demo tips.
