I got a job at a repair centre, real repairs with a soldering iron, not only selling covers. I don't think I will write here a lot more. Everybody reads things on the phone now and the phone does not like long posts. Thanks for all your questions. And…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2012/03/i-went-to-see-the-repair-centre.html Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:10:00 +0600bloghttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2012/03/i-went-to-see-the-repair-centre.html I went on Friday, after work, to the repair centre on the other side of the river. They have a big room with six tables, six lamps and six men with soldering irons. The smell of flux, which is the smell I want to wear in my coat for the rest of my life. The boss is called Rinat, I think, I forgot…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/12/wi-fi-at-home-the-router-is-not-magic.html Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:20:00 +0600internethttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/12/wi-fi-at-home-the-router-is-not-magic.html Three customers this month asked me to "put the internet in the air". They meant a Wi-Fi router. It is a small box with a few lights. You connect it to the ADSL modem and the whole flat can use the internet with phones and laptops. Put it in the middle of the flat, not behind the fridge. Change…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/09/a-student-s-guide-to-buying-a-phone.html Sun, 04 Sep 2011 18:40:00 +0600phoneshttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/09/a-student-s-guide-to-buying-a-phone.html September is the month of students. They come in groups of three, with a budget of 400 som and an opinion of 3,000. Here's what I tell them: Buy a phone with a removable battery. When the battery dies in two years, you will not need a new phone. Buy a phone that takes a big memory card. You will…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/06/now-you-can-post-from-the-phone.html Sun, 12 Jun 2011 21:00:00 +0600bloghttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/06/now-you-can-post-from-the-phone.html Kündölük 3.0 is out and it has a button "Post from phone". I wrote this on the bus. It took 20 minutes, because the phone predicts the wrong words. I wrote "gadget" and it wrote "gazelle". I think I'll leave it. Is it good? Yes. Will I post more? Probably. Will you be able to read it? Yes, the…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/03/my-first-smartphone.html Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:30:00 +0600phoneshttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/03/my-first-smartphone.html I finally bought one for myself. It has apps, a map, a browser that shows real websites. I read this blog on it right now. The theme looks small but it works. The future is here and it is in my pocket and it needs charging every night.https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/01/you-dropped-it-in-water-now-what.html Sun, 30 Jan 2011 19:30:00 +0600phoneshttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2011/01/you-dropped-it-in-water-now-what.html The shop gets one every week. A phone in the tea, the bath, the river, the soup. Rules: Take out the battery at once. Do not press any button. Dry the outside with a cloth. Do NOT use rice. Rice has starch, and it leaves a powder inside. Do NOT use a hairdryer. The heat melts small things. Put it…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/12/in-praise-of-snake.html Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:10:00 +0600phoneshttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/12/in-praise-of-snake.html Every phone has had it since 1998. Snake. A line that eats and grows, until it eats itself. Whole families lost afternoons, a customer lost a bus stop and then a bus, and I have personally lost a shift. I have seen three generations of Snake: the black-and-white one, the green one, and the new one…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/09/grandmother-s-first-sms.html Sun, 19 Sep 2010 20:00:00 +0600phoneshttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/09/grandmother-s-first-sms.html Today an old woman, about 75, came to the shop with a small piece of paper. On the paper she had written, in big letters, a message to her grandson in Almaty: "I AM WELL. THE APPLES ARE RIPE. WHEN DO YOU COME." I helped her type it letter by letter. It took twenty minutes. She pressed each key…https://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/07/why-your-phone-says-no-network-in-the-mountains.html Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:10:00 +0600internethttps://blog.attelkom.net/ruslan/2010/07/why-your-phone-says-no-network-in-the-mountains.html Every summer people come back from the jailoo angry that the phone did not work. It is not the phone. There are no towers on the summer pastures, the sheep don't pay for SIM cards. Climb a hill and stand still. That is the official advice of Ruslan's Gadget Corner.
