Hail to the Siraniko!!

Incidentally, linkx asked me yesterday if i would like to invent sumthing for the web. But I'm not for it yet. And today, lo and behold! My printer just got busted today. My bro wanted it to be replaced. And the siraniko in me.. yea, i actually managed to blow up a wireless headphone before (worth 5000php!) thus i was then branded as the siraniko of the family.. hehee!! ^^

Now for the printer thingy: my bro wanted to print out his thesis using our cheapeapay printer epson c45 (which is totally "sulit") for us since the ink is just 290 (refillable up to 3x!) and stores inks 4x its counterparts! Our good ole' printer decided to die out on us today by saying that it needs service and that some parts are already due for maintenance. I was actually like: "Whoa!! how did the damn thing know about us using fake inks?" But of course since it won't be on warranty anymore since we constantly used fakes throughout its lifetime, i decided to embark on the net to find out answers.

The answer? The waste pad is full and we need to reset the counter of the wastepad.

The software was freely available and...

we needed to makeshift the wastepad so that the printer will spill the ink elsewhere (to a bottle!!). After much tinkering and breaking of the printer parts (I found out that the printer doesn't have any screws in it!) only fastened by plastics?!!? (which we eventually broke but its still in one piece) ^^ This is now the pictursque ending of our printer. Its a little ugly but it works!! (its a good thing that i've managed to keep some mira e bottles that came in handy!)
