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.

with all these posts I have a question..
what do you do for a living? Also, do you just enjoy making things rather than making something to save time/effort?

I'm
a programmer. I program things for large machinery; cameras, switches, input counters, robot arms etc... as well as the usual database crap.

For the most part I enjoy making things that make my (and my family's) lives easier and things that are useful.

However, things like the QFH antenna was simply for fun - I wanted to see if I could pick up the weather satelites in my own home.
