Well I have found a mostly compatible button for the Nintendo DS original. However, You have to do a little modification: cutting off the side pieces. But thats not hard.

Well my DS' left shoulder button decided to fail completely recently, how retarded is that. Whats worse is everybody thinks they can charge you $16 for a replacement switch. Guess what, that isn't even an identical replacement. So, if anybody knows what company uses a "H" logo and makes tactile switchs- I'll replace their shoulder switch for them if they need it.
In the mean while:http://www.components.omron.com/components/web/webfiles.nsf$FILES/family.html?ID=CNEN-6TJQQJ

I'm halfway done with the blade, I need to 120 then 600 wet sand it and I'll be done sanding. Hopefully, I'll figure out how to parkerize the base of the blade so it will be preserved and not rust.
Man, I was stupid and forgot about blogging for ages. >_< Guys, I should finish up that black powered series soon.
The making of black powder is really simple, however I'm going to spread this out over a few days so I don't spend all my free time on just this. :)
I chose to start with the most interesting part of making black powder- the charcoal. Its actually pretty simple! First, put a few chunks of grilling charcoal in a grill and start them burning. Then you prepare your wood that will be turned into charcoal usable in black powder. To do this find a piece of softwood, I used a small piece of 2x4. Wrap the wood in several layers of aluminum foil to keep air from getting to the wood, then poke a hole about 1/8 of an inch in diameter to let the gases escape. After that, just stick the aluminum foil wrapped wood on the charcoal and you will get something like this once the grilling charcoal has burnt out and your chunk of wood has cooled off:
Well, some time today I'm going to finish off coding my open source version of a proccess run time timer.

What are they doing? Making sure Rachel Luttrell(Teyla Emmagan) gets her maturnity leave? Oh well, I guess this is a side effect of the fact that I watched SG1 seasons 1-5 in a few weeks.
