OSX Yosemite Handoff Feature

Little bit research on how to use Handoff feature on OSX Yosemite:

In order to use Handoff Feature from OSX Yosemite:

1. On Mac, go to System Preferences -> General, and check the box “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices”

2. On your iCloud devices (iphone), go to settings -> general -> Handoff & Suggested Apps, and Enable Handoff

3. On Mac, open Facetime and go to preferences. Check the “Allow iphone calls” box

4. Make sure bluetooth and Wifi turned on (both Mac and iphone)

5. Mac and iphone must be logged in with same iCloud account.

6. Must be on same Wifi network.

P.S. Look like that you need to check if your Mac support that by checking at System Report, and under Bluetooth Category LMP version needs to be 0x6. If anything lower than that, most likely handoff feature will not work.

A 3d print for my toilet

Last time I tried to fixed my toilet, and I accidentally lost a part for the piston. I probably flushed it. I had been searching around and also had my friend who worked with kitchenware industry looking for that part, but I had no luck to find it.

Luckily, since I knew that I probably could print the spare part with 3D printer, I had created a 3D model with Sketchup. Also, big thank to Manolis from Dim Sum Labs printed out my replacement part with his 3D printer.

And it worked perfectly!

Trying to fix my toilet

Recently, I try to fix anything at home if possible… Maybe inspired by other maker and maker movement.

This time, I could not flush my toilet, so I did some research and mostly likely the siphon was not functioning.

I successfully took it apart, and..

Everything was right, but unfortunately, I could not unscrew the one that connect to the siphon… I need a big spanner to open it… I just did not have enough grip power to open it…

That sux.. So I got to put it back before my wife saw my mess… haha..  and thankfully it was still working and no leaking except the flush part. Now, I need to find a big spanner.
