DIY with doorknob replacement and silicon caulking

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesLast updated: April 22, 2020 at 5:08 AM Here are two DIYs I did during the new year. [Doorknob replacement] The doorknob in my bedroom was broken, so I purchased a doorknob from Rakuten and replaced it. At first, I thought of hiring a contractor, but since it was early in the new year, I decided to fix it myself because I was worried about spending about 20,000 yen. The doorknob I purchased was a little small, but the installation was successful. However, unfortunately the strike of the metal fittings was too small, so I decided to use the current metal fittings as is. This cost me about 4,000 yen including shipping. [Silicon Caulk] Due to the large-scale repair work that was carried out in my apartment last year to replace the aluminum sash, there was a lot of condensation. The silicone caulking on the bottom edge of the aluminum sash was thin and condensation was noticeable, so I used tools (caulking gun, masking tape) bought at a home improvement store to strengthen the silicone caulking. The paint came off when I removed the masking tape, so I plan to repaint it later. Condensation still occurs, but it seems to be better than before.

Cheap SIM Transfer to Mineo

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutes最終更新日:2021年3月24日 at 12:50 PM * 2021.03.23 更新 Web上で申し込み後、僅か3日でMVNOのマイネオからSIMが届きました。 マイネオとの契約内容は、「Aプラン/デュアルタイプ/パケット制限3GB(月額1,630円・税込)」です。 ワイモバイルからのMNP転入が滞り無く完了しました。 ショップへ出向く必要はなく、ネットが不通になった時間は30分だけで、楽にMNPが出来ました。 ここで、マイネオを使ってみて、少し気が付いた点を以下に記します。 《メリット》 ・月額料金が大幅に節約出来る。 ・AUの4G回線はプラチナバンドなので、屋内ではSB系の4G回線よりも電波が安定している。 ・IP電話アプリのLaLaCallが基本料無料で利用できる。 ・Aプランの場合、おサイフケータイに加え、テザリングも利用出来る。 ・mineoコミュニティサイト(マイネ王)において、余ったパケットをフリータンクに入れ、全国のmineo仲間とパケットを共有できる。(一月あたり、最大1GBの引き出しが可能) 《デメリット》 ・LISMOやauスマートパスなど、AU系のサービスの大半が使えない。 ・auの留守番電話サービスが使えないので、使いたい場合は、マイネオの「お留守番サービスEX(324円/月)」のオプションに申し込む必要がある。 ・Aプランを選択した場合、VoLTEに非対応の端末だと、090の音声通話が3G回線(CDMA2000)となり、通話品質がDoCoMo(W-CDMA)やSBの回線と比べると格段に落ちる。 ・マイネオのメアドが取得できるが、IMAP方式であり、キャリアメールとして扱われない。 先ず最初に、ヤフオクより30,000円で入手していた「Sony Xperia Z3 SOL26」(ネットワーク利用制限=○)に、楽天で買った強化ガラスを貼りました。 SIMトレーは、爪楊枝一本で引き出せました。 マイネオのNano SIMを挿入してから、MNP転入に回線を切り替え、約30分待てば処理完了です。 端末の起動後、APN設定を行います。 Xperia Z3用にTPUクリアー・カバーを用意したのですが、標準のクレードルがフィットしなかったので、クレードルを改造しました。 これで、カバーを付けたまま充電が出来ます。 LaLaCallのアプリをインストールしました。 ネットから、1,580円で買ったなんちゃってエルメス風のガジェットケースです。 最後に、MNP転入費用の内訳を以下に示します。 解約金(ウィルコムプランLite) 10,260円 MNP転出手数料 2,970円 機種代残金 3,240円 契約事務手数料(マイネオ) 3,000円 合計: 19,470円 痛い出費ですが、月額料金が安いので、半年で取り戻せるかと思います。 ※マイネオへの申し込みは、こちらから⇒ さぁmineをはじめよう! ※ 現在は、楽天モバイルへ乗り換えております ⇒ au版Galaxy S9+を楽天モバイル(UN-LIMIT)へMNPで乗り換え【Android端末のSIM/APN設定も解説】

Merry Christmas!

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesLast updated: January 7, 2016 at 1:03 AM This may be the last Santa costume for this year. This photo was taken with the Sony Xperia Z3 SOL 26 below. Actually, starting next year, Y! I'm planning to throw away my mobile smartphone and change to a SIM from Mineo, an AU-based MVNO, so I also bought a Sony Xperia smartphone from Yahoo! Auctions for 30,000 yen. (Network usage restrictions are rated as ○.) Mineo also recently released SIMs that support VoLTE, so there was also the option of the latest Xperia models "Z4 and Z5." However, those models still have heat generation issues, so I decided to choose the Z3. The reason I chose Mineo is that it supports tethering, which is not supported by DoCoMo SIMs, and that the IP phone app "LaLa Call" can be used for free. As expected, since it's a flagship model, the performance is significantly different from the crappy smartphones I've been using. In particular, the camera and sound functions are excellent, and the overall performance is excellent. I think Sony is number one when it comes to smartphones!

November birthstone

⌛Time it takes to read this article: < 1 minutesLast updated: November 28, 2021 at 10:28 PM November's birthstones are topaz and citrine. The most common color of topaz is champagne. Blue topaz also exists in natural colors, but the amount in circulation is very small. Most blue topaz is treated with gamma ray irradiation or heat treatment to create stones with colors such as "Swiss Blue" or "London Blue." Natural stones exist in citrine (citrine), but there are also stones made by heat-treating amethyst (amethyst) to turn it yellow. The pendant in the photo is probably the treated stone.
