New 10 Port USB 2.0 hub

This last Sunday I bought a new 10 Port USB 2.0 hub at some shop in the local China Town. The spacing for the USB ports is basically ideal so that the bigger plugs do not interfere with each other. There is also a led for when something is plugged in and active. The power cable is a little bit short for my configuration, but that was to be expected. Initially I was worried that it draws power from the PC USB 2.0 port which would possibly fry something.

Looking for costume ideas for upcoming event

An annual fancy dress event is coming up again at the end of July. Normally a friend of mine and myself go there and we usually try to dress as something matching.

This year I want to try something different in regards to a costume to look completely different including coloured contact lenses to match the eyes to the rest of the character. The actual costume choices depend on what is available as well.

Hopefully I can also get tickets without the same problems like last year at the door.
