Hope

If I had the choice to live as I wish with what I have and know now, this would be it:
1. Sell all the things I no longer use
2. Move to a sunny affluent country where I can buy a 3 room house with a garden by the beach
3. Have a black sausage dog and name it Toby
4. Make one room my studio to train for pole fitness and dance
5. Stay in the garden and read all my books
6. Learn to play an instrument such as guitar or piano
7. Learn to speak German
8. Get a bicycle with a basket 
9. Be always suntanned
10. Learn a new skill

So what is stopping me? 
1. I have all my stuff on ebay, shpock, vinted, letgo, gumtree and are not selling and I don't want to give them for cheap
2. With my little savings I can't afford to buy a house in an affluent country and don't know where I could fit in
3. Where I live, I am not allowed with pets and if I were to travel, I would have no one to leave the dog with, or it would be more expensive and restrictive for me to travel this way, while I have no income. Also, the rent did not grow in 7 years and I have a big room. The prices went up and for the same space central I would pay double if I were to move elsewhere central.
4. I need the space, my current room has cracked walls and small space to do all in it
5. I need the time and mental peace to read all these
6. I need to buy the instrument and be dedicated to learn 
7. I started a while back and lost interest because I don't need to use it for a daily thing
8. I have no space to store it other than next to my bed, and a foldable one is over £780
9. I would need to go to a sunny country often and this costs money
10. I don't know what to learn, as usually I learn in order to achieve something with it, the skill being the tool to reach the goal 

Asking empowering questions
1. How else can I sell my items without losing their value?
2. What warm countries offer the quality of life I need and have sunny beaches?
3. Why not ask my landlord, flatmates and neighbours if they are ok to get a pet? What are the costs of having a dog in UK?
4. Where can I find a bigger place to rent with garden for the same money? 
5. Why can't I read now and stop wasting time on devices?
6. How much is for a lesson, and to buy the instrument? Where can I get free lessons?
7. Why don't I start again and watch German programs with English subtitles. Where can I go and meet German people?
8. How important is the basket? Where can I find a cheap portable bicycle?
9. How much per each yearly quarter it would cost to go to a sunny beach holiday?
10. What would excite me to do as a job and what can I learn to do it? Where can I learn this? Could I volunteer?

How to assemble your Wacom Intuos pen

Image
After being asked how to disassemble a Wacom Intuos4 pen, I've decided to write a separate post on this topic. In the photo below I've numbered each step in the exact order of how I disassembled each element of my Intuos4 Wacom pen. 1. Remove the pen circular head by unscrewing it. 2. Pull gentle the button and you should hear a click when it's out as it's fitted like a lego piece in 2 holes. by 2 plastic pins.  3. Slide gently the top half of the pen (the plastic grip). 4. This part should be easy as the bottom half of the pen comes out fairly easily (a.here in the eraser cap you should have 2 small springs that normally go inside of each other, b. there is a rail inside it through which you should slide the circuit board when you assemble it and it helps you to position it correctly) 5. This is the protective housing where the board is kept. 6. Slide gently the circuit board from the plastic main housing. Please find the steps in the follo

Wacom Intuos4 pen stylus repair

Image
Yesterday the right button of my pen from Wacom Intuos4 stopped working and was feeling a bit stiff too.. Gino got it open to see what was the problem.. it obviously needed repair as something inside the pen kept on bouncing.. 2 little springs came out from the eraser nib, and then the entire printed circuit board was taken out.. a small square piece of metal disattached fell off.. this was obviously the problem.. it was the component that makes the button work.. reassembled it carefully using the tweezers to have it working for a day and now back to square one.. same thing.. the piece fell off again.. there are some small claws to it to grab onto the PCB but it looks like there is no place to fit them in, so I glued the entire piece on the sides.. is drying now, so fingers crossed and hope it will work this time.. it's pretty expensive to replace it with a new one as on amazon is at £65.. I'm a graphic designer so I need my pen on daily basis.. especially

How to fix your Wacom Intuos4 pen stylus

Image
Yesterday my wacom pen stylus just fell from my hand right onto the tip. I don't know how it slipped but the button jumped and I could see through the button holes the PCB. I unscrewed the pen tip and removed the rubber grip. I cleaned it on the inside from collected dust (just like you would get with the wheel mouse), and put everything back in. To put everything back in I started with the rubber grip which slided over the plastic pen, then put the button back into the holes and pressed gently until I heard a click which meant the buttons became stable. At last I screwed the pen tip back and now my pen it's functioning normal. If there are people clumsy like me hope this post will help you solve your problem. I added a photo to visualize it better :) Good luck everyone! For more info please check my other post where I fixed a different problem with the button and it's all explained with the aid of photos.
