a few months back i took apart my mp3 player to replace the hard drive. I thought all was well but the recurring headphone jack problem continued. So i found some instructions on how to fix it, which is apparently another common problem people have with creative mp3 players. It involved taking the player apart again and looking at the headphone jack connection. In my case all 4 connection points were loose, so the jack actually fell off when i picked the circuit board up. So great work there by creative! Was going to use home solder but the end was too big. The local tv, radio repairman fixed it up, although cost me $20 for 10 mins work. Good thing it works again. So after 3 months, and $70 i have a working 1gb mp3 player.
anyone thinking about creative mp3’s would have to reconsider buying one. To have the hard drive and the headphone jack fail in 2 years is pretty dodgy to me.
Finally discovered out the problem in my knee. Not actually my knee but thats where you feel the pain. You have a lubricating sac (bursa) where three tendons from the hamstring muscles join. Due to the fact that I did no running last year, all my muscles are really tight. Plus I have always had tighter hamstring muscles. Add on that all the running I have been doing lately due to soccer training I have inflamed the bursa. Its a combination of overuse, because before it had no use and not stretching enough to relive the tight muscles. The physio gave me a good massage, which hurt like hell on my sore muscles, and now I just need to stretch my hamstrings to get better.
I didnt play soccer on the weekend. It was the first game of the season, but the team won 4-2 which is a great start.
have not had much to write about lately. life just same old really. have one assignment out of the way for honours year. next due in 2 and a bit weeks so no time to rest, although thats all i feel like doing. these assignments really aren’t that interesting and all theory based which isnt my favourite topic focus at all.
only interesting thing is my knees have been quite sore all week, and for no apparent reason. i did play soccer on Sunday, but they were a bit sore before the game, so i think the game made them worse. then worked 7 hrs last night and they were just aching the whole time. its in my knee joints so really weird, maybe getting too old, he he. so have been using the heat pack alot to try and get them better.
