I think I might have busted my laptop's fan - it now only works in an air-conditioned room.
Being a mainly software guy, it's interesting to have hardware problems pop up. (And frustrating too!)

For those who don't know - my laptop doesn't come with an integrated Bluetooth adapter unfortunately ):
One of my modules this semester involve building handphone apps, so I figured that was the perfect excuse to get a dongle (yes, I need justification to buy a SGD20 tech toy). Sides, I could play around with the wiimote too :D
So, went out and got it. I was expecting to play around with the wiimote alot, and simply uploading files onto the handphone to test. Well.
I ended up messing with bluetooth drivers for the laptop, started messing around with Symbian developer certificates (now that was a toughie), started messing about with getting my laptop to work as a gateway for the phone (Symbian S60v3, for those who are wondering).
Then I ended up getting the phone to work as a webcam using the inbuilt camera - all while messing around with COM ports.
And I probably ain't gonna NEED any of these stuff.
On the other hand - I can probably hook up my handphone to my laptop to act as a webcam, then stream that video feed to my handphone.
Or not.
