The six month voting window for ISO/IEC adoption of the OASIS OpenDocument

night it was announced internally that ODF had been approved by the ISO 
members eligible and interested in casting a vote.  The vote passed with
broad participation and no negative votes (there were a few abstentions),
and ODF is now ISO/IEC 26300.

Re: [NLC] Drip Dry Phone it is alive!

2006-05-05 Thread Bruce Labitt
So after taking the phone apart, blowing the water out with compressed 
air as much as possible, I put it in a jar filled with a desiccant.  
After a few days the water droplets inside the display unit seemed to 
dissappear.  The moment of truth had arrived.  I put the battery in the 
phone and attached it to the charger.  To my amazement the display lit 
up and showed a charging symbol.  I considered that a good omen.  Every 
minute the phone would beep.  I looked that up in the manual, all that 
meant was that the battery was flat...  After about 20 minutes on charge 
(and 20 beeps) I turned on the phone and connected to my local carrier.  
The phone set its time from the network.  So it was successfully brought 
back from the dead.  Only minor issue is a blotching in the display - a 
reminder of its washing.


I did not rinse out the phone with alcohol or distilled water.  Does 
anyone think I should remove the battery and go for a better bath/clean 
out of the crud - or should I leave well enough alone?


Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes!

Yeah!

Not at this point. Doing that before drying would have increased
chances of success, but if you've only got a mild blotch on the
screen, you're doing pretty well.
