Going to Extremes for the Sake of Being a Cheapskate

How far would you be willing to go for avoid roaming charges from your cellular provider ? For one guy , an elaborate DIY push - pushing machine did n’t seem like it was overkill .

You see , Mok Young Bacq work for a mobile biz monitoring service and — as part of his problem — occasionally has to carry out a number of actions from three cellphones . That task requirement would n’t be a bighearted deal if Bacq did n’t like to travel so much that he could n’t keep up with the roaming charges .

His root ? An insanely elaborate DIY machine associate to a computing machine . All Bacq has to do is log on occasionally and make certain that everything is running smoothly :

This user interface method uses a television camera to expect at each phone . It ’s hung taper downward and move like a pendulum to look at one of the three screens at a time . Each earpiece has one servo motor for each button , which uses a pliable cable television as an actuator . Now he can take trip abroad , just checking in over the Internet for his two 17 - time of day weekend shifts ( 10 am to 3 am the next good morning ) working the telephone set .

Nuts ? Probably , but at least the man gets to revel his travels without fretting about a phone Federal Reserve note . [ Hack A DayviaSlashGear ]

Whoops ! look like wealready postedabout this fellow . Sorry about the repetition , folks .
