In the fullscreen mode of Shotwell 0.22.0, the toolbar was pinned open, and would not respond to any clicking. I am using Fedora 22. I'm not sure whether this affects many people or if it is just something weird that happened to me, but here is the workaround:
1. Install dconf-editor.
2. Open dconf-editor.
3. Click 'org' on the left, then click 'yorba, then 'shotwell', then 'preferences', then 'ui'.
4. Click the checkbox 'pin-toolbar-state'.
Strangely, after using this workaround the toolbar began responding to clicking and working normally.

Fixing an LED headtorch
I purchased an LED headtorch that has an adjustable lens. When the lens was pulled out to focus it, a plastic ring would dislodge and block the LED. The fix was simple: glue the plastic ring in place with a hot glue gun.
The lens unscrews off, in the middle is the plastic ring. I'm not sure what the ring does, but I think it helps direct the light from the LED, and/or keeps the LED board pressed down at the right angle.

Repair of a cheap chinese Ni-MH battery charger
The screws are hidden under a sticker. |
Three screws and some plastic clips join the two halves of the case together. |
The pins at the bottom left are the AC terminals. They are supposed to sit to the left of the yellow capacitor. |
The reverse side of the board. |
The pins after being soldered back in. Better than new! |
