bodge/bɒdʒ/verb BRITISH informal make or repair (something) badly or clumsily. "the door was bodged together from old planks"The backstory: SO, I've recently been talking on Google Hangouts with Amanda and various friends, most nights now, and talking well into the early hours of the morning has necessitated using an audio headset. So I went and gots me one! Trouble is, it's a desktop PC headset, so it has a pink pokey bit that goes in the microphone pokey bit receptacle, and a green pokey bit whatfer going in the speaker pokey bit receptacle. But my laptop only has ONE audio pokey bit receptacle, which can either be for a microphone, or loudspeakers, or headphones, etc etc. And hence the bodge - and by extension, this thread. I needed to turn two plugs, into one, which I could plug into my laptop and have the microphone AND speaker working on the headset. This is what I started with, soldering together various bits until I got a thing which worked! Prototyping a Thing by Azayles, on Flickr And this is what I ended up with! Doneski! by Azayles, on Flickr Have YOU ever had to bodge some tech to get it to work? Tell us about it!

o.O I swear I thought this said tech blogs. See, if I ever was trusted with a soldering thingy I would manage to burn my poor sweet fingers. xD I did however hold up my laptop hinge with duct tape once.

Unfortunately, I don't have any bodges to speak of, haha. I'm sure there are probably some in the past that I'm just not remembering right now though.
