Walking the Fringe: January 2010
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Yes Will inventing a term that duplicates one of the most common words in the modern English language doom the term to failure? Sigh I guess I'll abandon my delusions of grandeur and revert to "aspiring wood craftsman" (but "week" is much simpler and catchier. :-) ). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Just this guy learning to be a craftsman. View my complete profile. My technical blog (very geeky).

Walking the Fringe: October 2006
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Thursday, October 05, 2006. The PC that Ate my Printer Paper. I recently set out to configure the PC my girls use for educational games to allow them to print from the PC to our printer connected to our 20" iMac. I had just slogged through getting a WiFi card to work with the Windows box. And was already pretty grouchy. But I figured printing is a solved problem, so what could go wrong? Then I decided to download Bonjour for Windows. After reconneting the printer to t...

Walking the Fringe: November 2007
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Wednesday, November 07, 2007. I've been feeling lately like I'm middle-aged. It's not something I could explain it in any clear way, beyond the obvious things (like having a couple of kids, a job that I need to pay the bills, thinking about whether I'm saving enough for retirement, etc.). Besides, you can have those things and not feel middle-aged. Then, tonight, it hit me: you're middle-aged when you read the vast majority of things because you need.

Walking the Fringe: Learning Cocoa: Peeling the Currency Converter Onion
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2007/01/learning-cocoa-peeling-currency.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Sunday, January 21, 2007. Learning Cocoa: Peeling the Currency Converter Onion. To try to make a few things gel. I know that Xcode 3.0 and a brand spanking new version of Interface Builder are due out with Leopard sometime this spring (of 2007), but I'm trying to learn as much as I can before then. After the new Xcode and Interface Builder come out, I may revisit this subject to weigh in on the dementia versus documentation debate. You'd better be up to date. We are i...

Walking the Fringe: Learning Cocoa: Links
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2007/01/learning-cocoa-links.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Sunday, January 21, 2007. I'm starting to spend more time trying to learn the Cocoa development frameworks. For those not familiar with it, Cocoa is a set of software development frameworks based around the Objective-C programming language. There are a number of different frameworks within Cocoa, including GUIs, networking (and IO in general), graphics and imaging, distributed computing, etc. The most obvious site for learning about Cocoa is the Apple developer website.

Walking the Fringe: Bathtub Reading Table
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2007/05/bathtub-reading-table.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Tuesday, May 15, 2007. I recently completed my latest woodworking project. It's a bathtub reading table made of mahogany. I designed it to be just wide enough between the outside supports to allow felt pads on the inside edges. This prevents the table and tub from being scratched, and provides a nice smooth surface for sliding the table back and forth. This is such a good idea. I bet there is a market for it somewhere. That's a good idea! Just this guy learning to be ...

Walking the Fringe: I wonder what's coming from Delta
http://walkingthefringe.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-wonder-whats-coming-from-delta.html
Scribblings from the Edge of Normal. Thursday, July 19, 2007. I wonder what's coming from Delta. Well, Delta Machinery. Has had a countdown clock on their website for more than a month now:. I think they are going to announce a new line of tools at the big AWFS woodworking show in Las Vegas. I hope it's something cool and not just an excuse to introduce a lower-quality line of tools made in China. Looks like I'll find out tomorrow. Did they announce anything interesting at the show?
