Comics: growing up
July 11, 2010 – 7:51 pm




I’m making some progress, quite slowly though. It took me several months to complete the truss rod route – but it could have been done in 2 days of proper work, or in 10 minutes with a router. I started shaping the neck but my plane is too big for the edges. I will get a smaller block plane to straighten it up and then proceed with cutting and gluing the fretboard. Meanwhile, I’ll probably start cutting the body.
Since I posted the first part, I have spent most of the time working on my tools rather than the guitar.
It has been quite long since I first considered building my own guitar. It has also been long since I first wanted to get into woodworking/sculpting. I’ve finally taken it beyond the aspiration phase to actual execution. I will be documenting the process in a series of posts, of which this is the first.
If you’ve been saying the above statement before, this program is for you.
It’s an alarm clock application for S60 phones (more specifically Nokia 5800) written in Python Read the rest of this entry >>
Tomorrow I’m handing in my final project for my CS studies. This project is built in C#, and I was looking for a way to automatically create documentation that will aid browsing and understanding the main classes and their functions.
A friend had told me about Sandcastle and I looked it up. Sandcastle is a project by Microsoft, that is intended to create MSDN-style documentation from .NET assemblies…
Zeke‘s comment about Wikislate being down has inspired me to fix and upgrade my script.
I have also decided to put it under a new domain of its own – wikislate.com
There’s a bunch of new features (because the old script was so basic…) that focus on ease of use.
Wikislate is a tool for translating nouns, and was designed for translation of technical terms. It uses Wikipedia as its data-source and automates a process that I was doing manually for a while, and is described in elzr’s blog and in my introduction of the old version.
Enjoy =)
