  2. I built one... on Ideas for a Multipurpose Garage Workshop? · · Score: 1

    I built one for my office not too long ago: 85" long x 24" deep x 30" inches tall (standard height for most tables). I'd build one slightly taller for your needs. I made mine using face frame construction via pocket holes and a prefab glue up top from home depot. I added an extra half depth shelf under for all of the boxen, printers and scanners that I work with (keeps them out of the way). I have a large space dedicated to build area for new machines and an extra KVM cable for testing them out on an old monitor. The only thing I would change on the bench is to make it easier to do power (see earlier recommendations for a long power strip). I also keep all of my screws, tools, cable ties, standoffs, etc in a little storage case designed for bead craft (see your local fabric or craft store). I keep it next to the bench at all times. The case itself isn't all that big, but it holds all my stuff and the lid prevents contents from mixing from one cell to another. I do a lot of woodworking as a hobby and I totally recommend looking in any of the Shopnotes or Woodsmith mags (Wood too) for ideas on storage solutions for various parts and tools. Who knows...you might just turn a plan for a table saw blade storage system into a mobo storage unit! I'm building a clamp storage rack tomorrow before I go restore some lady's hard drive at work. Grrrrr...

    Good luck and always count your fingers and your toes before and after each cut!

    As a user of XP RC2, Microsoft's release canidates are extremely close to their actual product. From XP RC2 to XP 2600, I found no changes (except for the build number and "Evaulation Use Only" missing from the desktop).

    You weren't using it very much is what you are saying, right?

  23. Dude. on Organizing and Analyzing Mounds of Research Text? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Four years ago, I stopped working on my Master's thesis in Social Anthropology. Now, I'm getting back to it again, and I find there's a _lot_ of text to deal with. I have a 350-page field diary, a dozen transcripts of recorded interviews, lists of books and articles, extensive notes about the books and articles, and the books and articles themselves in dead-tree or electronic format. I want to organize _all_ of it. I need to keep track of all the different text files on my computer (most are in MS formats, though I now use GNU/Linux), which ideally means keeping personalized sets of metadata about each file, linking files to other files and to entries in bibliography lists, and having some sort of version control.

    Dude. Quit procrastinating and write the damn thing...your teachers have no clue who you are and it will be a surprise when you dump said "thesis" on their desks.
