This is taken from my copy of "They Have a Word For It", by Howard Rheingold:
bricoleur (French): A person who constructs things by random messing around without following an explicit plan. [noun]
I have often heard it applied to people who use objects or systems in ways the original designers did not anticipate; Levi-Strauss also defines it as someone who plays with objects and technology in order to gain a deeper understanding of them. Or, in short, a hacker (in the original sense).

VPC on an iBook is quite usable with CodeWarrior 9. I use it to test ARM code on the Palm OS Simulator. it connects reliably (on CW 8, it took an average of 20 minutes of retrying/rebooting to get it too work!)
