I'm fixing cars (http://www.fusselman.org/wp/2012/10/09/the-most-appalling-car-repair-ever/) and trying to tidy up the Brushless Scooter (coming to a presentation near you someday soon!).

What about you?

I'm open sourcing SoundHeap!

I found out that android changed a lot of junk, too, so i'm trying to get everything up to snuff with modern android setups. For example, I am pulling out the sound library into an android library and then plan on lsiting it as a dependency for my app.

Hopefully that'll be done this week!

I took apart a 100+-year-old window tonight, after learning that the previous owner screwed it shut with a #6 x 2" screw that immediately snapped off when I tried to unscrew it. Had to remove the trim and pull the whole thing apart. On the plus side, I now know that repairing the broken sash cords on two other windows won't be a problem to fix!

And I'm putting the whole house back in order once the painters finish with the outside.

And building a workbench for a friend... so he has a place for his tools for his next "appalling car repair".

Yes. I stand corrected. "...with a friend..."

I think it would be less messy if you built it with wood.

I had a friend that I referred to as a "tool box"... He wasn't my friend after that... :)

If you've been working on that stereo, perhaps you just /think/ you've lost your voice :)

Trying to extend the life of my cell phone--once again. New external case, keys on keypad, possibly LCD and digitizer. Dropped it a week ago, the touchscreen stopped working and the LCD display went down to two colors.

This will be the 3rd or 4th digitizer, but the first out of body experience. In the mean time, "please leave a message and I will get back to you."

Relocating my office to an upstairs bedroom and tearing down the first draft of my raised bed garden. Next draft will start fabrication over the winter.

Any one have a brand preference for rear struts? I'm looking at these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012WYI58/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I'm going the complete method because I want to use the old springs which I've been told are high carbon steel to eventually make a solar forged sword/kitchen knives.

Working, just like I do every week. Seriously, I should get the next weekend off. 2 months without a day off, don't mind the overtime but would like a day to get things done.
