Although this is a pretty old hack, we still like it because of its simplicity. This maker decided to put IKEA furniture to good use and build a PC mod out of a glass-top coffee table. Also check out the chair with a console embedded inside at the link below.

This was on my list of “Things to do for MAKE” and after seeing this Instructable, I just may cross it off. This is a great how-to with lots of pictures and instructions. You can have a lot of fun electroforming all sorts of cool stuff for your next project.

This release is largely about updates to the Writer SDK, which now includes hooks for pre- and post-publish events. These updates are still experimental and these APIs are not stable–we may make changes based on your feedback that break plug-ins that use these new methods. However, we’re really excited about the new set of scenarios have been unlocked and look forward to hearing feedback from all of you Writer plug-in developers out there.

When you think of the keyword this you probably assume it refers to the current instance of the class. This is true for most object oriented languages like C# and Java. But what about JavaScript?

At Tech Ed last week, I showed a prototype of integration between IronRuby and ASP.NET MVC. I was really happy about how straightforward this turned out to be; it’s a strong testament to the robustness of our hosting API that Levi on the ASP.NET MVC team was able to add IronRuby integration with only a simple example and the existing docs.

Simon writes in about his robot that plays a traditional Chinese Dulcimer. It is controlled by (2) Arduinos, which receive data via motion controllers and soil sensors. Yep, plants have a say in how the instrument is played!
It’s an interactive musical installation called “Three Pieces”, that’s our attempt to create something in keeping with the natural environment of the beautifully restored Victorian Palm House in the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. Rather than use computers and a PA, we decided to try and build something completely acoustic. In the end, we’ve got a traditional Chinese dulcimer and 12 chimes spread throughout the plants and foliage of the Palm House. The instruments are played robotically, controlled by two Arduinos.

First post to the ‘geekswithblogs’ home… just looking for a way to shunt my current wordpress stuff over here (converting their own ‘WordpressML’ to BlogML) then we’ll be cooking with gas…
I’ve found some tools for doing it, so hopefully I can get that working and see where we end up! May even write about that experience.. The world (as they say) is my oyster!

Here’s a great LEGO based Turing machine, Denis writes -
I chose to implement in Lego a slightly different version of the original Turing machine. Instead of having a bi directional tape, it uses a stack. When the symbol beneath the stack is read (and removed), the machine changes “states” and can add zero, one or two symbols on top of the stack.
This variation is maybe very different yet it is possible to show that this simple machine has the same capabilities than a Turing machine. Among other things, it can emulate a Turing machine placed on the stack.
I programmed a small interface (through an Access database so Microsoft Access must be installed on your computer) to enter an test simple Automaton With Append (AWA or AAA in French). Follow this link to download the demo: AAA.zip.
One reason to build the automaton with append instead of the original Turing machine was that I avoided building a bi directional (near) infinite tape.

In response to community pressure, Microsoft has removed project Sandcastle from their CodePlex website. This is a temporary move while they contemplate Sandcastles future.
Sandcastle is Microsoft’s answer to JavaDoc. Though in active use at Microsoft for several years, it is still a very rough project and appears to be no where near ready for general deployment. Prior to the release of .NET 2.0 and the announcement of Sandcastle the standard tool was the much more mature NDoc. Unfortunately NDoc is no longer being maintained
