In Rainbows

So, not only did the site get severely overloaded the first couple of days it was up (never saw that one coming!), but they appear to have hired a 13 year-old myspace aficionado to design the thing. Honestly, life’s too short to waste time on this. I think I have all the music I’ll need… Continue reading In Rainbows

Building a MAME cabinet 12

Today I got to work with the ledger boards which will support the monitor shelf and the various panels. To avoid external screw holes, I’m pre-drilling countersink holes on the ledgers from the inside. The first thing I did today was mark all the way around the side 1 1/4″ in from the edge. This… Continue reading Building a MAME cabinet 12

At least, I thought it was… Continue reading Building a MAME cabinet 11

This morning, mini-Elbeno decided to look at one of Daddy’s books.

It seems to be correctly installed: next step is to go back to Practical Common Lisp et al and refresh… Continue reading Webular lisp

Building a MAME cabinet 10

Today I did some more work on the cabinet. Little by little, it’s progressing. I figure the trick is just to keep at it. So I tackled the somewhat daunting task of routing a 3/4″ groove at the base of the sides to slot the cabinet base into. I had some trouble attaching the router… Continue reading Building a MAME cabinet 10

Projects update

This morning I did a bit more work on the MAME cabinet. It’s coming along slowly. I now have both sides cut out (and they match each other!) and the slots cut for the t-molding, which I received in the week. The slot cutter bit was too big to fit through my router’s base, so… Continue reading Projects update
