Its been a solid week of work here at ultrascience labs. I am working on a modular shelving design. I'll have the results posted soon, and it should look fairly sharp. If the design proves solid, I'll start tracking down materials supplies. Prototype ETA: End of the week?

As long as the current warm snap stays, I will have the chance to complete the wood finishing. Aside from that, just a little metal fabrication, and finally, assembly and testing. Please give me any feedback once I post photos. Please keep it constructive, tell me what is cool and what isn't. I'll have some more details concerning any material or design changes once I have the protoype built (it's easier to explain with pictures.)

Also, I am going to enlist the services of some critical peers to provide user feedback. I will probably use a simple decision matrix to produce ratings that are weighted. For example, one user might find the product's end cost more importance than another user, so his or her review would be more helpful for a user that felt similary about the price tag.

Contact: bruce42@netins.net Pricing information will be posted when the design is refined and formalized and I have material and labor costs figured.

Up to number 2?! That is certainly cause for celebration. Hey, let's celebrate by updating MDPortal! Who's with me?

Hey!, if anyone is interested in Blizzard games, check out Mike's Diablo Portal. On a google search for mdportal we're number 2!

Hey, Mike! Now that I have access to a content management system, we can post some fresh new updates! We could build character archives, item archives...

If we made the item archives like the project logs, we could use item names instead of author names to build an easily updateable catalogue in the content frame. Then in the menu frame to the right, we could have a few drop-down lists to select by item and display a list of rings, or armor, etc...

We could even build the Diablo II encyclopedia with super speed! Hey, what great ideas! woot!

indeed. I put the shelves up and they work quite nicely. I just need to make a few changes for the production model- particularly the bracket design. The brackets are sturdy, just a pain to work with. I am going to get some pics up; maybe by tomorrow.

I hope the shelves do turn out to be solid. Nobody likes an infirm unit.
