Too Many Ideas - The impworks Blog
Paper House Beta 1
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007I started work on a set of simple, cardboard building models using pepakura originally for Serious and Organised but which, like Serious and Organised, I’ve yet to finish. A discussion on the SFSFW mailing list kicked me into finishing a simple one of a house. It can either be used as a single, semi-detached house […]
No TT this Week
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007I’ve not pulled my Thursday Thirteen together in time for this week so if you stopped by looking for it sorry.

Pepakura Revisited
Monday, August 20th, 2007When I first got Pepakura designer I played with it a bit but didn’t really get into using it. The last couple of days I’ve been playing with it again working up some simple building models for table top gaming. I’ll post the first buildings soon if I’m happy with them.
Printer Weirdness
Sunday, August 19th, 2007I was trying to printing out something to take along for some friends to read (or some might say to inflict on some friends. My PC said the files had gone to the printer. The printer sat there. I checked the cables. I checked the paper feed. I checked the ink. Nothing. So I went […]
Bounty II Visits Liverpool
Saturday, August 18th, 2007I had a less leisurely start to Saturday as I did a mad dash for my food shopping so I could get down to the Albert Dock in Liverpool to see the Bounty II, an oversized replica of the original HMAV Bounty which was making a one day stop to raise funds for the restoration […]
Combinations, Permutations and Speaker Stands
Friday, August 17th, 2007I’ve got a GCSE in design; I’ve got A-levels in sciences and mathmatics; I’ve got a degree in engineering; I’ve got a kind of postgraduate qualification no ones ever heard of; so why does it take me two hours to assemble two speaker stands? Were the instructions not clear? Well once you’d put it together […]
The Cook, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother
Friday, August 17th, 2007I’ve almost finished the follow up to the (to be published) Electron Jockey. One scene in the second act and then the third act to write. Four characters have become the focus of the story hence the new title I’m toying with of “The Cook, The Kriegsherr, His Femme Fatale & Her Brother” although I’m […]

Wordless Wednesday #19
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007A few weeks ago I posted a moth that flew into my kitchen to avoid a storm. Tonight I’ve got another one that I found there when I was cooking last night. These shots don’t really do it justice as I didn’t manage to get one of it with it’s wings open while it wasn’t […]
