![]() ![]() Maybe I can convince her to come back up here for another marathon sanding session □ Now that I helped my friend make one I need to get busy on ours. I hope you liked this easy DIY Giant Jenga Game tutorial. It smarts to have a game piece hit your foot. Watch your toes, and little kids, around this game. The person who causes the giant jenga stack to fall over during their turn is the “loser!” Those pieces are stacked in the same manner as the initial stack. But that might be a good strategy to try.ĭIY 2×4 Plant Stand – DIY Modern 2×4 BenchĢ×4 Outdoor Side Table – 33 Amazing 2×4 ProjectsĮach person takes a turn pushing/pulling one piece out from somewhere in the stack and sets it on the top. If your tower leans too much your game may not last very long. Stack them as straight as you can while stacking. Continue that process until you have 18 rows of 2 pieces each. On top of those stack 3 more across the first row. To stack up your Giant Jenga game lay 3 pieces side by side. If the pieces feel like they’ll stick together instead of sliding easily you might need to do a light sand with a 220 Grit sandpaper. Or the paper will stick to giant jenga pieces and be hard to get off. And still others paint the ends in fun colors.Ī light coat works best and you’ll want to make sure there’s no puddling. If you wish you can add a light coat of polycrylic. She was sweet enough to snap some photos of the rest of the process. Ok, I’ll be honest, we were rushing to go enjoy a little happy hour libations before she left the next morning. My friend lives in Southern CA and we were so pooped when we finally finished the two-day game making marathon that I forgot to take finished photos. If you want a hardwood set, those will cost you 5-7 times what we made this DIY Giant Jenga set for. You can buy pre-made sets online as well. But for just $20 in lumber and a little time sanding the pieces are smooth and the game will be fun. I’m not going to say this was a fast project, even I was surprised at how long it took us to sand. ![]() We had the shop vac hooked up to the bench sander and that knocked down a lot of the sanding dust. Sanding your 54 Giant Jenga game pieces will make them slide out from between other pieces so much easier.Īlmost done! Thank God for ear plugs and dust masks. And maybe you don’t but if you’re using construction lumber you’ll usually see milling marks and such that would make it very hard to play. Now some people will tell you that you don’t need to sand. Always work in patent leather flip flops □ I think my friend took a lesson from me in her work attire. But using the palm sander worked just fine as well. I’m so glad that my daughter and her hubby bought me the orbital sanderfor Christmas. We played a little sander musical chairs. Then those were passed along to the other two and they got another pass with 120 Grit sandpaper. Working together with my friend and my hubby we started with 60 Grit on the bench sander. He said he doesn’t really use it so I can keep it at our house until he does □ It’s 20 years old and it’s a beast. I was blessed that my brother “lent me” his bench sander. Lock the fence into place and proceed to cut the rest of your pieces. It’s always best to be a bit longer and cut off a bit more. You can practice this step on scraps and make necessary adjustments. Adjust the fence of the miter saw until the non-moving saw blade lines up with the pencil mark. Place the 2×4 on the miter saw and against the wood block. When you’re ready to cut the pieces measure and mark the 2×4 at 10-1/2″. Alternatively you could also use a clamp. But not long enough to stick out too far. Make sure you use screws that are long enough to pass through the metal and into the wood. The have holes in them and, they usually slide out to adjust for varying cut lengths.Īnyway, find a piece of scrap that has a square end and attach it to the fence from the back. On your miter saw look at your fence (that’s the vertical part at the back. It’s not super important that your lengths be exact, but if you’re OCD like me I’ll show you how to how you make them exact. (who’s idea was it to actually make them smaller than the name? #truthinmarketing?) The 2x4s are cut to 10-1/2″ because three 2x4s side-by-side measures 10-1/2″. Are you wondering why jenga pieces are 10-1/2″? Set up your miter saw and cut all your pieces to 10-1/2″. But you’ll likely have some areas you want to cut around, such as knots or gouged areas. Mathematically you’ll get 9 giant jenga pieces from each 2×4 and that equals 6 2×4 boards. ![]()

The klaxons ring, so Maya has to leave, but confirms they're going to the sperm bank on Tuesday as proof she was listening.

Carina says she can still do the pill, as early as tomorrow. Vic is horrified at the thought of waiting another week, because she already feels miserable. If Carina does it before then, they run the risk of incompletion. Carina puts on her doctor voice and tells Vic it's strongly recommended that she wait until she's at least six weeks for a surgical abortion. She tells Carina she's changed her mind and wants to have a surgical abortion instead of the pill, because she wants to be unconscious for it. Vic goes to Carina and pulls her aside to talk. She makes it clear to him that without an evaluation, she can't clear him. If he's interpreted it that way, they have a lot of work to do. She reminds him that she's never reprimanded him. If the purpose of the session is to reprimand him, she can consider him reprimanded. He tells her he's in the middle of a huge custody battle and starting the clinic.

A section of Virginia State Route 658 remains labeled as “Blackhead Signpost Road” in reference to these events. In the 10 days that followed, these white militias killed as many as several hundred blacks, some slaves, some free, many of whom had had nothing to do with the rebellion.īlacks suspected of participating in the rebellion were beheaded by the militia and “their severed heads were mounted on poles at crossroads as a grisly form of intimidation”. There was widespread fear in the aftermath, and white militias raised from the civil population organized in retaliation to the rebels.

Ultimately he and his friends were able to enlist more than 70 enslaved and free Blacks, some of whom were on horseback. ![]() ![]() Even this didn’t work as expected. If Safari has no idea what RSS reader to use, a “No RSS reader is installed” message should appear when you select an RSS feed, prompting you to pick an RSS reader from the Mac App Store. I tried to get it to shift to NetNewsWire (my preferred RSS reader) as my default RSS choice, but it would not allow me to do so.Įventually, I selected RCDefaultApp’s “Disable” option, hoping that would act to “turn off” the program. Unfortunately, RCDefaultApp (which has not been updated since 2009) does not seem entirely compatible with Mountain Lion. This is where the choice of Fluid had originated. With Safari no longer accepting RSS feeds, RCDefaultApp was attempting to find a substitute. I had installed RCDefaultApp, a third-party System Preferences pane that lets you assign default apps to various functions. ![]() What a mess! By this point, I was thinking: “How can anyone view all of this as an improvement from how things worked in Safari 5?” However, it turned out that the mess was not entirely Apple’s fault. Safari next attempted to shunt RSS feeds to another app, again one that rejected the RSS feed. As I was no longer using Fluid, I decided to delete the app, to see what would happen next. ![]() The problem was that Fluid didn’t want to accept this assignment hence the error. I assumed that Safari, now that it was not opening RSS links anymore, had somehow selected Fluid as an RSS reader. How unhelpful! Fortunately, I had a reasonable idea as to what was going on. It claimed an “Infinite Loop” error had been detected:Ĭlicking the “Send URL to Safari” button simply regenerated a new copy of the message. So what did happen to my Safari RSS requests in Mountain Lion? Instead of going to Mail, an odd error message appeared. Making matters worse, when I launched Mail, I found that all of my previously saved RSS items had vanished. Essentially, RSS support has been entirely removed from OS X. It turns out that, in Mountain Lion, RSS support is gone from Safari and Mail. I selected an RSS link in Safari 6, expecting it to go to Mail. Once more, I was surprised by the result. Rather than bother, I just let the situation stand for the moment, accepting Mail as the recipient of RSS links originating in Safari.Ī few weeks later, I updated to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I knew there were ways to work-around this. And I certainly didn’t want Mail cluttered up with hundreds of RSS items. As I didn’t use Mail as my email client, I didn’t want these RSS feeds shunted to Mail. This is when I realized that RSS support in Safari was gone. ![]() The first time I selected an RSS link in Safari 6, it automatically shunted me to OS X Mail, where it opened each RSS summary as a separate item (as if each one was an email message). Browser RSS support is also perfect for when a link to an RSS feed appears in an web article you can open the link without having to switch applications or subscribe to the feed.]įor me, the rumblings started when I updated to Safari 6 while still running OS X Lion. For example, I have a few RSS feeds saved as bookmarks, allowing me (until now) to quickly check on them directly from Safari. While most people (including myself) don’t use Safari as a complete substitute for a dedicated reader, Safari’s RSS support provides a convenient way to open RSS URLs (feed://) without having to switch to a separate application. NetNewsWire is an example of a popular RSS reader on the Mac. This can save time and hassle compared to having to separately visit each site to check for updates. From an “RSS reader” application, users can track these summaries, deciding which items to click through to read in full. Even Apple has a page listing its own RSS feeds. ![]() [Background note: RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” It’s a way for a regularly updated site to publish standardized summaries of its latest postings. Worse, anyone who now tries to access an RSS feed from Safari 6 is likely to wind up more dazed and confused than before. Apple…you’ve got some ‘splainin to do! What were you thinking when you made the wrong-headed decision to remove RSS support from Safari 6 and OS X Mountain Lion?

![]() ![]() Either of these IDEs though provide me with the ability to now dig deeper into Node.js itself whilst examining exactly what's going on in the code which is the objective I really started with. It's possible that I've missed something around that in configuration (again, as a beginner), but I was able to achieve what I wanted with both. I found that Webstorm was relatively quick to set up and get to the point of debugging, but I found a slight annoyance that I had to keep restarting the debugger after a file edit, which I didn't have to do with VS Code. ![]() It seemed to me (from my beginner's perspective) that setting things up in VS Code was a lot more complicated than Webstorm, but the result was slightly better. ![]() I will say though that both IDEs make it possible for the management of Docker containers and the step debugging. I'll not repeat everything here that I've put in my Github repo's README.md file, as that file describes exactly what's need to be done for both VS Code and Webstorm to enable you to be able to run and step debug the Node.js app whilst running in a Docker container. Now there's the application, a Docker image that can be used to create a Docker container to run the app within it, the last thing left to do is integrate all of these with the IDE(s). or docker-compose up -d you can visit in the browser and view the Node.js app running in a Docker container. To remove the need to use quite a long command to create/run the Docker container, I created a docker-compose.yml file that enables all the command line options to be defined within a file under a 'service' definition (compose files are ideally for when you have many separate services to use, but that's a bit of a tangent in this context), so we can then just use docker-compose up -d instead of a long-winded docker run. The run command also mounts the current directory as a Docker volume to share the application code with the container as well as mapping the local port 3000 to the exposed container port. ) and how the container is then run with a docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v (pwd):/app alexsansom/nodejs_docker command. The comments in that file describe how to build the image ( docker build -t alexsansom/nodejs_docker. As you can see from the linked file, 'the specifics' were basically to install 'nodemon' (so that edits to the app are able to be reflected immediately in the browser), globally, in the container. The first step for this is to create a Dockerfile that uses the official Node Docker image for it's base, and then to add any specifics around that. Next up then is building a Docker image to be used as a template to create a container from that will run my simple app with Node.js. That's the app running locally on my machine, but my aim was to have this running in a Docker container, before getting to the point of being able to single step debug it using an IDE. Running the app, you then visit localhost:3000 in the browser to see its output. The simple application I chose was to serve a web page with a small variation on 'hello world', which also output's the time in milliseconds, so you can see that the page content is changing on each page refresh. A quick npm install after having installed node itself and you're ready to create an application. You see it used in a lot of examples around the web, and I've also had it previously recommended to me by a friend who's a full time Javascript developer. Looking around, it seems that the go-to web framework for Node.js is a package called ' express'. The general plan was to get a simple Node.js application running, which I could then build a Docker image for so that the app could run in a container, and then to see how the two different IDEs enabled the ability to be able to debug it. I've had a bit of time recently to finally start trying to dig into a few things, so I thought I'd (possibly unwisely exposing myself to potential information overload) combine a number of these things into a single small activity. ![]() A number of things I've had down on my 'todo' list to look at for a while are: VS Code (having seen in mentioned a fair amount whilst generally reading around), Node.js (have been meaning to take a look for ages, and it's supposed to work well with VS Code), Docker (I've been using it in recent projects but want to understand it better) and, Webstorm (as a possible alternative to VS Code for Node.js, as well as being part of the same family of IDE's as PHPStorm which I use frequently). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have any questions about commercial roofs, or you are looking for commercial roofing services, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team at Durasteel.
