Final Thoughts...
To match the theme of this entire article being a little different as a whole,
I decided that my final thoughts today should be mixed up a little... this was
a really fun project to do. The time and planning, the research and the
experimentation was a really rewarding and exciting part of this project.
Admittedly though.... this project took alot longer than I would have ever
expected. Many people emailed me with concern over the future of invent geek.
And with the influx of emails it really made me think about the entire purpose
of the site. Granted it is a creative outlet for those like my self. But I
realized there was more to it for me.
One thing that rang true for me was that alot of commentary I received was with
regards to the final thoughts pages of the articles I have written. Alot of
people want more of an overview, or summary, or just

| some form of a formal closure to the article. Well
here is where our site differs from many out there. We want you in some way or
in part to expound on the projects we have done. For those who haven't read the
about us page I really recommend doing so, the spirit of our projects and our
goal of this site is really captured there. We revel in great and new
discoveries.... but we cherish the ability of creative and divergent thinking
with a practical or even semi-practical use in our daily lives. Take what we
have done here and add to it. We know some parts are rough and unrefined. But
that's the whole goal. To at least create a framework that others can add to
and evolve into something really great. It is with that spirit that humanity
exists, open source software can have a place in the real world, and those who
fear change fight and legislate against. So pick up a hammer or torch and put
some time into gaining experience, and share what you have learned with others
that share the same interest. Experience never hurt any one, yet unbridled
ignorance has. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt "People grow through
experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character
is built."
We thank those that have supported our cause and interests and we will be adding
some more functionality soon to open this up more to the community as a whole.

I have received some emails from people constructing this that have used other
winches that don't seem to be compatible with the system we have here. Remember
to carefully spec out your own stuff. This is not meant to be a comprehensive
guide, but more to help others with the complicated design of a system like
this.
