I understand "dinking" as takng the time to explore all the purmutaions
of a given endevour. For me, it came to full fruition when I (along with
a group of like-minded souls) took a long, long bicycle trip, during
which we refined "dinking" to a fine art, spending quality time at
cafes, pubs, roadside views. It was the life.

Terry,

You have me laughing.

"Dinking" - One can dink with - an object, procedure and probably
thoughts. 
I have used fiddly dink, twiddle or fiddle with, or tweak(ing).   In
terms 
of the Warthin Starry, we tweaked, fiddled, twiddled and "dinked" this 
method, but not the Steiner - our chosen method.

The term came from our electron microscopist's vernacular, year ago and
he 
was always "fiddly dinking" with things, usually to make whatever he was

doing work better.  A clever person with lots of creativeness.   Where
he 
got the term, I don't know.

Well, I am off to "dink" around in my the lab, it is a slow day and a
Friday.
