Does anyone know who can laser cut stones, (ONYX, MOP, Lapis, Turquois) wood, and leather to be inlay-ed onto cufflinks, tie bars, and money clips?

Re: Go back and do it right: a better punched tape reader

I recently finished reading "Colossus - the secrets of Bletchley Park's Codebreaking Computers" by B. Jack Copeland and others. They routinely managed 5000 characters per second with punched tape in 1944 using the world's first valve based stored program digital computer (ENIAC was not the first). On page 146 they describe the use of lenses and double-crescent masks to generate a nearly rectangular pulse of light for the photoelectric reader as a circular hole passed the light source... perhaps an idea for your third revision... :-) Thinking about it.. you could get the same effect as a double crescent mask by putting a small dot of something non IR transmitting (paint?) in the centre of each LED....

Hi Nicole! Thanks - so glad you like the tunes! :)
Craft night is generally a time when people bring their own projects and hack around the tables and ask each other for advice and help on what they're hacking on.

That said, we do have a new project that's on the wall expressly to be hacked on by craft night attendees! The Glowpanel is 40 superbright pixels of diffused color awesomeness and waiting for you to hook it up with animations, etc!

If you have tapes not on http://dustyoldcomputers.com/p... I would like to get a copy of the contents to add the the PDP-8 software archive. My email is at the bottom on http://www.pdp8online.com

Why don't you get together with the MARCH group http://www.midatlanticretro.or.... They have all the old PDPs that you would want to work with and the people there know how to use this technology. I bet they would love to have you come by.

1. resurrect a PDP-8
2. Emulate a PDP-8

Is this an example of Bit Rot? Fortran stinky? Sure you're not thinking of RatFor?

Hi - I am not at all affiliated with the good folks of NYC Resistor, and I hope they don't mind my spreading the word about my own program on their site, but the Lab for Robotics Education is organizing a free robotics summer program for NYC high school students this summer - you should check us out at http://thelare.org/ and encourage your child to apply! Thanks! :-)

Hi! NYC Resistor looks awesome. Just wondering, what happens at Craft Night? Is it sort of a hack on whatever you want event, or is there a planned activity? Should I be bringing my own materials? Thanks! (Also, @Eric Skiff - I love your music! I listen to the Resistor Anthems all the time. :-) )

I am working on a project to 3-D print ceramics and looking for an association with some one interested in ceramics, modelling and has mechanical skills. Not all required, I can supply some of each. Could lead to a part time or full time job.

Hi -

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a place in NYC where you could buy ultraviolet LEDs in bulk for cheap?
