[2016-12-18 20:03:18 CET] I did nothing, Liz spent a lot of money [2016-12-18 20:03:42 CET] There was the usual christmas stuff, brass band carols etc [2016-12-18 20:04:02 CET] If it had Christmas in front of the name it was 3x the price normally [2016-12-18 20:04:20 CET] same here [2016-12-18 20:04:47 CET] Wordt was 4.00 for 2 slice of christmas cake. [2016-12-18 20:04:49 CET] most kiosks sell food and drinks [2016-12-18 20:04:58 CET] Supermarket would have been 1.00 [2016-12-18 20:05:51 CET] Yes, being a scotsman I held onto my money tighly :) [2016-12-18 20:06:14 CET] are you from scotland? [2016-12-18 20:06:21 CET] Yes [2016-12-18 20:06:56 CET] Near Lanark, between Glasgow and Edinburgh [2016-12-18 20:06:59 CET] scottish have voted for eu, isnt it? [2016-12-18 20:07:18 CET] Yesm but maybe its because England didnt [2016-12-18 20:07:57 CET] i found lanark on the map [2016-12-18 20:08:06 CET] it is very north. [2016-12-18 20:08:34 CET] oh, [2016-12-18 20:08:40 CET] not so north. [2016-12-18 20:08:44 CET] Yes, did you ever see the film Braveheart [2016-12-18 20:09:06 CET] same latitude as copenhagen [2016-12-18 20:09:32 CET] no, didnt watch thi movi. [2016-12-18 20:09:37 CET] Scotland benefits from the Gulf stream and doesnt freeze. [2016-12-18 20:09:38 CET] movie [2016-12-18 20:09:42 CET] Yep [2016-12-18 20:10:06 CET] is it worth watching? [2016-12-18 20:10:08 CET] Ah well, Lanark was where Wallace started the war of independance [2016-12-18 20:10:28 CET] Glasgow is as far north as Moscow [2016-12-18 20:11:08 CET] The movie is mostly hollywood nonsense, but yes, its worth watching [2016-12-18 20:11:25 CET] oh, really [2016-12-18 20:11:29 CET] Dont expect historical accuracy [2016-12-18 20:12:12 CET] Another fact - Nowhere in Scotland is more than 35 miles from the sea [2016-12-18 20:12:51 CET] land of fishn ips? [2016-12-18 20:12:56 CET] chips [2016-12-18 20:13:11 CET] You dont know how correct you are [2016-12-18 20:13:17 CET] and deep fried mars bar [2016-12-18 20:13:47 CET] mars b? [2016-12-18 20:13:51 CET] ba [2016-12-18 20:13:56 CET] bar? [2016-12-18 20:14:05 CET] Yes, do you know the seet - mars bar [2016-12-18 20:14:18 CET] Sweet [2016-12-18 20:15:13 CET] ou men the sweets mars? [2016-12-18 20:15:21 CET] you mean [2016-12-18 20:15:54 CET] Yes, about 100mm long, chocolater and camamel [2016-12-18 20:16:06 CET] yes i know [2016-12-18 20:16:08 CET] Did it in batter and deep fry it [2016-12-18 20:16:28 CET] Very very sweet. [2016-12-18 20:16:43 CET] never tried tthat way. [2016-12-18 20:17:00 CET] Its instant heart attack for us old guys [2016-12-18 20:17:02 CET] it will smell. [2016-12-18 20:17:23 CET] No, similar to chinese battered banana fritter [2016-12-18 20:17:39 CET] but a lot sweeter [2016-12-18 20:18:01 CET] we dont have a fryer [2016-12-18 20:18:20 CET] neither do wee, its sold in some fish and chip shops [2016-12-18 20:18:55 CET] Before I forget, at work I have found lots of "Voice cards" for our kit [2016-12-18 20:18:57 CET] there are no such huts here. [2016-12-18 20:19:15 CET] They will never be used again, biut have some interesting parts [2016-12-18 20:19:46 CET] There is a nice 2 x 11W amplifier with a very neet heatsink [2016-12-18 20:20:06 CET] and some sort of voice chip, but the vaoice isnt robotic so it may be an eprom [2016-12-18 20:20:34 CET] I'm going to grab a few, could you use either amplifier or chip? [2016-12-18 20:20:41 CET] just fixe words? [2016-12-18 20:20:49 CET] fixed [2016-12-18 20:21:01 CET] no variability? [2016-12-18 20:21:04 CET] Yes, like "Please take you ticket" [2016-12-18 20:21:37 CET] I dont think they can be changed. I know a site in Glasgow was going to get Sean Connery to record the messages [2016-12-18 20:21:42 CET] do they still work? [2016-12-18 20:21:44 CET] but it was too expensive [2016-12-18 20:22:09 CET] Yes, everything works. There is also a small microprocessor [2016-12-18 20:22:25 CET] that can be programmed but I dont think its of any use [2016-12-18 20:22:35 CET] how do they work? mp3 files? [2016-12-18 20:23:08 CET] I have no idea. My colleague was showing me them last week, but I was too busy to pay much attention [2016-12-18 20:23:32 CET] But he had the tech sheets from the web. For me the amplifier looks good [2016-12-18 20:23:38 CET] please, send a photo of the boards. [2016-12-18 20:23:57 CET] or tech sheet. [2016-12-18 20:24:03 CET] OK, I'll do it Tuesday when I am in the office [2016-12-18 20:24:30 CET] If they are any use you can have as many as you want [2016-12-18 20:24:49 CET] ok, will thnk about it. [2016-12-18 20:25:06 CET] Any new projects started [2016-12-18 20:25:12 CET] do you tinker with vacuum tubes? [2016-12-18 20:25:39 CET] No, I remember them but never did anything [2016-12-18 20:25:43 CET] Do you [2016-12-18 20:25:48 CET] yes, [2016-12-18 20:26:06 CET] but only with battery (100volt) [2016-12-18 20:26:10 CET] Any equipment? [2016-12-18 20:26:21 CET] portable radios. [2016-12-18 20:26:35 CET] new projects: [2016-12-18 20:26:47 CET] did you try enigma? [2016-12-18 20:26:48 CET] They amplifiers are supposed to sound better than modern ones [2016-12-18 20:27:17 CET] Yes, I did but havent looked at how to encrypt a message yet [2016-12-18 20:27:29 CET] this is a myth [2016-12-18 20:27:33 CET] Is there an interface to do that [2016-12-18 20:27:38 CET] Sound? [2016-12-18 20:28:03 CET] yes, sound. [2016-12-18 20:28:20 CET] enigma: [2016-12-18 20:28:21 CET] ( [2016-12-18 20:28:42 CET] Why (? [2016-12-18 20:28:45 CET] think i have send you a programm showin the [2016-12-18 20:29:11 CET] presettings, the radiogram and the encoded text. [2016-12-18 20:29:39 CET] All it seems to do is decode and print the message in line 180 [2016-12-18 20:29:49 CET] righ. [2016-12-18 20:29:53 CET] right. [2016-12-18 20:30:03 CET] No way to encode a message? [2016-12-18 20:31:12 CET] but,, if you chang the radiogram in your own text and apply the pgm, it willl code your text. [2016-12-18 20:32:22 CET] Cant load it to look just now [2016-12-18 20:32:51 CET] Ooops forgot it was a TAP and needed LOAD"" [2016-12-18 20:32:52 CET] i [2016-12-18 20:33:21 CET] leaned that jens has built a hardware verson of the enigma. [2016-12-18 20:34:13 CET] What! Now Way! I saw a picture and its complicated [2016-12-18 20:34:18 CET] was it en6? [2016-12-18 20:34:47 CET] yes, a raher big board [2016-12-18 20:34:50 CET] It wasy the Navy version with 4 rotors [2016-12-18 20:35:10 CET] with 10 chips; 26 leds [2016-12-18 20:35:40 CET] No real hardware, all logic in chips? Still very impressive [2016-12-18 20:35:51 CET] you know that we will have our meeting in apri. [2016-12-18 20:36:06 CET] Yep, mallherts [2016-12-18 20:36:24 CET] there jen and roko will present their results. [2016-12-18 20:36:58 CET] What happened to thyis years. I was looking for pics/reports [2016-12-18 20:37:09 CET] mahlerts would be interesting for you. [2016-12-18 20:37:26 CET] the pgm is not fixd now. [2016-12-18 20:37:32 CET] It would, flea market, ZXs everywhere [2016-12-18 20:37:55 CET] Are you going this year [2016-12-18 20:37:57 CET] depends on what the participants will bring. [2016-12-18 20:38:34 CET] i will go, and there werealways two guys from uk. [2016-12-18 20:38:49 CET] I miss the computer clubs and groups from the 80s. You are lucky having an active scene in germany [2016-12-18 20:39:15 CET] Are all presentations in german [2016-12-18 20:39:25 CET] yes, but the members are getting older. [2016-12-18 20:40:21 CET] presentations are in german, but if there are guests from abroad (uk, poland) also in eglish. [2016-12-18 20:41:06 CET] If I could make it I would go, but its a long way [2016-12-18 20:41:18 CET] I wonder how far to drive.... [2016-12-18 20:41:44 CET] might be you could join the both guys from uk? [2016-12-18 20:42:28 CET] Maybe, I'd need to see who they are. [2016-12-18 20:42:41 CET] Whats the nearest "big town to there" [2016-12-18 20:42:55 CET] i always forget the namess. [2016-12-18 20:43:14 CET] of th english friends.

Cant be bad, its misses France ;) [2016-12-18 20:45:34 CET] ot convinient to travel alone. [2016-12-18 20:46:08 CET] No, although my colleague drives to Besancon in France regulary [2016-12-18 20:46:13 CET] On his own [2016-12-18 20:46:44 CET] go to groningen and join roko.

Got the dinner dishes to do before she who must be obeyed gets in from work [2016-12-18 20:56:44 CET] well, i think i am the only one with an enigma in the team. but roelof will show an emulation on the spectrum.
