Some closeup details of the centre console. You can really see how cobbled together it is from common and garden parts.
The keypad is made of rock solid crystal and enrobed in a frame to rescue from any accidental damage. The 3” touchscreen display with 3D effect has self rotating feature for images plus many other functionality like 8 Meg camera, Wi-Fi, 32 GB external memory, mp3 and much more, this second to none phone promises high performance.
I removed the keypad to reveal the Easter egg underneath. NOTE: you do NOT have to remove the keypad to replace the lithium battery.

I'll eventually make proper labels for these, but Mr. Sharpie works for now. The top-left key is "Fn" (function). Below that is "AD" (address/data).

Lorna was (Lorna Boatwright)!!
The ship was registered at "Southampton, and sailed the oceans and the Mediterranean under the British flag", to quote from copies of all the correspondence we have, covering the years of letters between the Crowles and the Department of External affairs, and their British and Italian counterparts.
The ship was used to tour along the Mediterranean coast during the years before the 2nd World War. It was then commandeered by the Italian Navy before being sunk off an island somewhere along the coast "between Toulon and Genoa".
The ship was serviced by Mr. S. Vahanian 0f 19 Quai Saint-Pierre, Cannes, "and he saw the yacht converted into a Navy Patrol boat and fitted with aircraft gun fore and machine gun aft, and painted grey." To quote a letter dated 27th Nov 1947 from W.A.Crowle of Crowle House 105 York Street, Sydney, to Department of External Affairs, Ref. No. I.C. 45//33/4/4
He continues, "It was used on patrol work by the Italians along the Mediterranean coast against our aircraft. He (Mr Vahanian), also states that when Italy collapsed, the "White Sapphire" came into Cannes and its Italian Captain took the yacht out and tried to escape to Italy on one engine only; the other at this difficult time being either out-of-order, or through fuel shortage; and he says he has been informed that the Germans sunk it at sea "en route".
"Mr Vahanian further states that a Mr. Bonsensso, address - S.A. Prometeo, Genoa, Italy, was the Italian Naval Engineer in charge of the conversion of the White Sapphire to a patrol boat for the Italian Military Authorities and he further adds that he was a good man and a fine engineer........"
We have copies of the long saga between Lorna and the Italian Government during the 1950s for a Compensation Claim dating from WWII reparations from the sinking of the Ship by the Italians.
The White Sapphire was seized by the Italians in Cannes Harbour in 1943.
from a letter 1533/6/3 24th February, 1949
The Public Trustee
19 O'Connell Street,
SYDNEY. NSW.
Inquires by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1949 revealed the "ultimate fate of the yacht...which was being used by the Italian Navy under No. F.R.219, was at Toulon at the date of the Armistace. Apparently it sailed immediately from this port bound for Italy, and on the evening of 12th September, 1943 it was scuttled by the crew off Portofino, in compliance with instructions issued by the Italian Naval HQ in accordance with the provisions of the Armistice to the effect that any craft in danger of being captured by the Germans was to be destroyed."
Lorna and Billy spent years writing to the British and Australian Governments from 1944, trying to get War reparation payment for the loss of the ship. (And a Ford straight 8 Saloon)
There was finally a payment made in 1952!
In a letter from the Public Trustee dated 17th Feb. 1949, it is stated in file reference 1533/6/3, as executor of the Will of William A.L. CROWLE deceased 6th December, 1948.
There are also prints showing the ships engineering workshop, Captain, and rooms with the Grand Piano!

Three Years in Yacht
Perhaps the most fascinating of Mrs. Crowle's travel experiences with her husband is their three years of wandering along France's rivers and canals, and around the Mediterranean coast, in a motor yacht which they took to Europe on a cargo-steamer.
"Living simply among the people of other countries is much
more thrilling than staying in all the luxury hotels as you travel
through," Mrs. Crowle said.

Here's the electronics enclosure mounted and with the motherboard, PSU, keypad, and LCD installed.
On the cut files loaded to Thingiverse, I've moved the motherboard over 10mm to the left. May or may not be enough room for a motherboard with the (dreadful) Euro-style connectors. The mounted board shown here came with those connectors. I replace them with screw down terminals. The cut files also have lots of tiny cutouts for wire ties to tie down the wiring.
BE CAREFUL about the size of the screw/bolt heads you use for mounting the standoffs to the back of the box. The heads need to be narrower than the channel width of your extrusions. In my case, they needed to be narrower than 6mm.

The Maplins Robotarm kit came USB-only for computer control. The grandchildren weren't quite ready for that, so I built this simple panel using an old magnet/reedswitch keypad from the spares bin. Each key on the pad enables a double pole relay to supply the required polarity for motor direction. The centre-off slider switch selects between onboard batteries or 5 volt wallwart adaptor as power source. The on/off keys switch two blue bright flashing LEDs (just for added bling!) and the jaws' working light.
One of the card-key locks in the Merrill Engineering Building on the University of Utah campus. I've had several jobs in this building, one of which was in this room, back in about 1993. At the time it was the classroom for the Computer Music Seminar, for which I was the TA.
I haven't found out what the Omega Infinity research group does. I have a hunch its name is a pun of sorts on that of the old Alpha One group, which did computer-aided manufacturing research.
But isn't "Omega Infinity" just about the sci-fi-est thing a metal grille display could possibly read? It's like straight out of 2001.
These panels have a keypad and a card reader below the display, as well as the little speaker grille shown here. They've been in the building for over 20 years; my brother in law remembers them from his grad school years there, and he graduated in 1987.
It used to be that when you swiped your card, they'd let you know the result by saying "OK" or "Access Denied" in a good old toothless synthesized voice (probably generated by a chip like the SP0256-AL2). Sadly, they've upgraded them recently and the voice is now very similar to the Majel Barrett holodeck voice on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The displays appear to be HD44780-based text displays, which gives some kind of indication how long those have been around.
I like how the limited cell size on these text displays forces the letters with descenders, like lower-case "g" and "y", to tiptoe up like they do here. The "g" is the most noticeable. I've long thought of the tiptoeing "g" as the "Banana g", after the old Gorilla Banana printer (here in an ad from 1983), which printed them like that.

It's true. I'm going to wind up the crazy old cat guy. I can live with that. At least my cats will keep me company and show me endless affection as I age. Just think, they'll never judge me, no one there to nag at me when I don't pick up my clothes off the floor, I can sit in front of my pc editing photos for hours on end without ever hearing "You never spend any time with me!", and best of all my lap will always be warm! Not that I'm a slob by no means. In fact, I'm quite particular about my ways. Food, litter, water and the occasional petting session and they're content. Can't get that with any woman I know!!! LOL. This shoot was rather frustrating. They did not want to sit still and Fritz just wanted to bite. Tisha actually gave me the idea for this concept as we chatted on the phone. The clock had struck 10:30 so time was running short to create anything that required much work. I asked her to give me some input on a concept, we kicked around a couple ideas then she said you should do a crazy old cat guy photo. I went with it. I rounded up the cats, set up my lighting and did many shots as they refused to stay put. Working with animals in groups is not an easy task, but I've been in need of some comic relief for days now...

This celebration was started in the year 2005 as a revival and preservation of their cultural heritage. The legendary bac-bacarra is a freshwater fish abundant in the rivers of the town in the olden days. It is now extinct. The town’s name was derived from it. It was coined by a Spanish soldier who passed by. He asked the name of the place from a local who at that time was fishing. He did not understand his question and just answered bac-bacarra.
Fishing is the main industry in the town attributed to the presence of coastline and the Bacarra river where they get good catch of quality and high valued fish products. They owe the blessings they receive to their patron Saint Andrew the Fisherman. This celebration serves as a thanksgiving to the abundant fish catches. The highlight of the said event is the street dancing depicting the history of the town and fishing itself. In general it was not that exciting as compared to other festival celebrations because there were only nine groups of young boys and girls who participated.

The ColecoVision came out in the age of the keypad and vertical configuration. Similar in design to the Intellivision or Atari 5200, the CV has an advantage over both of them: The buttons don’t totally suck. When you press a ColecoVision button, you know that you pressed it, unlike those mushy rubbery things that the other systems have. Like the 5200, the CV improves over the Intellivision by putting the control stick at the top of the controller and making it grippable. The CV also accepts game-specific overlays, but unlike other systems, the overlay goes underneath a plastic grid, so you’re able to know which number you’re hitting simply by touch. I’d say this controller is the least carpal tunnel inducing of the vertical keypad set. And best of all, the CV is compatible with Atari 2600 joysticks, so if the game you’re playing only needs one button, you can simply replace the controller with any number of more comfortable 2600 sticks or even a Genesis gamepad.

Fabienne and I spent a day reversing and tapping this keyboard, in order to run the knitting machine without the operator having to press any keys. For example, saving the present pattern to disk is "CE 5 5 2 STEP STEP" while reading from disk is "CE 5 5 1 STEP 1 STEP".
With proper control of the keyboard, everything is now available by simple unix commands on the workstation.
