The Montjuïc cable car is a cable car giving access to the mountain of Montjuic in Barcelona from the eastern slope. Despite its name, is not really a cable car, but a cable car. On May 16, 2007 was reopened after its renovation. Currently the company is managed by TMB
Verizon's contactor (TPC) woke me up this morning, so I figured I'd go outside and snap some pics of thier operation. Pretty cool stuff. Fiber, in the ground, in front of my house. Who'da thunk!
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

Cable Beach has a mystic quality during the low tides in the wet season. The reflection of wet season cloud in the extensive wet intertidal area creates the feeling. G59843
Well, there's nothing much to say. Just another random shot taken while me and my sister were driving around. =)
And when a sysadmin gets his eyes set on those cables; hoo boy, you better not stand in his way. Nothing short of an act of God, or maybe a newsgroup argument about class balancing in Wrath of the Lich King, can drag him away until those cables are all neat and bunchy.
San Antonio é uma cidade do estado americano de Texas, distante 197 milhas de Houston. É a sede do condado de Bexar. A cidade propriamente dita possui 1 236 249 habitantes, com cerca de 1,8 milhão na sua região metropolitana. Foi fundada em 1718 pelos espanhóis. Foi construido na cidade, o Alamo, local de resistência dos texanos na sua luta pela independência perante o México.
Foi em San Antonio que as missões católicas espanholas ganharam força. Pequenas cidades, sempre com uma igreja no centro, foram erguidas pelos Ãndios, moradores originais da região.

The corner of my office and nerve-centre of my operations. An early camera-phone picture. The PC stuck in the middle of it is my mail/intranet/subversion/file/fax server, Athlon XP 2000, 1Gb RAM, 2x120Gb SATA discs as RAID 1, Gentoo Linux.
I found a couple of telephone trucks in the park and did a quick, unofficial photo shoot. I was just lined up on the best shot of all when they pulled out.
Anything but flowers. lol

Headphone Cable Breaks
To make the cable have the ability to wrap over the top of your ear, Ultimate Ears placed a metal wire in the cable. After about four months the plastic coating becomes brittle and the wire breaks through. I've been through about five cables. (Luckly the headphone cable is easily replaced.) After the last cable broke I switched to the Apple in-ear w/ mic and remote and haven't had any issues with the cables, but the sound isolation isn't as good.
If the cable wasn't crap I'd rate these headphones about a 7.5. The sound quality is good; could use a little more bass. Also the sound isolation is really good.
This reminded me of the children being told in school to "Take a line for a walk" as the starting point for a design! Throw-away abstract.
Taking an exhilarating Cable Car ride to the top of Gunung Mat Chinchang, 708m above sea level is an unforgettable experience. The 2.2km journey is full of heart-stopping thrills and its splendours are enhanced by the views across to the coast of southern Thailand and the surrounding islands that a clear day affords.
A remarkable piece of engineering, the Langkawi Cable Car was awarded by The Malaysia Book of Records for ‘the Longest Free Span Single Rope Cable Car - total length of 919.5 meters’ and it is one of the steepest gradients in the world at 42 degrees.
Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the majestic Mat Chinchang Mountain range has been earmarked as one of the sites within the Langkawi Geopark development and it is part of the Mat Chinchang Formation, the oldest rock formation in the country with an age of about 550 million years.
It's surprisingly simple to connect two male toslink cable ends without a coupler. So long as they're lined up well enough, it works like a charm!
The railway, and Cable Street. The blue super cycle highway can be seen in Cable Street. This is the Wapping, Shadwell area.
A concept has been rattling around in my brain for awhile now...Cables Meet Spring. This is a snippet of my progress on my design...looking forward to revealing the finished project and the unexpected way the cables end up!
