I don't read French or Egyptian, so I had to read Hammurabi's code at a later time. Hammurabi was a weird fella. For instance, here is number 2.
"If any one bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser."
Is "river" to be taken literally? And why is this all the way up at number 2, anyway?
Bletchley Park an English country house that became the principal centre of Allied code-breaking during the Second World War. In Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
The mansion was constructed during the years following 1883 for the financier and politician Sir Herbert Leon in the Victorian Gothic, Tudor, and Dutch Baroque styles, on the site of older buildings of the same name.
During World War II, the estate housed the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), which regularly penetrated the secret communications of the Axis Powers – most importantly the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. The nature of the work at Bletchley remained secret until many years after the war.
According to the official historian of British Intelligence, the "Ultra" intelligence produced at Bletchley shortened the war by two to four years, and without it the outcome of the war would have been uncertain.
The team at Bletchley Park devised automatic machinery to help with decryption, culminating in the development of Colossus, the world's first programmable digital electronic computer. The codebreaking operations came to an end in 1946 and all information about the wartime operations was classified until the mid-1970s.
By 1990 the huts in which the codebreakers worked were being considered for demolition and redevelopment. The Bletchley Park Trust was formed in February 1992 to save large portions of the site from development. More recently, Bletchley Park has been open to the public, featuring interpretive exhibits and huts that have been rebuilt to appear as they did during their wartime operations.

DIY Lens coding with dremel. Let's try this on a small voigtlander lens.
I simply used a sharpie to fill the holes. The lens is a Voigtlander 21mm. So I used the code for a 21mm Elmarit.
The coding template was provided by Bo Lorentzen. See his blog:

On ne voit plus que ça, c'est le nouveau dada, le dada, le Da Vinci Code, personne n'en réchappera ! Je parle bien sur de la campagne média... Voici la station de la Concorde remaquillée en rouge et noir. Paradoxal pour la discorde engendrée par le livre !
