In 1953, Shell Labs in Amsterdam was the first site in the Netherlands to use an electronic computer in a production environment. The computer was a Ferranti Mark I*, designed at Manchester University (with help from the legendary Alan Turing) and built by British company Ferranti. The Amsterdam model was called MIRACLE, for "Mokums (Amsterdam's) Industrial Research Automatic Calculator for Laboratory and Engineering", but some people nicknamed it "May It Replace All Chaotic Laboratory Experiments". My mother was one of its programmers and kept a photo album.
Sent my old computer for repair at Kovan Hub. My PC died last Thursday when the Singnet installation guy came to setup the new modem for me. So many things had to change. Power supply, memory card, video card and hard disk.

This and some more will be available as pasties soon when I put together a parts kit.

I will not be making a parts kit atleast yet because my computer has lost the codes for the parts... Again. Now excuse me while I tear my hair out in frustation.
It's amazing how much can be found nowadays with just the click of a mouse. All you gotta do is Google it. Sooo simple! It still doesn't change the need to yell at your kids to do their homework though!
I still remember the days when I needed to find information on something I would go to the bookshelf full of encyclopedias and dig for it. If I couldn't find it there I'd go to the library. That's after walking 10 miles to it uphill... barefoot... in the snow... both ways!
Okay... so the snow part's not true.
I had the pleasure of being featured in the December 2008 issue of Computer Arts Projects. This issue focused on Japanese influences among other Asian design aesthetics. I got to talk about the inspirations for my silly illustrations and design a skate deck!
It was quite the pleasure and extremely exciting so thank you, Computer Arts Projects!!
Having hooked up the USB, sound, fan controller, and many other things, we have now just plugged in the power to the mainboard.
The quality isn't so good, since the picture was taken with the mobile camera, without any other light, just natural light.
You can see the new baby, the printer/scanner, down, beside the cds/ dvds.
There is an explanation about ll the stuff on the next photo (with notes).
The model, called the Nonhydrostatic ICosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM), was developed for the supercomputer Earth Simulator at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology
