Asian Medium Altar Table with Carved Dragons
(Console Table or Sofa Table or Hall Table)
Both sides of this medium sized altar table are Intricately carved with dragons on the side aprons and carvings of other Chinese symbols on the middle apron. The inverted flange ends add a sense of grace to this table. Of special note are the feet shaped in a block pattern. The wood grain of the walnut shows beautifully through the beautiful brown finish.

The MU5 and MU6 computers
The MUS was the Victoria University of Manchester's fifth computer (following the Mark I, Mercury, Metrovick 950 and Atlas projects). Development of the computer began in 1966.
The machine utilised innovations in hardware and architecture that made it 20 times as fast as its predecessor the Atlas. Many of the design features of MUS were used by ICL in its successful 2900-series computers. The project was led by Tom Kilburn, with Derrick Morris leading the software team and Dai Edwards leading the hardware team.
The SRC funded the project with a £630,000 grant over five years and ICL agreed to manufacture the hardware for the machine at cost price.
The MUS was built by ICL using Motorola's MECL 2.5 small-scale Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) integrated circuits, which were mounted on small integrated circuit

The instruction buffer unit prefetched instructions from the local store but, because jump instructions could disrupt the flow of sequential instructions, it included a jump history table. Known as the jump trace', it attempted to predict the result of ant impending jump instruction and prefetch the instructions required for a loop. These architectural innovations meant that the MUS only required about
As with Atlas, MUS was an asynchronous processor, partly because the physical size of the machine would have limited the clock frequency, but also because the time required for floating point operations was data dependent. The use of ECL enabled MUS to perform a floating point addition in an average of 250 ns compared to the 1.6 us of Atlas.
half the number of instructions for a typical Algol program. With its ten-fold improvement in hardware speed, MUS achieved a 20-fold improvement in Achieving greater power power for users, compared to Atlas. To achieve greater power for users, MUS was designed for the efficient processing of Once it was commissioned in October 1974, MU5 ran a valuable computing high-level language programs in an interactive environment. This required an instruction set that would allow the generation of efficient, compact code by compilers, primarily at the Department of Computer Science, until it was dismantled in 1982. Fortran and Algol. Information on the nature of operands was made available to the hardware to allow optimal operand buffering.

MU6
The MUS had no addressable fast registers to eliminate the need for compilers to
optimise their use and to avoid the need to dump and restore their values during routine.
Following MU5's commission. the team started work on the next machine. Several MU6 architectures were proposed:
entry and exit. Frequently-used named quantities were held in a small high-speed
associatively-addressed name store of 32 64-bit words that formed a part of the one
level store of the machine.
MU6P was a microprocessor architecture for personal computers.

By 1987, the University had purchased high-performance computers that were available to users across the institution. Among them was an Amdahl VP1100, which in 1998 sat alongside the national service Amdahl VP1200. The availability of University high performance computing meant that the costs of the Department developing custom high-performance computers for its own use could no longer be supported.

The name store was part of the primary operand unit that decoded each instruction and fetched its primary operand, If the operand was a descriptor, the instruction was sent to the secondary operand unit where the descriptor was interpreted, and the secondary operand accessed.
When MU6G ended service in 1987 it was the last large-scale computer system to be designed and built in the Department until Steve Furber's SpiNNaker-based BrainScaleS-1-a 1,036,800-core machine that successfully ran using over 1,000,000 cores in October 2018. BrainScaleS-1 had around 10 times the power of the Mark 70.
One of the benefits of living with a games journalist is a pre-release PS3. This thing is far too shiny and fingerprint prone to photograph with any ease. It also attracts dust like nothing else on earth :)
Sur la console on trouve une cassolette en tôle vernie, imitation lapis-lazuli, avec un socle et contre-socle aussi en tôle vernie, imitation marbre griotte. Ils sont séparés par trois lions ailés avec bas reliefs et masques de Mercure. Cet objet peut être attribué à la manufacture de Blaise-Louis Deharme.

This newly made piece has a fabulous, "vintage school-locker" look that we are always on the hunt for. Hidden storage, plus lots of room for accessories and remotes make for a great TV console. But it would also make a great piece in a child's room--it's low to the ground and indestructible, and they can start learning about gangnam style. I mean, "tidy-up time."

The robotic arm securing the operator allows him/her to move around the console quickly in adverse conditions, in order to retrieve parts, or install components as needed on the fly.
A friend posted on Facebook he was selling his brand new 80GB PS3 with Metal Gear Solid becuase he desperately needed cash (his girlfriend is American, so I assume it's for flight money). I decided to swoop in with a cheeky offer of £180, which he surprisingly accepted.
It's the 80GB version with the Dual Shock 3 controller, and everything came in its original packaging. Speaking of which, the controller has a severe eating disorder. It's taking a while to get used to.
Anyway, after I tweeted about my purchase, I had a barrage of messages from people saying "Oh oh, moan moan, but you said you weren't going to get one". Firstly, I said I had no concrete plans, but this offer was too good to pass up. Secondly, you don't know much about women if you haven't realised how quickly we can change our minds ^_^
I think MGS4 will be a bit heavy for a newbie to the franchise, so I'll be popping out later to have a look at some other games. Maybe Uncharted, maybe Killzone... But I'll definitely be picking up a HDMI cable. That thing looks rank in SD.
Vostok Navigation Console,
Each Vostok spacecraft was flown remotely from Mission Control on Earth - the cosmonauts did not control the flight. This console gave the spacecraft's position over the Earth - the small globe rotated as the spacecraft orbited.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--adorable console table with one drawer, painted grey (leaving the top bare wood) and distressed. Excellent size for an entryway piece in a Singapore flat. The Martha Stewart solution is to put a couple of drawer liners for forks and knives in there, and use that to keep everyone's stuff organized. None of us has tried this, but it actually sounds like a good idea.
