This morning I visited Dr Law as part of a continuing relationship between him and the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre (formerly the Australian Science Archives Project). The Centre has spent almost twenty years on and off documenting Dr Law's personal record collection (seven of which it has been my pleasure to do, as his "personal archivist").
We had a nice chat, and he was happy for me to post these photos. I will soon include them in the online guide to his records, now held by the National Library of Australia.
This picture features in Fiona Hooton's article Democratising History: Evaluating PictureAustralia’s flickr Pilot Project and her paper The Big Vision - Picture Australia.

Image of the bottom of the HS02 headset showing a High-Q Tx Coil interface. Three (3) coil drivers were removed from HS01 requirements and subsequently replaced with a (fallback) single Tx transmit coil driver on HS02 to make room for a galvanically isolated percutaneous plug interface. The loan planar Tx coil is driven via a 50MHz DDS that includes programmable quadrature phase and dual frequency high-speed modulation control lines via feed directly from the Virtex6 FPGA. Also included in this power transfer block are voltage and current monitoring circuits including logarithmic impedance and phase converter IC providing precision monitoring of transformer load characteristics

East-central Thailand, Nakhon Nayok Province, cultivated.
My wife, who is Thai, tells me the leaves of this vine are eaten with betelnut, which her elderly aunt is still in the habit of chewing. She knows it as "phlu", though the pronunciation is more like "proo"
The Multilingual Multiscript Plant Name Database entries for Piper [ www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Piper.html ] give "phulu" as the Thai name for P. betle, which is the leaf chewed with betelnut. The Database gives "chaphulu" as the Thai name for P. sarmentosum. My wife says "cha phlu" is a different leaf, used to wrap little parcels of spicy salad mince (a popular Thai dish), not the leaf chewed with betel.

Guest speaker: Ursula Rakova - TulelePeisa.org
Guest performers:
David Bridie (Not Drowning Waving followthegeography.com, My Friend the Chocolate Cake mftcc.com),
Genevieve & Jezebel (Harp and Percussion Duo)
Join us for a night of music, scrumptious food, short films and update on the situation whilst you bask in the warmth of open wood fire amongst friendly people.
Ursula is the spokesperson for the Carterets community. Born on the Carterets atoll of Han, she is the founder and the current Executive Director of Tulele Peisa, a local NGO based in Buka in the Bougainville province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Tulele Peisa is entrusted by the Carterets community to co-ordinate and to liaise with the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) to oversee the safe and smooth voluntary relocation and resettlement of the islanders.
Ursula is a pioneer in the environmental movement in Papua New Guinea. She is well respected for her integrity, commitment and conviction to building strong, transparent and accountable as well as ecologically conscious civil society movement. She is a tireless environmental campaigner and a strong advocate of human rights for PNG and for her home province of Bougainville. Ursula is here to raise funds to help her people to start relocating and resettling whilst finding a culturally and ecological sustainable future for them.
Carterets Atolls and Climate Change
The Carterets atolls are among the first casualties of rising sea levels from climate change. Geological movements often affect coral atolls. For the Carterets, rising sea levels exacerbated the situation. Climate change has brought more frequent and severe storm and wave surges which increasingly inundate arable land, threatening food security and fresh water supplies. For the last 3 years they have began to plan for their relocation and resettlement. For them, adaptation means relocation for many of the families.
About 600 families with an estimated total of 2,500 people are currently living on the six Carterets atolls. They are facing increasing hardships as their lands are encroached upon by the rising sea as the atolls progressively ‘sink’.

‘GLOBAL MIND PROJECT: Spectacle of the Mind' – Domenico De Clario performance. Karen Casey, composite image 2011.
Photography, Malcolm Cross 2010
In addition to the onscreen visuals Domenico was able to musically interact with his mind via the Global Mind interface, programmed to utilize his pre-recorded piano samples. At times he improvised with the sounds being generated from his brainwaves, at other times allowing the brainwaves alone to determine the aural nature of the performance.
“Initiating a link between spirituality and technology, by entering a trance-like or sublime state of being whilst wearing the EEG headset, Domenico de Clario will blindfold his eyes, limiting his ability to see or be distracted by the exterior visible world – simultaneously facilitating and opening a portal to the invisible and inaudible world within him, that will be manifest in sounds and screen visuals as he elicits notes from a piano keyboard through pure thought or brain-wave transference. These aural resonances – singular and unique, will echo into the universe leaving imperceptible and fragile traces. Utilizing Buddhist meditation, breath and concentration techniques to alter his brainwave events, de Clario’s performance, inhabits the magical realm between the dark void of night and phosphorescence of day, evoking the complex, shadowy space of unseen human consciousness. His work resonates strongly with Casey’s, which, opens up fields of intensity between the timeless and boundless quality of inner space and the temporal, restrictive aspects of the now.”

Languages - what's to learn from them? Relics of the past; we know how to design them / to use them. Types / messages / invocation / loops / numbers / methods / big ol' libraries / lots of = signs. Heh, but what is programming, and what role do programming languages play in that process? We have learned a lot over the last five decades: organizing principles, established conventions, theory, fashions, and fads. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In this talk we survey what we think are the most important lessons of the past that future programmers, and future programming language designers, ought not forget. We illustrate each lesson by discussing specific programming languages of the past, and endeavor to shine what light we can on the future.
Keywords: Languages, Patterns, Design, Architecure, Experience
Target Audience: People not afraid of finding out just how weird our predecessors were and who enjoy theater style.

‘GLOBAL MIND PROJECT: Spectacle of the Mind' - Federation Square, Melbourne. January 2010. Performance video: With Direction.
Watch the video on LEA's Vimeo page: www.vimeo.com/20429921

Performers: Jill Orr, Stelarc, Domenico De Clario
Software developer/programmer: Harry Sokol
Audio designer: Tim Cole
“Through both the human body and its technological counterpart, the project provides a nexus between magic, which made no distinctions between living and non-living things, and contemporary science and technology, which more often than not challenges and erodes that binary and brings us new experiences of the body and its projections. The live-screen images at Federation Square, generated from the brain-waves of these artists as they perform and manipulate Casey’s imagery, return us to the extensive eighteenth century Shows of London which ‘brought the classes together…’ but were also ‘the scene of the perennial conflict between the claims of amusement and those of earnest instruction’ – and indeed one of the central concerns of the ‘Global Mind Project’ is to reveal the transient and transformative aspects of the nature of mind.”
