Urwumpe said:Just found out, that one of the few remaining still operating Zuse Z22 computers are standing in one outpost campus of the Ostfalia university, just one hour on the road B4 to the north, in the middle of the Lüneburg Heath ... Maybe I can find out when it will be booted again, should be interesting to still hear a drum memory/vacuum tube/core memory machine launch.
The Z22 was pretty popular at universities for some years, as early affordable computer (Did still cost the university 10,000 DM in 1970 to buy a used one). Also it was the reason why the German dub of "2001" had HAL sing "Hänschen Klein" instead of "Daisy Bell", because some years before, a Z22 already sang this German childrens song with some public notice. (The Z22 had a speaker as output device for debugging, which produced sounds based on the current state of the machine - and technicians used this speaker already early for electronic voice and sound experiments)
If you get to it, you should post it in the retro tech thread!
Huh...
turns out that if you feed carbon Nanotubes to a spider, it goes on to spin the toughest fiber yet discovered.
I wonder if they ever bring that up in a spiderman movie :lol:
Even if you follow all best practises to the letter, the damn coughing is still keeping you from sleeping at night.
I think the "best practice" in this case is imbibe rum/schnapps/vodka until you can't keep your eyes open and then sleep for about 27 hours.
Pseudoephedrine is your friend. And lots of sleep.
Point. Try Nyquil instead.
Oh, and make sure to get the extended release version. The stuff that wears out after 4-6 hours is bad, as you'll be woken up by clogged sinuses at 0300. :dry:
