WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY - WAYDT (PICS)

[Chris]

@neph93:

I worked as a care provider for children with extreme physical disabilities

Not easy work, and deeply needed. Genuine respect for this.

[Jordonf9]

Finally done my first serious paint job. Not perfect, but very happy

[neph93]

Looks brilliant.

[Jordonf9]

More progress upgrading the helmet. Leather washers out of sample pieces from Alexander Leather.

[Sam]

Despite my naff soldering it actually worked! My Turing machine is complete!

[neph93]

What does it do?

[Sam]

It sends out rhythmic pulses in time with the random voltages the Turing machine spits out. I've been using it to trigger two drum modules but it can be used to trigger anything you like really. Modular music fun! @neph93

[neph93]

Very cool. I assumed it was something audio related because of the cables, etc, but my reference point for a Turing Machine was either the theoretical computer postulated by the man himself, or Gibson's Neuromancer.

[Sam]

@neph93 It's a modular synthesiser I'm slowly building and spending far too much money on.

Yeah, the Turing machine is based on his algorithm for his original machine. It just puts out random voltages which can be locked into a sequence of varying length and pitch which I've been running through a quantizer that forces the randomness into a musical scale. Wish I understood the mathematics involved but I'd just make myself feel bad if I tried.

Just looked up that Neuromancer novel… looks interesting! I'll have to add it to my ever growing list.

Getting to the end of the new build.

New ceiling needs painting.  I (or H) beam and block and tackle yet to be installed….

[rocket]

looking great…

[Giles]

From the other side….And yes, the whole building slopes down left to right......

Grandmother and triplets at 08:13 at the morning.

Awesome! Congratulations :)!

Congratulations to you and your wife @Max Power !
