Full-on nerdism

Today I went to the museum (again). The Audichron time announcement machine is working insofar as it speaks the time. Not hooked up to trunks yet, so you can't dial it. The 3ESS has a grand failure, we discovered; the multifreq receivers aren't working. So incoming calls are left high-and-wet. I installed a small PC as a replacement for the teletype. Now everything the cute little switch says is being recorded. Yes, I just called a computer the size of a pickup truck "cute" and "little". :P

I paid for my lunch using dollar coins, but not the Golden Dollar that the Mint is trying to get everyone to use. The bank only had Susan B Anthony and Sacajawea dollars, so I paid with a combination of those and quarters. The cashier didn't even blink; she recognized the SBA dollars as not quarters. Cool.

Perhaps there will be a #tcpa IRC meetup in Portland this July. (spengo take note; I actually mean it. I tried to arrange a meetup on the ticalc.org boards a long time ago, when I was in middle school. It didn't work but I didn't give up.)
