| Category: Audio Semi and I would both be interested in this and any application it may have to our theatre -- although to be fair, I haven't actually read past the headline bits yet -- dunno the theatre would come at 15000 speakers but. |

| Category: Railways Again! Due to both my circumstance and my general inclination -- I took the train to Hurstbridge the other day and discovered something I hadn't previously encountered. It seems to be a cracker -- a train cannot proceed up the track without a "token" -- and there is only one token for the line so it single streams trains on single tracks. Seems to be very boolean 'cos that's what it is! I reckon Auffers and Semi would love to see this in action (unless they have already in which case -- I'm just slower than most (which shouldn't surprise anyone really) Thanks Grandma. |
| Category: Melbourne Reading this at the moment, by jingo it's an absolute cracker -- apparently available in soft-cover from the Melbourne museum for about $A20. Just buy it! Thanks Grandma |
| Category: Railways Those of you who know me may know I've slightly re-located north due to renovations at the normal mansion -- expect a few interesting observations (or not) I never knew about this and I've already investigated the initial siding -- and am intending to walk the rest of the siding in the next week. Grandma reckons that there's still something left of the old terminal but haven't seen it yet. |

| Category: Culture Whilst I haven't yet downloaded the podcasts, the supporting documentation is interesting. -- Semi, I reckon you'd like this if you haven't come across it to date. |

| Category: Food TramTown seems to be mostly silent these days but I couldn't let the passing of one of history's greatest men go unnoticed. Norman Borlaug is quoted as saying "You can't build a peaceful world on empty stomachs and human misery". He committed himself to a peaceful world by making sure many hungry people were fed. Go read about him at the links above. |
