Bre is of course joking. My primary use for twitter for is mocking twitter. |
@maximka WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (twitter only allows so many 'O's, so imagine a bar over the last three. oh, and umlauts!) |
Thy mother art such a drunkard, when a monk passeth by, she strivest to unscrew his head. |
Thou progenitor art such a sluggard, when thou sayest 'hie' to her she respondeth 'good day'! |

Well, I'm going to shut down and get dinner. Thanks for, uh, being twitter people, I guess. |
We have our other Silent 700s hooked up to the telehax network. You can telnet to it on kaboom.jplt.com port 8353. |
I need a new 1/2" printer ribbon for the teletype. I accidentally ordered a 1" wide ribbon, which is a thing to behold. |
Matt gives us this link to the previous owners of the teletype: http://tinyurl.com/5teysw |
I want Yuk Gae Jang right now. I mean, right now. |
The spring that holds the platen in one mode or the other is also way too strong. I tried annealing it last week. Didn't help. |
The finger that lifts the bell actuator bar is set too high. The signal bell sometimes gets rung on every character. That is bad. |
My number of followers has gone up since I started yammering about teletypes. What is *wrong* with people? |
Twenty-three to go. And then I'm sure that Bre and Diana will tell everyone to drop me, to fuck with my parity again. I'll just stop here. |
1010WINS, the all-news station, used to play an audio loop of teletypes in the background. I don't know if they still do this. |
RO models were generally used at radio stations, where they only needed to receive a feed. This one came from a radio station in AZ. |
The serial number on the base is 100864. The serial number on the typing mechanism is 30671. In all, approximately 200,000 were made. |
(This machine is a teletype 15-RO, which means that it never had a keyboard or encoder mechanism.) |
I'm planning on adapting the keyboard from the trashed Silent 700 to drive the Teletype 15. |
