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.
