There was so much talk about the protests in Iran – but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, it has stood aside. What will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully – kill enough people,

This is what Denmark thinks of Trump’s Davos speech. A global laughingstock. An international embarrassment on a scale never before achieved. Truly unprecedented failure. This guy nails it 🔥 🔥 🔥

No one can imagine the pressure over his shoulders since almost 4 years. He visits the frontlines regularly, meeting soldiers, he has never missed a single day addressing his people, delivering daily messages no matter the circumstances. He carries the weight of looking into the

THE TRAFFIC ANALYSER (1963 -1973) A new episode is now live on YouTube: youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

THE TRAFFIC ANALYSER was an idea for a computer based, automatic traffic intersection controller, initiated in 1963 by engineers Ron Keith & Stan Yan. It’s this month’s subject for State of Electronics. youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

The Traffic Analyser (circa 1963) was a project designed to automate the control & behaviour of traffic intersections thru the evaluation of data sourced from a data collector/processor & phototransistor arrays embedded into lanes of an intersection. youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

By logging crucial details such as vehicle headway, length of vehicles, velocity, & acceleration, the Traffic Analyser could optimise traffic flows. An IBM1620 transistorised computer at UNSW was used initially to process the data. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSER youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

Ron Keith was the logical designer for the WRE “Digital Impact Predictor” or “ATROPOS” computer before he began at UNSW to develop a system to predict traffic flows. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSER youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

The Traffic Analyser was operational in 1967. Ron Keith presented a Paper at the 1968, 4th conference of the Australian Road Research Board, entitled “The Traffic Analyser: An Instrument for the Automatic Measurement of Traffic Parameters” youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

From 1963, Australians Stan Yan & Ron Keith wanted to design a computer system that they wanted to embed into a box beside an intersection. The idea was to have autonomous, intelligent traffic control to help Sydney’s traffic woes. THE TRAFFIC ANALYSER youtu.be/KFYfxGBUKpo?si…

Right now, I own a CM-2 & a scale 3 CM-5 supercomputer! I’m looking to save these computers. They are currently in my storage shed in Adelaide. Let me know that you might want them!

Today I spent time at MESS in Melbourne interviewing 2 more for my specials on the QASAR M8 & the Fairlight CMI. More on that to come but thank you MESS

Absolutely. I am planning something along those lines once I have exhausted the computer history of Australia. It’s a fascinating topic

For now I have to make a huge decision. Help me make it! I need to move everything in my storage shed in Adelaide, which includes CM-2 & CM-5 scale 3 supercomputers from the 1990s. I would love to see them saved but they will be sent to eWaste if I can’t find help?! There’s more
