If you have a hardcopy, can you please take a high resolution photograph with a camera or your phone and email it to me. I want to send the paper tape in with my kids to school on Monday morning. Thanks, Cheers, Corey

track 787 of 1223 and counting...
by william degnan 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Having repaired my keyboard (better this time) I am in the process of formatting the external hard drive. Takes a few hours I am on track 787 or 1223 so far, looking for positive vibes...think good thoughts until it completes the format. Then I don't care what you people think. ha ha. The XEBEC controllers are a bear. Bill

Teams?
by Joseph Oprysko 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

I'm a bit confused, and likely missed something. What are these "teams" I'm hearing about for VCF? Are we doing both individual exhibits as well as group/team exhibits? One of the things I know I'd like to see are "Awards" for various exhibits. While most if not all of us are exhibiting for fun/historical/educational reasons. It would kind of be nice to be recognized and acknowledged by the organization for the work we all put into our exhibits. I also believe that it could increase the quality of some of the exhibits, as well allowing for more focused exhibits. Also I feel that it could attract both more exhibitors, as well as more visitors to the festival, as competition is human nature. Joe -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

I could probably get away with taking it in, though getting it down into my basement might be interesting. BLS

Semi-OT: Cheap tablets for museum
by Jeffrey Jonas 14 Dec '16

Be sure the batteries can be replaced without destroying the case. A friend cracked the screen of his generic Android tablet while trying to replace the bad battery :-( Or always run them from USB power.

January 2017 and February 2017 Workshops
by Jeffrey Brace 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

I set the date for January 14 & 15 for the January workshop. For the February workshop it will be February 11 & 12. This time we will have it in 9032-A where we had it originally. The 9010-A common room that we used the last few workshops is too small. The workshops that we have had in there were cramped. We have so many people working on stuff, that we just don't have enough room in there. -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com
