Myst Island
Myst is a graphic adventure puzzle video game designed by the Miller brothers, Robyn and Rand.
It was developed by Cyan, Inc., published by Brøderbund, and released as a PC game for the Macintosh platform in 1993.
In the game, players are told that a special book has caused them to travel to Myst Island.
There, players solve puzzles and, by doing so, travel to four other worlds, known as Ages, which reveal the backstory of the game’s characters.

How I plan on dealing with the Slashdot effect
The Slashdot effect, also known as slashdotting, occurs when a popular website links to a smaller website, causing a massive increase in traffic. This overloads the smaller site, causing it to slow down or even temporarily become unavailable. The name stems from the huge influx of web traffic which would result from the technology news site Slashdot linking to websites. The original circumstances have changed, as flash crowds from Slashdot were reported in 2005 to be diminishing due to competition from similar sites, and the general adoption of elastically scalable cloud hosting platforms. The effect has been associated with other websites or metablogs such as Fark, Digg, Drudge Report, Imgur, Reddit, and Twitter, leading to terms such as being “farked” or “drudged”, being under the “Reddit effect”—or receiving a “hug of death” from the site in question. Google Doodles, which link to search results on the doodle topic, also result in high increases of traffic from the search results page. Typically, less robust sites are unable to cope with the huge increase in traffic and become unavailable – common causes are lack of sufficient data bandwidth, servers that fail to cope with the high number of requests, and traffic quotas. Sites that are maintained on shared hosting services often fail when confronted with the Slashdot effect.
A flash crowd is a more generic term without using any specific name that describes a network phenomenon where a network or host suddenly receives a lot of traffic. This is sometimes due to the appearance of a website on a blog or news column.

Name: tom sparks
Email Address: [email protected]
Subject: Architectural endoscope camera rig
Message: I would like to build an Architectural endoscope camera rig
for photographing my diorama.
the rig needs to be automated to take panorama photos at each location
Controlled / adjustable lighting conditions eg: night, daylight, sunset, sunrise, etc (darkroom / lightbox )
interchangeable camera setup
photographs of camera rigs:

papercraft / Papercraft rules
I’ve been boucing the idea around of doing a few Diorama
I started to look at the idea after I bought my 3d printer,
but it was unsucessfull
I am relooking at the idea from a papercrafting view
Papercraft rules
95% of work needs to be done on the pen plotter
no ink/laser printer1

DCC (Digital Command Control) for non model railway uses
Currently DCC (Digital Command Control) is beening used in model railways setups,
but I can see other uses within the widder modelling communtiy
static Displays
modular diaramas

Static displays
there are modellers who put their “completed”1 models in display cases/cabinets, the models are usally group together.
modular Diorama
I can think of two cases:
kit modellers1
travelling diorama:
personal
I was concepting a display for a community group that featured mainstream sci-fi models from TV/movie seires,
I want the model’s to indercate:
** “On This Day” in-unverse events
** X years till in-unverse event
** death of Actors from series.
the models were going to hanging from the ceeling because of limited space
STALLED :(
I had started to desgin a Star trek DS9’s Domaon Battle using a mixer of models and peeper ghost effects

3D printer experiment
I bought a Up Mini 3D printer a few years ago (TODO: Year)
I printed the standard test models, the Stanford bunny and the gear bearing
I started to print objects from thingiverse that I liked.
But the models need too much post-cleaning with sharp tools1.
so I started looking for ways to eliminated as much of the post-clean up work as possible, I found slicing2 software, if the model was not pre-sliced.
But it introducted a new headace, joining the parts3 by gluing/welding.
The other reason for slicing was to hollow the model for adding electronics
I hate wearing gloves. ↩
cutting up the model into parts. ↩
due to variation in heating/temperature and alignment while printing. ↩

Electronics and me
I’ve had a group of bad experience build electronics circuits
in the early 1990:
I a build a few circuits from a beginner electronic books
Dick Smith Electronics Fun Way into Electronics Vol. 1
Dick Smith Electronics Fun Way into Electronics Vol. 2
At highschool i want to join electronic club, but the clubs teacher killed that dream.
A few years ago: I relooked at getting back into electronics with the arduino starter kit,
the LED lights requirements (polarity, resistors) killed it again for me.
PS: I never wanted to learn how to solder, the conductive paint looked like my best option.
PSS: I was also looking making my own printed circuit boards (PCB), I found heat-transfer method
I also found conductive ink pen that could use in my pen plotter

Pen Plotters
The plotter is a computer printer for printing vector graphics.
In the past, plotters were used in applications such as computer-aided design,
though they have generally been replaced with wide-format conventional printers.
A plotter gives a hard copy of the output. It draws pictures on a paper using a pen.
Plotters are used to print designs of ships and machines, plans for buildings and so on.
