New project: Semaphore bot.

23 Aug 2011

Thanks to a hilarious comment by one Mr. Jeff Gough during a quickly nose-diving talk at CCCamp2011 (“They should conduct this talk in semaphore,”) I’ve had semaphore flags on the brain. Projects like this have been done previously, but never with the complete alphabet/vocabulary. Thus, having ordered the parts and started the sketching process, fin & I will be building a semaphore bot that will, hopefully, read out in semaphore the various correspondences my grandfather had during WWII. Woohoo!

    Hi baby – if I can provide any stories from Frank in support of the semaphore project, just ask. Nothing in writing but I have a lot of accurate annecdotal stories that he told me.
