Paid my respects to the Warner Theater in Ridgefield, #NJ The 92-year-old theater opened in June 1932 with Alfred E. Green’s THE DARK HORSE starring Warren William and Bette Davis, and will close this week. There are a few remnants of its original self evident.

Nobuko and Kazumi Shimazaki added a touch of their native Japan to their New Jersey home a few years ago. The teahouse, created for small dinner parties, was constructed by a Japanese builder who used American pine, redwood, cedar, oak and cherry. Mylar replaces the traditional paper in the shoji.

[univac1219]

1962 Mainframe with Bluetooth

This old computer is comprised of four big boxes, three of which are ever actually used.

The UNIVAC 1219. This is the brains of the system. It controls the operations of every other device. This is what I'm referring to when I'm not gesturing to the UNIVAC 1219 as a whole.

The UNIVAC 1540. This is the DDR, or Digital Data Recorder. It holds, writes, and reads the magnetic tape operators load into the machine.

The Digital to Analog Converter. The UNIVAC 1219 was the first digital computer on most U.S. Navy ships, most of which had analog weapons systems. This hulking mass of steel translated the digital signals from the computer to the analog signals of the weapon systems and vice versa in regards to the radar.

The UNIVAC 1532. The I/O console managed the...you guessed it, input and output of the UNIVAC 1219. You can load and punch paper tape for programs more bite-sized than would be used for magnetic tape.

In addition, we have two teletype machines. You can think of them like typewriters that don't receive human input (except the one that can if we want), but instead output what the computer tells it to.  We have a Teletype Corporation teletype that is optimized for character compatability and a Kleinschmidt teletype that is optimized for speed. Both rely on the I/O console to send and receive data.

The real ingenuity begins with the floppy drive. Duane, who's career revolved around this system, developed a way for a floppy drive to imitate the I/O console. The computer thinks it is reading and writing to a paper tape, when it is in fact reading and writing to a 5.25in floppy inside an ancient CNC machine floppy drive.

And this, dear reader, is where the magic happens. This framework was originally built for interfacing with the 1219 via BIN files over Serial port and was easily changed to support BIN files over floppy. Duane has been working on an off adapting our purple converter box with a raspi to let the 1219 read and write BIN files over Bluetooth.

Make no mistake, you cannot simply SSH into this machine as tons of setup and channel changes must be performed to ready it to receive and send data. That being said, I don't see any other UNIVAC mainframes with Bluetooth [or any other running UNIVAC 1219s at all :(], so I will take what I can get.

Can someone tell me how to Tumblr properly?

Bruce Springsteen and the PRE-Street band, 1972 in Long Branch on the Jersey Shore, by Ed Gallucci. "Nobody was shooting me but him back then," says Ed, and indeed, this appears to be Bruce's first official photoshoot, for Crawdaddy magazine.

My goofy pun aside, this was a couple of years before the E Street Band, featuring Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez, Danny Federici, Garry W. Tallent, and Clarence Clemons. My edit of original photo via fb.
