Subject: A lift from Melbourne to Sydney - whenever ...
Organization: Computer Science, University of Melbourne, Australia
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 15:18:02 GMT

I need a lift to Sydney from Melbourne, ready to depart whenever it's
convenient with you.

I'll share petrol cost, of course.

I have a few books and clothes that I like to take it up to Sydney,
that's why I want a lift, and hence I might like to take up 2 passengers'
seat.  Depends on the type of car, and how much stuff I'm taking
with me, etc, I'm willing to pay more than 1/2 of my share
of petrol.  This should work out to both of us' advantages, as
I get to move some books and clothes, and you get to pay less than
1/2 of the petrol.

mail me ASAP to arrange.  or call me 344-6892

If they ask you for money to buy something sensible (e.g. bus ride
home/hamburger) and what they are after happens to be convenient (e.g. you are
at the bus station or outside the burger bar) offer to buy it for them, on the
spot.

Then see what happens ... :-)

   You never know what you might be buying.


I have another rule, which serves me fine.  I usually have a dollar or
two in change on me.  If anyone asks for money, they get my change
(unless I have a special need for it).

Reasoning?  I have several times (in previous years) needed money for
a bus home and had to depend on the goodwill of strangers.  And I can
now afford a couple of dollars.  I tend to hope the `panhandler' will
buy a ticket or a sandwich with the money, but if they perceive that a
cheap bottle of port is more appropriate, I cannot argue.

It is not much, but I figure it helps contribute to the amount of
goodwill in the world.

A story on p.5 of the Sydney Morning Herald today (Monday) reports on the
deficiencies of the signposting of some major roads in Sydney.

One of these poorly signposted major intersections is shown in the photo
with the article, the intersection of Centenary Drive and Hume Highway,
Strathfield.

Which, as I'm sure you will be amazed to find out, is where Traffic Light #1
is located.  You can see the control box in the centre-left of the photo.

It's starting to pull everyone in.  First me, now a newspaper photographer.
With more than 20000 intersections in Sydney to pick from, it's more than
coincidence that this one should be chosen for the story, don't you think?

I think that on October 29 (the day the world ends) people will start to have
an unexplained urge to head towards Strathfield, and will find themselves
drawn towards Traffic Light #1.  I've unlocked the mystery.

It's really a monolith with 1:4:9 proportions :-)

You never know what you might be buying.

As to $2-50 being `enough for drug,' anyone who knows any sort of
wothwhile recreational drug that can be had for $2-50, aside from
a tad of beer (and _no_, I don't call antihistamines worthwhile for
these purposes!) should send me mail.

There seems to be a lot of requests for info on ISDN.

The best place to start is Telecom's ISDN Freecall line
008 077 222.

Ask for information about Microlink ( Basic Rate) or Macrolink (Primary Rate ).
There are a couple of information sheets that you should ask for.

The Telecom charges book is also useful and I am told that there is something 
called "The ISDN Cookbook". I have never seen the cookbook as my Telecom rep
promises lots but delivers little.

If anybody wants hard stats on the reliability of an ISDN Semi Permanent Connection
please drop me a line and I can provide the numbers that we have been gathering for

I used to write the software that made systems like this tick. On the
equipment I was using, tone encoded information was detected by the
system using dedicated hardware that could pick out received tones
even while the system was speaking. On the other hand, the decadic
(pulse) detection relied upon the normal 'recording' channel of the
system, and thus was only able to operate when the system wasn't
speaking. This is why there is the requirement to dial only after the
beep is heard.

Decadic recognition is performed by detecting and counting the series
of timed 'clicks' that are generated by the operation of the caller's
dial. In fact, there are two clicks per count, one for each break and
make operation by the dial switch. In the course of a single call,
you'd start off with fairly wide timing parameters for the click
detection (to allow for badly adjusted phones), and then narrow the
windows as you began to model more precisely the particular decadic
phone being used.

Line noise, out of spec phones and unusual equipment on the caller's
phone loop could and did have implications in terms of recognition
reliability, but generally the whole setup worked remarkably well.

Because it's only the sound of the clicks that is used to detect
the digits, the methods described above could, and were, used
over digital links.
