OT 250 year old automoton
This 250 year old writing machine fascinated me.
To put this post on topic for photography, I think the mechanism would make for some interesting photographs. http://www.chonday.com/Videos/the-writer-automaton -- PeterN |

I saw this BBC documentary about six months ago. I use a VPN to obscure my location so I can access BBC iPlayer and iTV programming. The documentaries are very good, and I prefer BBC F1 coverage to the commercial butchered presentation on NBC_SC. -- Regards, Savageduck |

A VPN is a "Virtual Private Network" they can serve different purposes in the commercial or the private world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network For us mere mortals at home who just want to make it appear that we might be in the UK and not the US so that we can access regionally restricted streaming there are free and pay VPN services. There is a regular in this group, who because he lives in Canada and can't get US Netflix and some other TV content in Canada, uses a VPN so that he appears to be in the USA. He has a free service he recommends. I started with a free VPN but now I use a pay service "ZenMate" which provides a plugin for some browsers, a desktop app, and apps for my mobile devices. I have it installed on my iPad where it can be turned on or off as needed. On my Mac I have the plugin installed in Chrome. So all my foriegn stream viewing is done on my iPad or on Chrome which is my dedicated phantom browser. https://zenmate.com So I can see documentaries such as these: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_270.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_272.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

Not that I have noticed. I get the occasional hesitation when watching a foreign stream, but otherwise there are no issues. My ISP is Charter, and they ran a fiber optic cable from Paso Robles to where I live 13 miles to the West out at Lake Nacimiento. They seem to improve service year to year. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_273.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |
