Visited #BletchleyPark yesterday. Just fantastic!

I spent the whole day there, 10am - 5pm, and I still didn't manage to see everything!

I also enjoyed one of the free guided tours with one of the very knowledgeable volunteers who clearly had a lot more to tell than the 1hr allowed.

For #InternationalWomensDay (3/4 of those at BP were women), there are interactive activities - I really enjoyed writing messages in #Baudot-Murray code and manually punching holes in paper cards.

Here is what my tiny BASIC interpreter would write to a five-channel paper tape. There are no characters like < = > or even + or * in the CCITT-2 encoding, so they are replaced with two-character keywords or alternative characters. For example, + is & and * is !. When reading back baudot-encoded programs, these keywords and characters are translated back to their original form.

The latest prototype of my tiny BASIC interpreter can save programs in CCITT-2 encoding, so it can in theory write programs to 5-channel paper tape. I have a paper tape punch, but it has an RS530 interface, so I need a converter to RS232, which seems to be hard to come by these days. I bought a used one that is supposed to be in "good working condition", but comes without any documentation. Why am I even doing this? :)
