Visited the excellent Discovery Shed in Mona Vale today. They have lots of amazing artefacts from the history of computing.
They have a working (but incomplete) replica of part of Babbage’s difference engine that’s being built by Bob Moran. It replicates a smaller version of the engine that Babbage himself designed and built. I even got to crank the handle. I operated a working difference engine today!
They also have some early digital computers including a PDP-7 and a PDP-8 that’s being restored by Max Burnet. The inside of the PDP-8 in the last picture is what he has to work with. How it’s even possible to fix something like that I have no idea.
Those guys are awesome.

“Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space… On the one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure.”
