Comment on Using the railway network as a flatbed scanner

Comments

Nice. It reminds me of a blog of a guy who had mounted a flatbed scanner on an electrical motor to make a digital photo before digital camera existed. He had added one of the resulting picture of his backyard. It was one of the most viral Slashdot post at the time.

Do you think you'd be able to find this post (assuming it's still up)? Would love to see it.

Oh, Matthias Wandel, of course. This would have been back when he was writing software for Blackberry instead of his current semi-retired woodworking YouTubing

Thanks for posting that. The picture of the garage door opening is a trip!

Oh! I couldn't find it when I looked for it this morning. Thank you!

Oh nice, very cool. Thanks!
