OTMMS (Multia Media Messages) Yes, great stuff!! Got a little worried if there was any additional safety, error correction or at least error checking, considerations on the midi-interface, somewhat releived by the comment about something about noise and that little box opening,closing the valves and igniting the explosive stuff. (those black masked guys walking around seemed to have something to do at one point) Especially after looking at the circuit diagram, those semiconductor relays but luckily 555s, luckily no embedded Win-CE?? I believe an american, CA, did the nice stuff last summer in Helsinki, one was two rotating circular steel sheets slowly connecting on two almost parallell steel wires.. Ilmarinen P.S. I did a couple of summers on a finnish "heavy metal" yard, ships and cranes, sometimes art is late in immitating real industrial life. (I have often blessed my luck of getting an early insight in the reality of building really big things, not just messing up the software) P.P.S I even had the joy of working closely with a female welder, deep in the narrow, smoky crevasses of steel constructions, getting extra pay for extra dirty work (soap money, although i would have soaped her for free). Obviously my job was mainly to hand and fetch her the tools she needed, was fun to automatically remember her appearance from the first quicktime movie of those big, exploding organs. (I also did some x-raying, just two helping hands, of critical weldings, but learned the basics of quality and importance of skills and coffee breaks) Anyway, happy that ship building (ice breakers, norwegian cruisers, oil platforms) is still a business in Finland as well as welding and selling cranes (Kone Cranes). Maybe that dutch guy had worked with some dutch oil and gas company??
