Send Morse Code Over Stockholm By Laser

bigmac writes "KTH, Royal Institute of technology is celebrating 175 year anniv by making a very spectacular laser show. A green laser sent from the bottom of an old reactor building 30 meters below ground. The beam is then reflected over the city from the schools clock tower. And yes, you can send your own laser-morse messages through their homepage!" Here's an image to chew on.

I wonder if echelon will be monitoring these transmissions... because we all know this is what the terrorists of the future will be using..

Remind me not peer out the window next time I fly into Stickholm.

mmmmm morsecode

[Hunden]

After learning morsecode in the Navy, four of my friends and I had a lesson in how to behave in front of women. Beer had caused an unusually deep load displacement, and we sat in a train compartment and morsed whatever dirty words or sentences we could come up with.

Five drunken sailors and a young attractive(at least she seamed so, at that time) girl, gave us five hours of fun morsetraining. At her stop I found it appropriate to excuse for our childish behaviour - She replied that she had enjoyed our show, and as an old girl scout she had brushed up her morse code.

Sending morsecode in trains have never been the same after that:) .... ..- -. -.. . -.

I think I will send this in hopes aliens from a distant planet just happen to pick up the laser.

"All your base are belong to us"

Well I did go to the trouble of typing my mesage out in morse code, but I have too many 'junk' characters to submit the post :( You mean to tell me slashcode can't recognize morse code???

Warning

Warning: Do not look directly at laser with remaining good eye.

Some joyriding alien passing by Sol is going to pick up "All your base are belong to us" sent by some trite geek and thus begins the first interstellar war.

Yeah. Those Vogans are so sensative. Actually, doesn't AYBABTU translate into, "Build a Hyperspace Bypass" in Vogan?

Oh no not again!

Thanks for the instruction. Now how may I send a huge bat to the sky with this? We got some problem here in Gothem...

Re:ehm... something else on the site

First some background:
Students at technical universities in Sweden generally own overalls in the colour of their student union section (a section usually roughly corresponds to one educational programme). These are worn at various parties. The students also design "patches" with their section or school logo, the "logo" of some big party or just a funny cartoon and sew these on their overalls.

When Bill Gates received his doctorate, the IT section at KTH started distributing a patch with a picture of Gates wearing a doctor's hat and with the text "You pay - you get".

It was immensely popular. I own two. =)

After looking at that picture I started wondering if the moon will have "CHA" on it tonight.
