This website list vintage-linked services: mode, devices, furnitures, music, films and much more...

Here's my website: http://lesiteduvintage.com/boutiques-vintage/boutique-en-ligne-recyclage-augment%C3%A9/ 

A new phone will be officially transformed for a customer. It's a 1950 rotary phone which needs to be rewired for contemporary plugs.

With a little script, I successed converting binary file to audio spectrum, and another software called Photosounder changed spectrum to sound.

Left signal:

Right signal:

Note: memory basic limitations only allowed me to make a 25000x128 px image, I'd need about 22.937.600x128 px image for a whole film!

Audio spectrum will look like the two previous pictures. We'll take care not to include signal in weak frequencies (cracks, whistles...), and try to keep low ones for best reliability.

Both signal are 128-bit encoded, to bring 256-bit data at once! bits are buffered and a video strem client (eg: VLC) vill read it to display movie.

It's important to note that 1:30 film will fit on a 30 min LP side, so most film will be stored in buffer memory...

Calculus: 256 bits * 10000 Hz = 2 560 000 bits / sec = 550 MB on a 30 min side!

Yesterday I had a call from Peter, president of Inventions Europe organization, about a meeting that will occur on March 6th to 10th, at Saint Mandé (94, France). All is ok, I now mus solve 2 points:

• negociate rest days
• find somewhere to sleep

Another way to codify binary is to use audio spectrum:

If we could put a bit every 100 Hz in 500-15000 Hz scale, we can codify 145 bits into the spectrum! With an only 10000Hz conversion sensitivity, it's easy to code more than 600 MB into a simple side of a 33t LP.

With a DAC and a dual-signal multiplicator (signal1*signal2), we can easily stream video on a vinyl (not with a huge quality yet, but calculus may be redone).

Table of qualities:

The best would be to find out 700 MB on a single side... But frequency is limited by head sensitivity and DAC will be limited by LP wear (but if we use a laser head instread of a sapphire ?)...

Despite all, if we consider LP user still having their CRT TV, a low quality is enough for displaying.

Awesome, how many people were insterrested by the Augmented Recycling concept. All my 50 visit cards were distributed before the end of the day!

I also sold my turntable! I'll do a better one with a motorized arm.

3rd Recycle Party in Romans (France), where I'll present my Skype phone and my HTTT (Home Theater Turntable).

Several stages and exhibs around recycling:

• Informations
• Children zone
• Computing
• Free zone
• Films
• Drums
• Furnitures...
• and so on...

• La Ressourcerie Verte: I'm gonna make me known by an event called Faites de la Récup' (Do Recycling), from Novermber 25th to 27th, 2011
• Sud Recyclage, a company that recycles computer parts in Ardeche (07, France)
• Don Ordi, a website that lists computer recyclers in Europe

I currently have more than 20 visitors/day,
I'm really proud of it!

The web direcory Annuaire du Luxe accepted to reference the website, Design / Deco rejected it.

This morning I've answered an interview-email to the website Compare-le-Net.

Here were the asked questions:

1. Talk about your website, why did you create it?
2. Could you tell how many visitors you get each day?
3. What do you do for your ranking?
4. Have you any other projects or realizations?
5. Could you give a few websites you appreciate (design, content, browsing...) ?
6. What do you think about web mobility? May you have statistics about your own website?
7. how will you see the Web in 5 years?
8. Do you wish to put in front a Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profile?

Just waiting for publishment...

A few websites have been contacted, waithing for replies...

2 possible evolutions for multimedia turntable :

• adding 2 non-blocking motors into the arm axis, to simulate a disk play:
  • the arm will be manually put to the edge of the circle, and automatically move proportionnaly to the middle according to movie/music position
  • the arm can be moved during read to forward/backward media content
  • putting the arm up and to extreme right will stop media
  • putting the arm up and to extreme left will start media
• create audio & video vinyl, by saving in one channel audio, and the other channel Composite video. If my calculations are corrects, this vinyls will be readable on every turntables, if one RCA is for audio and another one for composite video.

I begin promoting my activity by contacting websites like Luxury Design.

A few web directories are already recorded (see at bottom of each pages) :

• Sites Internationaux
• Esprit Design
• Compare le Net
• Annuaire Luxe

One of my transport colleagues suggested to mix turntable and rotary dial phone:

• Rotary dial is placed under the plate
• Arm powers the dial
• Like a DJ, you partially rotate the plate to make a number
• Hint: make a vinyl disk with pulses that\'ll be read by reader arm!

An evolution of thaty project would be "disk call": saving pulses or dial tones into a disk and play it to compose a phone number.

As my project is not technologic innovative enough, as I\'m not a company and as my financial needs are ridiculously low, OSE declined to aid me. They oriented me to Lepine contest, inventors associations and marketing studies.

A new 80 Gb 2.5" hard drive has been installed into the turntable, instead of USB key. Startup is 6 times faster!

JLG Discount becomes the first official partner of LIVING ROOM COMPUTER, by making a discount on components dedicated to future computers. Many compnents have already bought at it : card reader, webcam, internal/external USB adapter...

Equipements Scientifiques has been selected for the Pico-ITX motherboard that\'ll fit intio the phone, against Ealtec and ITX-France.

I've just bought MBED micro-controller at Lextronic website, programmable using C++, to try to convert dial pulses as numeric characters.
