So, anyone noticed my new Avatar ?

<< < (5/7) > >>

Malenko:
I thought it was the combo counter in guitar hero 3; looks just like it.
Nixie tube is much cooler though

Hemi:
I was thinking about starting a thread about my avatar (and you guys, lets get everyone on the forum to make threads about their specific avatar, too) but I can just post it here instead.
 
How do you like mine, is it wonderful?  :P

FrizzleFried:
I was wondering what the whole 24...24....24.... thing was.

 ;D

It's not about the avatar. It's about Nixies !

dgame:
Once again Level42 has introduced something cool that I just had to have.

I never knew what a Nixie tube was until this thread. I've since spent too much time online reading about the various Nixie projects people have made.

As a result I have just bought one of these Nixie clocks:
http://www.kosbo.com/in18clock/

It is a six tube IN-18 Nixie clock. The feature I like the most about this one is the serial interface. Nixie high scoreboard perhaps? Display time remaining in the current WinAmp song? Hollywood style doomsday countdown? calculator display? Weather (Temperature) ticker? CPU temperature? Scrolling numbers?

The Nixie clock can only display characters 0-9 but all those things are possible using the PC to handle the logic and the clock as a simple six character display.

What I plan on doing is writing a program to display interesting numerical information with the Nixies. Sending ASCII over the serial port is easy to do.  8)
