Exemplar of a landing on the Moon.

Cover of a Dutch booklet for school children on the first landing on the Moon, titled "landing op de maan", all lower case, I assume for reasons of design language.

Image shows an astronaut in a white suit in the front, the lander and Earth in the background in yellow, the Moon's surface in yellow as well.

Page 1 of a two-page typed sheet titled "De Maan" with information on the Moon, and short explanations of the words star, Sun, planet, satellite, atmosphere, meteors, and craters and a list of the number of moons for Mercurius (0), Venus (0), Earth (1), Mars (2), Jupiter (12), Saturnus (9), Uranus (5), Neptune (2) and Pluto (0).

Since then, one planet vanished and countless moons appeared :)

Page 2 from 2. See alt-text of previous image.

Yay, plakplaatjes (stickers :)

Two stickers with a green background and the words 'groen' (green) in white, 'ok' in black, a stylised 'FWN' in black and white for Faculteit Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen (Faculty of Science) and the number '2000' in black.

These stickers were used to mark devices that were assessed to have no problem with the year 1999–2000 rollover.

The next photo also shows stickers with an orange background and a registration number for devices that might be vulnerable and stickers with a red background and a registration number for devices the were assessed to be vulnerable and require attention or curative action.

Glad the word 'millennium' does not make an appearance.

A leaf of stickers with red, orange and green backgrounds – six of each – as described in the alt-text of the first image.

Generation of an intranet.

A paper mock-up for the menu of Lisa, acronym of Local Information System Area, the first intranet of vakgroep Biofysica (Biophysics) at Universiteit Leiden, NL.

Still fond of its pastel colour palette.

An actual opening page of the intranet.

Jumping joy :)

A tiny spider of the jumping kind it seems, on a window pane, some greenery, such as a red-leafed tree in the background.

Sense and senselessness :)

A light green and light red plastic spoon that loose their colour when and as long as warmed by something, such as drinking water in a glass here.

Extra points for gaining in stead of loosing colour.

A Summer's scene.

A lamb, sheep duo in the shade at the side of a meadow, a ditch in front, several light spots on the duckweed.

Learned early on one cannot walk on it, seeing a neighbouring boy trying confidently.

A singular transistor, or merely an ancient artistic impression of one of a wide variety possible.

Programming with 42 Bytes :)

Fourty-one Byte magazines spread out in a circle on a wooden floor.

"Byte (stylized as BYTE) was a microcomputer magazine, influential in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_%28magazine%29

"The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte

...Thinking of Very Large Characters, in keeping with the Zeitgeist :)

The MC6809 microprocessor has a wonderful instruction set.

Light-blue cover with white, orange and dark-blue accents of a Motorola manual of the 1978 MC6809 microprocessor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_6809

That said, I'm more familiar with the MC6802 and MC6811 instruction sets.

Programming for the MC6809 was mostly done in C using the TDD 6809 MS-DOS C Cross Compiler.

Me job is now in 'AI' hands - well until ai'all come crashing down naturally :)

Artistic representation of a 'C' and two '+'s, accompanied by a purple flower and a white cow with creamy spots and an orange flower in its mouth, placed on the black lower panel of the larger one of a two-piece coffee/tea table with glass upper panels and a yellow chair from a well-know Scandinavian shop.

Text engraved in the characters reads: Academia Lugduno-Batava, STM, ELD, CAM~ERA 1982-2026

- Academia Lugduno-Batava fro Universiteit Leiden;
- STM for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy;
- ELD for Electronics Department;
- CAM~ERA for both 'Era' and 'CAMERA', the acronym of Computer Aided Measurement Environment for Real-time Atomic imaging;
- 1982-2026 for 'Era' or something.
