This blog will just be a bit of a dumping ground for all the various ideas I’ve had floating around in my head for this project. I’m not sure if any of this will make it into the final version but I figured i’d document it all anyway to see the process and how the plan evolves.
If you’ve read my welcome post, you’ll know I’ve been interested in building a relay computer for a while, but always decided against it due to the high costs and effort required. To combat this, I’ve decided on a hybrid approach to the machine and had to make some strategic decisions about what stays mechanical and what goes digital.
Welcome! I doubt I’ll have many (if any) people reading this blog - it’ll be more for my own record keeping and remembering what I have done and why more than anything else.
Nevertheless I figured I’d start with a little introduction about myself and the project.
