[GreenKeys] Morse Code's SOS

[tony j. podrasky]

Hey Harvey;

Well, first - and most importantly, I hope your wife is
doing well and recovering. We can't afford to lose our
perspective when whining :-) about silly stuff like losing
the code.

That's an interesting application of "the code". It is
(still) a simple way to communicate.

My LINUX box, when it got sick, sent out morse code by
blinking the NUMERIC LOCK KEY light.

One of my computers is running a program that sends out
the time in morse code every 15 minutes.

To the average person that doesn't make any sense - but when
I'm in bed, somewhere between being asleep and being awake,
when the computer sends the code I know what time it is.

73,
W6ESE - tony
