Here's an older telescope technical drawing, the Anglo-Australian Telescope as drawn in 1969.
Unlike the VLT drawings this one would have been done without computer assistance, at a drawing board, with a pencil.

#Wikidata @wikidata is so inhomogeneous. Here the subclasses of #teachingmaterial. #SPARQL https://w.wiki/FTNj Better use the Art & Architecture Thesaurus, though it is not exhaustive either. #AAT
It took me a while to understand that #getty:broader and variants are not equal to #SKOS:broader. Here are the "#hyponyms" of "people by degree of qualification" from The Art & Architecture Thesaurus (#AAT) - I am not quite convinced.

This is hell.
They don’t want to help us.
I have nothing left in tank.
Merry Christmas to me.
Wish me luck over the next few months. I really feel like I’m not going to make it.
I’ve felt this coming on for 3 years.
I was meant to take 2 months off at the end of this year but it didn’t happen bc other people didn’t do their jobs. I haven’t found a safe place to live. #NDIS has gone to #AAT before #Christmas which I specifically asked to be done after.
If other people not doing their jobs kills me, I want it known.
I need more help & a safe place to live.
I keep asking. Please help.

My intuition about bad things is usually good (no pun, was that a pun?) & I’ve felt this coming on for about 3 years.

Maybe it’s petty, but I will try to keep a list, & that list includes my family for making me miss out on any comforts including my own birthday since March.
It hasn’t ended, there’s no relief now my sister has moved next door.

During the commissioning of the Anglo-Australian Telescope the Chief Commissioning Astronomer, Ben Gascoigne, was almost killed when he fell from the interior dome catwalk to the main floor of the dome 7 metres below. His colleagues, clearly very sympathetic, named the spot Gascoigne's Leap and erected a plaque, which is still there to this day.

I feel a strong personal connection with the old telescope as a result of working on many related projects over the years.
The most significant is probably the project to replace the telescope control system (TCS). The Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) was one of the first large telescopes to be built with a digital control computer, which gave it unprecedented pointing and tracking accuracy for the time. The original control system, based on an Interdata Model 70 minicomputer, served the telescope well for many years but by the early 2000's it was becoming a bottleneck and a replacement was planned.
In 2005 I was hired by the AAO as an instrument scientist to work on two projects, one of which was the TCS replacement project. I was part of the team that implemented the new control system, allowing the old Interdata to be permanently retired by 2008.
The current AAT control console is a mix of illuminated push buttons and analogue dials and gauges from the original control system and panel mount LCD monitors from the mid 2000's refurb.
Some parts of the original computer were on display in the telescope dome during the Open Day.
Last month I visited some 25 year old telescopes, today I visited one that is 50 years old. Happy Birthday to the Anglo-Australian Telescope!
Nutzt jemand von Euch auch AAT, another Activity Tracker App?

“The federal court has ruled against a decision blocking access to early robodebt documents drafted under the former Coalition government, as part of one man’s long-running fight to shed light on the scheme’s origins.
Justices #GeoffreyKennett, #AnnaKatzmann and #ShaunMcElwaine ruled that a December 2022 decision made by the administrative appeals tribunal (AAT) to keep some robodebt documents exempt, including draft costings and new policy proposals, should be set aside due to procedural unfairness and because the #AAT had incorrectly agreed with the cabinet confidentiality exemptions Services Australia applied.
The #documents could add more details to the public record about what the former prime minister #ScottMorrison – who was then responsible for the social services portfolio – and other senior ministers, including #ChristianPorter, #AlanTudge and #MarisePayne, were privy to in the scheme’s initial stages”

Wir laden ein zum Workshop “Metadaten – Kontrollierte Vokabulare“!
Der Workshop findet am 3. Mai 2024 von 10 bis 15 Uhr online via ZOOM statt.
Wir werden uns der Verwendung von Kontrollierten Vokabularen anhand einiger Beispiele kritisch nähern und gemeinsam verschiedene Recherchemöglichkeiten in den gängigen großen Kontrollierten Vokabularen (#GND, #AAT, #Iconclass, #Geonames, #wikidata) ausprobieren und das Wissen in einer praktischer Übung anwenden.
Anmeldung unter: https://www.digis-berlin.de/einladung-zum-workshop-metadaten-kontrollierte-vokabulare/
The #aat, the Association of Authoritarians and Terrorists got a run recently. Team Democracy has to fight back hard!
And now my third game release (or third expansion really) is out and about in the wild!
There don't seem to be any super major hiccups, so now time to go home for some well-deserved rest before attacking all the smaller bugs tomorrow! 😄
