What can I make with the programmable electronics from my wi

[hrhofmann@sbcglobal.net]

My wife's old coffee pot bit the dust mechanically, and has been replaced. I have the programmable electronic clock and controls which still work perfectly. The programmble control allows turning on of any load up to about 15 amps, based on the relay that does the switching of the 120V to the load.. Once on, I believe the load is connected permanently. I haven't tested that yet.

Now I am wondering what to do with the electronics. I hate to just toss out a perfectly functioning clock and timer. IDEAS!!!!!????!!!!!

Find a suitable package and turn it into a digital clock.
Something unusual, such as a package not normally associated
with digital clocks, might be entertaining. If you can't
find anything, a wooden box will suffice.

One thing nice about the coffee machine timer is that it
probably has a countdown timer. That could be useful for
a darkroom timer, bomb detonator, or if it has red LED's,
a movie prop. Yeah, add a few simulated dynamite sticks
for added effect. Otherwise, a countdown timer might be
useful for how long before you show house guests the door.

On the other foot, if you want to actually use the timer
for something practical, plug your battery chargers(s)
into the timer. Much as I would like to trust the
"intelligent" chargers not to turn my rechargeable batteries
into a lithium fueled inferno, an external timer to enforce
the maximum charge time, might be useful.

Why do I envision the episode of The Simpsons in which Homer makes a time machine out of a toaster ?

Anyway, many years ago I had a digital clock with a timer that instead of having a radio, had an outlet on the side. I have no idea what happened to it but I lost it somehow. I know I lost it because I wouldn't have given it away or sold it. I thought it a useful thing.

I think it used to turn off after a couple of hours, pretty much like a clock radio does. You'll probably find the same about this. After a while they wouldn't want the heating element on all day. I would think......

The brewing element is what pulled all the current though, and it wasn't a big concern because when it's not suberged in water it turns on for a split second then the thermostat turns it off for quite some time.

To be the most versatile I think the best idea would be to just wire an electrcal outlet to it.

Who is likely to do that?

Can't crosspost from google-groups?

Web design history

The Hypertext concept was invented by Ted Nelson in 60s, however it was used only for some decades after. During 1992 to 1994 other developers started adding up their own bits of HTML codes. HTML 1 tags and the HTML 2 born. As internet faster now the Web designers are putting more HTML capabilities. In 1995 more HTML tags have appeared and HTMl 3 was born. Now designers have an lot of option to use HTML B tables and style sheets and many more. They also have animated images, and Flash also introduced. It changed the whole landscape of web design from static to dynamic.

The first web site published in the World Wide Web history at sometime in August of 1981. It was some 30 years ago, however the Internet born in the sixties. It wasn’t fast as today. However it was capable in transferring information from one computer to another. Tim Berners was the first person who invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners is British computer scientist. The First website launched in year 1990. on December 25 1990 with the help of Robert Cailliau and young student at CERN, Tim Berners implemented first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) patron and server via Internet.

Find a suitable package and turn it into a digital clock.

I used an oven clock as just a clock for years. It had a huge bright
flourescent display.

I've long used a Delco digitally tuned car radio as a bedside radio. I

think the display is flourescent, it's not LED or LCD. I soon discovered
I needed to find how to dim the display, with the lights off the radio
display almost lit up the room.

A car radio next to the bed is a great idea.
