A very timely link. I’ve just been at this year’s YAPC::EU conference, and at the end there is an auction where each year they try to get more and more bizzare items to sell. On offer this year was the chance to choose the language of next year’s opening address – the winning bid was for simultaneous Japanese, British Sign Language and … Morse Code. I’ll be sure to forward the link to next year’s organisers 😉
Ever since studying Huffman compression at Uni. I realised that Morse Code is simply a very poorly weighted Huffman tree. I must admit that it’s good to finally see a tree drawn out tho’ – I’ve just never been bothered.
Funny, I never really thought of critiquing Morse Code, before, but you’re right…
