THE HALIKAN LIVES

youtu.be/3_XdQwZSrag

The Chaplet Halikan LA-30 is an interesting 80s laptop on its own but this one busting into 1000 pieces & being restored by PolyMatt takes it to another level. Let's dive into using the PC itself, its odd quirks, and its small but fascinating spot in history!

Dr. Chaplet is named for (and designed after) the character Dodo Chaplet in the 1960's Dr. Who. This is one of about two time travel Easter eggs in the show! @thesimpsons

So… the latest episode of The Simpsons features a character called Dr Dorothea Chaplet. And this is how she looks.

I didn’t expect this to happen!

Spilt all the bits and pieces into four different (and HOPEFULLY more protective) packages and shipped it off to the laptop doctor himself @polymatt.bsky.social

The Halikan will be reborn!

I love her so much. One entry is like "Raining out today. If I don't keep praying the chaplet, Jesus is fixing to send a meteor. Prayed chaplet all day. Rain stopped. Jesus still might send meteor."

Welp. Here's an LGR video I didn't wanna make:

This is the 1989 Chaplet Halikan LA-30A, or pieces of it anyway! One of the earlier laptops to run a backlit LCD, 40MB hard disk, and two ISA slots all on battery power. And unfortunately it was destroyed. Can we save this rarity?

And for anyone interested, here are the project files free to use! www.printables.com/model/147282...

I’d love to see someone restore their own Halikan, or maybe even use as a base to install some modern sleeper hardware inside.

I’m going to be pedantic as shit and point out that actually a rosary that only has one decade and not five is a chaplet, and I don’t know that I personally would give my business as a rosary consumer to a merchant who did not know that

Thanks to @clairewillett.bsky.social, I now know about teething rosaries, so you have to know, too. Thank you!

GATHER YE POWER #33 (SECTION 1):
I am taking a new approach where I break my chapters down into smaller segments (known as chaplets) and upload them as I finish them. This is the first chaplet. A hors d'vourse of some kind. Enjoy: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ga...

Ivory chaplet, probably French, ca. 1530.
The beads are carved with figures of the Virgin Mary and St John the Evangelist, the joined heads of a man, woman and Death, and images of the Pope, kings and figures in aristocratic dress.
Ref 281-1867, V & A Museum.
The chaplet is made up of ten small beads, two larger beads at top and bottom, and a terminal memento mori pendant at the lower end, each carved with three heads. The uppermost bead, is a flat panel, with, on one side, the Virgin, on the other, St John the Evangelist (this is a modern insertion). The ten small beads take the form of leaf-covered nuts and all contain three busts in oval quadrilobed niches. The larger three-sided bead below, in the form of an aedicule with a coloumn at its centre, contains a pope, a king, and an emperor. At the bottom, the memento mori pendant consists of three conjoined heads, a bearded man with wreath, a skull with worms curling out from his mouth, also with wreath, and a young woman with plaited and knotted hair. Where their heads meet above there is a triple leaf form and on the underside is a foliate cup. In the Late Middle Ages the chaplet was a vital and commonplace aid to keeping count of the repetition of prayers for both rich and poor. Often hung from the belt by a ring, it usually consisted of ten ‘ave’ (Hail Mary) beads with a larger ‘paternoster’ (Our Father) bead at the beginning or end and a terminal Crucifix. Chaplet beads were made in many materials, from humble plain wood to precious metals and ivory. The popularity of the rosary – the fullest form of repeated prayers – gave rise to the establishment of confraternities devoted to its use in the late fifteenth century, so that by the sixteenth century the production of intricate and costly chaplets was widespread. Chaplets often ended not with a cross but with a terminal pendant, and it is these larger beads which are usually the grandest. Most of them are connected with the notion of the memento mori, a constant reflection that human life is transient. The most common type of memento mori bead is that with conjoined heads: the skull, representing Death, is always present, and is either backed with a single bust or a pair of heads, male and female.

On old Hiems' thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set.

I hope I'm not too casual.
I was feeling very... earthy.

Pendant to a Rosary or Chaplet

Elephant ivory with traces of polychromy

This small ivory carving conveys one of the most profound themes of the late Middle Ages: the inevitability of death.
