part 2 is up, but its just lua blab, in a nutshell I use characters
1-9 and A-Z as a 35 unique value, truncated base 36. No zero (which is
fine lua gets a little goofy with zero values) anyway, on the text
side each white pixel's X value is dumped into a table, the image is
then divided up into 35 pixel columns(per line), and is reformed to
reflect that as base 36 with break characters (b) though I call them
blocks.

so there can be upto 8 blocks,(map temp and advisories are only 4) so
if you wanted to draw pixels 5,65,80128,200, you would end up sending
a string to the Apple's input prompt like ...

part 3 deals with the apple side of things, but its mainly a bunch of
xy for loops, which the compiler does help ... a little

Also thanks for the video complement, its just my old freebee 2mp /
qvga camera on a tripod with a little effort =)
