For those who like old-school signal encodings to communicate certain processes within old buildings.
First smoke to be expected at 7 p.m. CEST on May 7th (UTC +2).
Cheat sheet:
: Old men didn’t came to an agreement an will try again. (i.e. black smoke) : Old men came to an agreement. (i.e. white smoke) : No news since the last signal broadcast, please wait. (i.e. no smoke)
Poor camera operator who’s job it is to capture the whole thing. Soon he won’t be able to see anything due to darkness, has already bumped up the iso settings.

Something depressing about the affair.
I respect that this tradition has carried on a millennia or more but could use a little modern tweaking .
