Clearly a nixie fan. That document is about a freq counter app, using an 
AVR uC. The nixie counter photo, is pure window dressing that has minimal 
relationship with the document. Old counters, like the one in the picture, 
did the logic control using discrete chips, hardwired into state 
sequencers. I bet he owns at least one nixie clock. Probably built it 
himself, and designed it, too. If he used an AVR chip, he could possibly 
have entered in his time sheet, and got paid for it.
