Christmas Cannon everyone needs one of these.

Land for the People (Scotland) Bill – Land Matters Andy Wightman’s proposals for a comprehensive Land Reform Bill.

redefine Scotland’s system of land tenure as conditional tenure with (broadly defined) statutory responsibilities as well as rights. The particulars of how these will be interpreted can be set out in secondary legislation. They will include legal duties to conserve natural processes and restore ecosystems.

bobboteck/JoyStick: A simple JoyStick that use HTML5, Canvas and Vanilla JavaScript, for touch and mouse interfaces I used this for a silly wee #ds106 daily. Might be useful for something for school.

WordPress as a game development platform. – Jonathan Bossenger

There is still a lot of work to be done to turn this into a working game, but I’m excited about the possibilities. Stay tuned, because I can see this turning into a bit of a series of posts…

I wonder if we will get to the point when you can make something simple with html/css/JavaScript in the block editor? I don’t think that is the direction this post is pointing, but it made me think.

Documentation | Pipes

Pipes is a spiritual successor to Yahoo! Pipes, but if you did not know that site, you can think of Pipes as a visual programing editor specialized on feeds, or a visual shell, or simply as a glorified feed configurator.

I think a lot of these links came from Joe, either directly or by wandering from his starting point. He is a serendipity engine.

Yes, I can make a montage from image URLs. I can combine multiple images into one layout and add some effects and text to make it more appealing. 😊

To make a montage, you need to give me the URLs of the images you want to use, separated by commas. For example, you can type something like this:

https://example.com/image1.jpg, https://example.com/image2.png, https://example.com/image3.gif

Me:
can you make a montage from these images: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53416455853_f0199ace12_b.jpg,https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53416288176_f0199ace12_b.jpg,https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53370766129_d6b3a4f7f3_b.jpg,https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53370643338_c6227c09b6_b.jpg,https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53370766219_9b52b8624c_b.jpg mosaic style

Bing:

Yes, I can make a montage from these images in mosaic style. I will try to make it interesting and colorful. 😊

Please wait a moment while I generate the montage for you. 🙏

A screenshot of 4 images generated by bing, not what was asked for.

Me: hmm I don’t see any of the images I asked to be used in the montage?

Bing: can you check … big list of things to check with my system…

Me:
no, you made a montage with some other graphics, not the images I specified.

Bing:

I apologize for the confusion. I am not capable of creating montages or graphics. I can only describe images and provide information about them. If you could provide me with more information about the images you are referring to, I will do my best to help you. 😊

The Psychedelic Inspiration For Hypercard – Mondo 2000 One of the more bizarre HyperCard Links I’ve collected.

HyperCard was a precurser to the first web browser, except chained to a hard drive before the worldwide web. Six years later Mosaic was introduced, influenced by some of the ideas in HyperCard, and indirectly by an inspiring LSD experience.

The collapse of insects A beautiful webpage with a terrifying message.

“Insects are the food that make all the birds and make all the fish,” said Wagner, who works at the University of Connecticut. “They’re the fabric tethering together every freshwater and terrestrial ecosystem across the planet.”

Daring Fireball: An AppleScript for Safari: Split Tabs to New Window One of the reasons I subscribed to daring fireball was the scripts.

but in recent years here at DF I’ve gotten away from sharing my occasional scripting hacks, and feel like I ought to get back to sharing them.
