Day 3 in @macgenie‘s photo challenge the sun relaxes after a hard day battling the clouds and rain.
That’s all about hardware though. What about software? Also around the same time two years ago, I made a list of the 10 most influential computer programs ever written. I think the Apollo Guidance Computer is probably missing from both my lists, hardware and software – what else did I miss?
A wee mess with p5.js Web Editor I’ve been watching Tom Smith‘s sketches on twitter with interest. I’ve not spent enough time playing with this, but potential for a lot of fun. One good thing is the cloning of interesting projects.

A quick Glitch embed, a small css animation test. I’ve been messing about with glitch for a while. It is an interesting free tool. An online editor that can edit html, css and JavaScript.

I’ve imported all the posts from my known site here. The site was getting a ton of spam. I’m now going through the posts here & manually fixing images that were not brought over. Then I’ll delete the site. I am also manually bringing in posts from fargo as I found an html file.
