Robot Repair
Yesterday I read Alan’s post Right? or Choice? To Repair (or Joy Thereof) #DLINQDigDetox – CogDogBlog. One thing in particular caught my eye:
And yes extend broken devices to broken technology. Can’t play old flash content? Try Ruffle.
I’d not heard of Ruffle, but I though it was worth a quick try. I searched my hard drive and was delighted to find rommy.swf.
Rommy has been reborn several times, born as a HyperCard stack in the 1990s, then a SuperCard project, arriving on the web via the Roadster plugin that ran SuperCard projects. The final incarnation was in flash (although I might have a javascript effort somewhere).
Anyway I uploaded the swf and htlm file, adding the link to the ruffle javascript library & it worked not only that it works on an iPad.
I don’t suppose it is of much use in the classroom now, back in the HyperCard days I though the idea of pupils creating mazes and then getting their partners to write instructions to go through them was a good one. I had not see it else where is such an easy to use fashion.

Woke up this morning to the radio talking about the cost of living rising a further 5%. It infuriates me the index that they use for this calculation, which grossly underestimates the real cost of inflation as it happens to people with the least. Allow me to briefly explain.
Read this thread by @BootstrapCook. Brilliant work on how unfair inflation currently is.

Carelessly throwing this into the slight, fun Japanese novel pile.
Full uncut interview with land campaigner Andy Wightman discussing rewilding, land reform, trees and why the Scottish mountains look the way they do.
Great listen (huffeduffed the youtube) nuanced discussion.

Fusilli with tinned sardines, fennel, lemon and anchovy crumbs.
I think I had the correct ingredients! We are split over the crumbs. D prefers our usual plain in butter. I am with the anchovies.
