Quite a lot of rain recently, but we had a dry hour or so, some sun a a fairly strong breeze.
A few blue damselflies and smallish red dragonflies along the path. Sheltered by the bracken which is starting to droop, lots of flowers go to seed. Scabious coming up strongly.
A few peacock butterflies on the knapweed, a small copper on the path, the odd painted lady and white but fewer than recently.
I love seeing wood pigeons flighting in the wind. The Black Linn was full of rain water.
I like the proportions of this fishing boat. Pittenweem harbour on a rainy Sunday.

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.

Reminded me of Sound maps – UK Soundmap | British Library – Sounds where the sounds were crowd sourced. A lot of fun to join in with.
