I’ve got a small repo, ContextFree, that I keep coming back to whenever I want the specific kind of fun that comes from writing a handful of lines of code and having something unexpectedly pretty fall out the other end. It’s a collection of Context Free Art scripts — a tiny grammar for describing images as recursive drawing rules — plus a Docker image wrapping the cfdg renderer so I can run them without installing anything locally.

Squid doodles.

Sidney feeling the heat today, he has melted.

Started a new doodle sketchbook with some sticker inspired doodles.

Some robot sketches I’ve been working on in my sketchbook.

Work in progress sketch of our youngest dog.

Had a great day on my blacksmith course making a Ram’s head fire poker at Adrian Wood’s Forge, I would highly recommend it.

I went back for a second course after making a dragon coat hook last year, course which was part of my 50th birthday presents.

My picture on Flickr which have been liked by four or more people.

Short code for embedding Flickr albums easily. Here demonstrated with my Inkotober 2020 album.

Short code defined like this

<a data-flickr-embed="true" data-header="true" data-footer="true"
href="{{ index .Params 1 }}"
title="{{ index .Params 0 }}">
<img src="{{ index .Params 2 }}"
width="800" height="600"
alt="{{ index .Params 0 }}">
</a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

First parameter is the album title. Second parameter is the album URL. Third parameter is a URL to an image to use for the album.

Fractal application running on my Amazon Kindle 10

Testing a Flickr shortcode I found here flickr-hugo-embed and tweaked for my own needs.

After watching Speed Cubers documentary on NetFlix decided to start back trying to learn to solve the cube from memory rather than following the instructions.

So far I can get upto the middle layer without refering to the online walk through instructions.

Rediscoverying Inkscape vector drawing application after a few years, its even better than before.

Had a lot of fun converting some of my doodles into vector line art.
