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.

One thing that I’ve never got around to seriously try in my years messing around with different operating systems is BSD, other than the flavor of it your get with MacOs.

Having watch a lot of videos around it recently on YouTube by RoboNuggie on FreeBSD it encouraged me to have to give it a go.

It went surprisingly well the and have tried both XFCE and Mate desktop installs. Something that I’ll look at using more of in the future as a backup daily driver.

One of my favorite low foot print Linux installs is Puppy Linux been using it on and off for years.

It has saved my bacon on a few times used to boot and restore or save data from a dead OS install.

New version looks good so far.

Make learning programming fun

It is funny how things come around again, when I started learning to programming back in the 1980s on my 8 bit machines (ZX81, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro) I used to play with graphics a lot. It gave instant feedback and visually showed the results of things like recursion. I had great fun playing with Fractals and other procedural generated images.

Recently I discovered a YouTube channel and programming platform which took me right back to those days.
