Hardly a day has passed in the last 45 years when I have not heard something derived from the innovations of [W:Les Paul].

Governmental visitors
Whilst all are welcome to come and browse here, should tax payers be subsidising government browsing?
More worrying is the Windows/Internet Explorer 6 thing. Do these people know nothing about security?
Of course the [W:IP address] 195.92.40.49 is generic and could be from anywhere within gov.uk. Let’s hope they enjoyed, and were educated by, the silliness.

Itching to programme?
Someone asked yesterday how to make sprites move up and down when using Scratch. I have not done anything with Scratch for a while so I was inspired to download the latest version and give it a whirl.
Scratch was developed at the [W:MIT Media Lab] Lifelong Kindergarten (doesn’t that sound like a great place to work?) and it provides a simple drag & drop means of building a [W:Java applet]. These can uploaded to the Scratch website and shared with others.
If Scratch is too basic for your needs then I can commend Greenfoot which is a step closer to proper Java programming. Another option is the RunRev’s RevMedia which uses an English like language. All of these options are free.
Although there are a lot of examples with Scratch there still seems to be a need for an introduction to creating a simple game. So here it comes 🙂
My infallible guide to Scratch page will answer some if not all of your questions.
Curiouser and curiouser!
My recent post is a chart topper with Google.com but seems to have been banished from Google.co.uk listings. A chap could start to develop a persecution complex 🙁
