Ya, so the Turing Complete CGoL has also been ported off to SHUMPness

Also, yay hashes. Wonderful single byte ruby hash code here with evaluations of truth

"a".hash==100

"b".hash==101

(Yes, I'm totally ignoring that it grows to the point of "aa".hash=6562050)

We learn something everyday. Today, my teacher of English noted a comma splice to which I queried how semi colons work. She pointed at some literary reference guide book thing; I read it. So I will now interact with you fellow readers, and ask what knowledge you have uncovered today

Also, took me long enough to uncover Processing. Ah, the greatness of not even having to have installed the Java SDK bloatware stuff to use it. At long last, I found a language that finally also integrates drawing and keyboard/mouse inputs. Ah, how beautiful it is. Well, besides that nasty relic of using ; at the end of every line

Yeah, the semicolon is great; it's so easy to use, and adds so much: it helps your sentence to make, well, sense.

Today, I uncovered that… actually, we're just revising now, so no real education for me :(

Half of education is spent testing you. Half of the next half is spent reviewing you. Half of the next half is spent amusing. And the final half of a half of a half is spent teaching you

Neat, recursive education structures.

Hmm, I tried out Processing. Quite fun to mess around with, I made a colorful vortex effect.
