A few days ago the two of us decided that we would begin to learn HTML. We found a free on-line tutorial and started taking turns on doing a couple of lessons at a time, progressing at about the same rate and egging each other on. Then this morning Steve took off. Moving beyond how to insert text, make a header, add color to the background, and create a link, he didn’t move beyond his seat on the sofa in the study. It was evoking great memories of learning Fortan at USF and writing it at FPC. By the end of the day he had invested fourteen hours and had posted a series of interlinked “Hello World” documents to this website. Â A couple of hours later he took them down at least for now but don’t be surprised if at some point we have some pages on this site written by one or both of us in HTML. It’s fun stuff.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
This is the very same reason that Rachel made the “Dreaming” flag. She’ll walk into the room:
R: “Greg, what do you think of the (latest serious issue of the day, or plans for the next day).”
G: “Huh, wha? Hmmm. Yes”
R: “Oh. Coding. Right.”
