Nonfiction? Find a suitable publisher. Download their proposal form. Fill it in. They’ll want table of contents, sample chapter, and breakdown of target audience. Knowing an author with them doesn’t hurt . There’s not much money in it though. (10% of revenue on 2000copies?)
Break the space into 6 or so panels. One key idea in each. Don’t worry about getting in every detail - it’s there to draw people in. Rather than be read line by line. you’ll be there to answer any questions. Make everything readable from 2m away.
While I’m sure Jane would be flattered by her inclusion as a hashtag, she might also point out that she’s still very much alive!
Liking the suggestions for Franklin and Hooke. As long as its not Lovelace it’s all good. (Though given her drug abuse the £50 is kind of appropriate).
Why would you put Lovelace anywhere near the other two? As you note, the others made great contributions. Yet for Lovelace you just throw out her name, because she’s “sort of famous”.
There are versions in sniff for arduino and flotilla. Got your email. I’ve been tied up on other project recently but I’ll get you a copy of the code Tomorrow.
Pdp11 & is 11/780? From which we get all unix. Personally got a soft spot for sun 3/60. And NeXT cube from which we get web and modern Mac.
Phone also doesn’t support upside down portrait. iPad does! V. Useful for using while stuff plugged in
Blocks are great when you don’t know what you want.... but typing and learning syntax is the easy bit of programming! Otherwise you end up with a Chinese’s typewriter!

Wrangled indeed! They’re horrid to open up (but easy fix when you get in there). Weren’t you tempted to wait for smoke, just cause it looks awesome!!!
Pretty sure every 15yr old can figure out that an ‘assessed element’ that doesn’t contribute to mark is actually non-assessed element => is not an element.
Nothing wrong with blocks conceptually. In fact sniff proves how expressive scratch is. But blocks are just too slow/bulky for larger progs. Chinese typewriter!
Fitting in the original case was always the problem with his one… (@jerwoodgallery)
