Happy New Year 2012

A slightly geeky New Year entry this time, as most of my pictures seem to relate to the unearthing (from the attic) of my old BBC Model B computer, from 1983!


Yes it still works, although shortly after this
demo it started smoking. Probably best to
keep it aired and not use it on the carpet!


Tom and I experiment with simulations
of gravitational attraction


Here's part of the program. Not having a
spare disk, I just recorded it on the camera


Tom makes a prime number generator


We celebrated in our recently adopted style of launching sky lanterns into the post-midnight air. We must have been lucky last year in getting still air, because this year proved a bit more tricky, with the flaming articles threatening the garden (and those of a few neighbours).
