I didn't want to like that. I'm sure after hearing it enough I'll hate it. But right now right here I thought it was okay dokay with a slice of pepperoni.

Knock grid
(5 x5 grid with the letters of the alphabet in each square. From top left A to bottom right Z ) * c and k make the same noise so are coded the same.

Coordinates for each letter are x, y
Beneath this the coordinates for 
CAT (3,5)(2,5)(4,2)
ON (4,3) (3,3)
MAT (2,3)(1,5)(4,2)

To the right of this is a small pencil sketch showing how I would choose to encode thst information visually.  Cat is shaded with light shading  between the key letters
On is shown by two diagonal lines
Mat is 3 dots connected by dark lines.

Dead Pioneers & Petrol Girls - Love Language Listen to Love Language on TIDAL

Love this band.

If I was any good at coding id create my own app for a customisable keyboard. But with out the above keyboard, my coding practice is slow. What i need is the customisable keyboard to help me develop the customisable keyboard. Oh no ive recursively erred

Id like that too. I like to play with processing (code language based on java that is aimed at generative art) and using it on a phone is just such a faff. Constantly 'shifting' and accessing a third keyboard display to type code is a ballache.

That one is a cypher. It is based on the knock code. Each series of marks are a different word. It is the title of a song by Gary Numan, which I was listening to at the time.

You win a sheep if you can decode it. *

*the sheep is a concept you can access in your head.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

Come March, the buds on the tree's begin to burst, this #dataviz shows the timing of bud burst for different tree species across the UK. The black lines show the timing in the Spring for the years 2000 to 2025 and the blue line is the average day for that species.

Did anyone hear Kemi on bbc radio 4 this morning. Talking about the uks response to the attack on Iran.
I'm paraphrasing
"In a nuclear war you don't wait for the otherside to attack."
Or some words very close to that. Fucking chilling.

The third one along could use a tighter crop.
Where are your donkey photos? Donkeys would likely drop a Billy bragg type album. Yet here we are and donkeys core is no where to be seen. Typical

Photo of Eccsall woods. Looking back towards the sun with faint misty remains of fog. 

The area in tge foreground is clear and framed by the trucks of 2 trees.

The mid ground and focus ofvthe photo is of 2 trees with the sun behind them

The background is a mesh of trees and their branches seen through misty fog.

Another misty photo of eccysall woods. A light patch of fog framed by darl trees draws the eye in. 
In the foreground a tree trunk lies flat on the ground. A vivid green moss covers the top of the the trunk

I was trying to look at your work. But my blue-sky has a bug where some profiles never load enough for me to scroll past the very top section.
