My user name is a play on words based on computer source-code and also a tribute to controlled folly.
I enjoy computer programming and wrote an implementation of "Life" in BASIC in 1972. The creatures were printed on a paper roll by a mechanical teletype. Those were the days. Later in 1976 I taught programming to school kids. We used Algol! We filled in coding forms and submitted them to be punched onto cards for the overnight run. The next day we'd get the error messages or rarely a successful run.
One of my follies is to go geohashing. A totally pointless but quite pleasing activity. Another is to walk from Cape St Vincent (Portugal) to Istanbul (Turkey). 1600 miles completed by the summer of 2010 with about 5400 miles to go.
