That's a start. If you learn a few HTML codes for the more common special characters and also how to make a clickable link, you will feel as brilliant as Lewis Carroll.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-87532282552810454322018-07-10T15:26:39.395-04:002018-07-10T15:26:39.395-04:00Brilliant.

I can make the Arduino do basic tasks but it doesn't really excite me or work C+ is just me wasting limited time. I usually ask a friend to do it then complain bitterly when my instructions were not precise enough for him to do the job properly. Very nice folk are programmers. They have the patience of saints. Saints who rely on practical people to test their gibberish.<br />I do run, copy and paste Python. Occasionally I even and odd write it but experience says this is not a good idea. I can do HTML. I can do it Like this <b>HTML</b> or like this <i>HTML</i>.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.com
