Read moreI own a fair old number of Xbox games so when the weekly or special sales come about I need a quick way to see which titles would interest me. I wrote a small Python program to aid me.
Read moreI enjoy video games so naturally have a backlog to get through. I like to randomly pick a game and if it suits my mood, I’ll play it or get another random game. Unfortunately rawg.io doesn’t have this feature so I’ve made one.

Read moreBiology in the 90s focused on concepts of organisms and competition for environmental resources. A better paradigm to understand ecosystems is as a community of organisms. Sometimes though, organisms are so inter-dependent it almost seems archaic to still view them as separate. Take yourself, for example, you’re made up of individual cells. Are you a community of organisms or are you one organism?
Read moreUsing work undertaken to communicate over USB with the OWI Robotic Arm, I wrote a program, in Python, to control the robotic arm.
Read moreI was surprised a few years back about the name Hatton having such history and a coat of arms. As someone who rejects aristocracy, pageantry and heraldry; a coat of arms has little appeal to me and my sense of identity beyond that of gimmickry but indeed that’s how I intend to use ours.
