Cube 4 x 4 x 4

Here is a summary of the work I have done and appreciation that I have for the Freetronics Cube. The Cube provided a point of focus for many technical aspects of electronics and computing. By the way, I am letting Grammarly suggest changes to the spelling and grammar in this particular article.

A restart in a side interest in IR photography. The EXIF data for such pictures show camera type and exposure details. Error in uploading due to size is 2.4MB. fix this and try again.

Fractals

A long-standing interest has been fractals and their generation. A favourite language at the moment is Haskell. Here are a few examples created by a Haskell program, the source of which is forked and available here.
