Being a fan of old hardware, I used the TI-99/4A (released in 1981) to calculate some primes.
The code is written in BASIC, the programming language found on most computers of this era.
Further information on the TI can be found in this Wikipedia article.

Using the programming features given on Texas Instruments’ graphing calculator TI-84 Plus, I created this text-base connect four game.
The code is written in BASIC and can be seen below.
To transfer code to and from the graphing calculator, I used Texas Instruments’ TI Connect™ CE Software [1].
1 to 7 put your piece accordingly,

In my collection of programs generating fractals this famous one cannot miss.
The Koch snowflake is generated by starting with an equilateral triangle. Every side of the triangle then gets cut into three equal pieces and the center one gets replaced with yet another equilateral triangle.
To get the perfect fractal, you would need to repeat this process infinitely many times.
More information on the snowflake can be found in this Wikipedia entry.

Last sunday I posted an animated gif to celebrate the Worldwide Pinhole Day. On that day I also took pinhole photographs. My favourite, ‘Red Tulip’ can also be found on the official Worldwide Pinhole Day’s website.
Other photographs I took include white flowers, the same tulip in another light and a yellow flower.
