A short post this time. A few months ago I was looking for a little light distraction and I thought I’d learn Python. After doing all the usual stuff (Hello World, and a few problems from Project Euler) I decided to make a short game. As I’m sure you can tell from the title of this post it was a game of hangman.

Hello World!
WordPress has helpfully given me the perfect title for my first post here (click if you don’t know why). This is going to be a blog about all things code and related topics such as operating systems and cool hardware. (Especially as I am the recent owner of a Raspberry Pi)
At the moment I don’t have much on here, but if anyone does actually read this there will be more coming soon!
