Epic year
yes, I'm also from Angela's course,
I made that opening, edited the series, and the French version, Octopuce. Bits and Bytes was written and produced by Denise Boiteau and David Stansfield and directed by Stuart Beecroft.
Redirected here from Angela Yu's web development course!
This explanation is everything! Thanks for this simple and clear analogy.
Watching in 2024. Thank you Angela❤
Wwwwait... at 11:08, he opens the drive by confidently resting his left hand on top and pulling the door out with his thumb... a right-handed newb would use their right hand and awkwardly pry the door up with an extended, upside down pointer finger... and if that part isn't real.. hang on, I suspect this whole episode may have been staged!!!
Super b content
Luba Goy is a smoke show
best one
Csteam anyone? 🎀

Hey it's wolfman Jack!

gobl glook
f.y.i. shift+enter is the carriage return.
Luba's outfit is tripping me out again....I think it maybe a problem...That necktie thing is a little disconcerting.
Luba's dress is tripping me out. Hell I was hacking AT&T's phone system when this came out. Er....I mean...I can't confirm or deny that any communication protocols were breached, If such communication protocols indeed exist. Nor can I confirm or deny that such tools existed on any Commodore 64 pirate BBS that I'm not aware of. If such a site existed. I'm totally innocent. I know nothing.
Gosh, it's like you didn't update ChatGPT for 30 years.
such a wonderful explanation.....
25:57 *I swear that's Young Sheldon*
*why are Billy and Luba in separate rooms*
As a kid, I recall being struck by the realism of that green dragon + castle in the sky. Unfortunately there's no detail. If anyone knows the computer/software. Seems to be a demo. ruclips.net/video/CxaMtW8UPA0/видео.htmlm50s
*that grade-school footage really made me nostalgic of a White, crime-free Canada.*
*the intro music & sound are so mellow, unlike today...*
*I used to watch this back in 1983 when it was first-run. I can hear those keyboard clicks in my sweetest dreams.*
Me too. That theme music just instantly took me back.
better than uni

With every word Luba says, I'm on edge for the punch line.

"As long as we're sufficiently skeptical about the changes that are taking place [and] we take a very critical view of them and keep ourselves educated, then we can afford to be optimistic about the future - in education, in the home and in the arts."

I was never introduced to coding until well into my high school days at Arbor School of Central Florida in the late 2010's. Most of the coding I use is mostly of C++ or C, to execute or open a software program. I've seen them do that when downloading the Wrapper Offline master file from the Github website.
