TETRIS

I’d seen LED animations such as

the Tetris matrix in [issue 21’s

animated clock] but never thought

I’d be able to make one myself. It

turns out you don’t have to – just

download the right bit of code, and

it's done for you. Truly, this is the

lazy man’s way to program things.

tomato you say la\y, + say efficient,

MICROWAVE GLASS

I have to take issue with you. Popty-ping is

not Welsh for microwave [as we implied in

the contents of issue 21]. The correct word

is microdon. ‘Don’ means wave in Welsh.

It’s also prototype Celtic for water, which is

why there are so many rivers in Europe

called the Don.

'nglish, so itũs cra\y that weũd even

attempt any 9elsh in the mag. 'ither way,

we had good, clean fun with microwaving

glass, and it was pretty cheap too.
