Happy World Turtle Day! One of my favourite turtle-releated software development things is that Firefox console will show a little turtle icon on slow requests. Picture also related. - eviltoast

Also shout out to all shell programmers and turtle graphicians and turtle roboticians! Turtles are really awesome, they have shell access! And won’t be rushing to push anything on production too fast either.

    Thank you! I had been picking my memory for this for so long. We too were taught LOGO in school in the early 2000s. I had forgotten the name, I found kturtle after searching about but couldn’t recall what the original program was called.

      I was taught it around 1988, most likely on a Thomson MO5 ? Or maybe it was a TO9. It was a while ago :,) I just remember the fascination watching the little pixels color themselves and experimenting with the instructions to see what we could come up with.
