Hello, World! My home computer now has the default Python 3.11.4 package. I'm using the IDLE shell for now, and plan to switch later to Nova, which I have been using as an html editor for years.
§2 Philip Agre
When I was in graduate school for library and information science (1998-2000), Philip Agre's name came up often in discussions about how the Internet would change society. After a while, though, I rarely heard his name. Now I know why.

The album "The True Story of Bananagun" by the Australian band Bananagun is a fun 1960s-style mix of pop, tropical, and psychedelic sounds.
