Colophon

Website

This site was built using the Zola static site generator with an adaptation of the Goyo theme.

Setting

The setting used to illustrate some of the examples on this site was inspired by Douglas Adams's brilliant The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Pan Macmillan, 1979) and its subsequent bonkers television adaptation (British Broadcasting Corporation, 1981), shown here under the allowance of the Copyright Act (1976)’s Section 107 providing for fair use purposes such as criticism, commentary, parody, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Which of these applies is left as an exercise for the reader.

The tutorial text and language reference is excerpted from chapter 9 of Andrew Cowie's forthcoming Virtual Hammer: the Technique Procedure Language (Harrington Free Press, 2026), used with the permission of the publisher.
