Bandung, interesting stuff. I will have to try it! I want to code on my
phone so I can practice my programming during my train rides. Maybe it
sounds like something a person would not want to do, i feel like its my only
opportunity to really try and get better at programming since all I do is
art at work all day. Many thanks!
