12:30 AM JOINED ONLINE SITE: BRILLIANT.ORG
https://brilliant.org/premium
This looks like being a very good online teaching site...where the emphasis is on 'do it'/as opposed to just merely 'reading it'...; however, it's very expensive to join them...
£399.99 for a Lifetime membership
£5.60 monthly for annual membership/12 x 5.60 = £67.20 (20% discount first year membership offer)

I took out a FREE trial option which allows me to try things out before buying; and, found it to be very interesting, indeed; topics include: Computer Science/Maths/-etc.
01:10 AM AT WIKIPEDIA LOOKING AT MANCHESTER BABY COMPUTING MACHINE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Baby
Computing history always did tend to very deeply fascinate me; as does most things to do with computing in almost any form.
01:26 AM LOOKING AT FREE PREVIEW UDEMY COURSE: GIT/GITHUB: £9.99
https://www.udemy.com/course/git-github-the-complete-git-github-course/?couponCode=GITGITHUB2019&utm_content=promo&utm_campaign=2019-08-16&utm_source=email-sendgrid&utm_term=29894208&utm_medium=1336656
I used Git Hub quite a lot; but, I don't use Git very often...hardly ever..as it's command line based; whereas Git Hub is more web browser based; I also sometimes use GitHub for Desktop application...this is also a GUI/Graphical User Interface based app.
I always wanted to learn more about the use of Git/GitHub/GitHub for Desktop...how to use these platforms 'professionally'. I only use these in a purely 'amateur' capacity, instead.
Perhaps, this course would be well worth buying; however, right now, I'm totally flat broke; but, I might consider buy it, later on. A slight reservation I have is this course doesn't seem to go very in depth; but, it does seem to cover learning and understanding all of the basics; which, for me, might well be good enough; then, late on, I could buy a more advanced course.
LATEST UPDATE: I did NOT buy this course, yet.
2:54 AM SEARCHED UDEMY TO FIND FREE GIT COURSES
https://www.udemy.com/home/my-courses/search/?q=git
I decided because my funds are low...; a much cheaper way to learn Git...would be go over to Udemy; then, do a search for FREE Git courses, instead. The search results came back showing around 100 courses that are FREE; some of those search results are irrelevant...because they are foreign language courses/and, others are irrelevant...because I had already signed up for those courses before. However, there were quite a few courses that I did newly sign up for. In all, I've signed up for around 20 Git courses, altogether; and, these I will have to go and check out learning from, later. The one I'm looking at, right now, is...
https://www.udemy.com/course/learngit/learn/lecture/6924130#overview
...which, most unusually, I was able to finish this short course. Normally, I start them...but, then, never -or, hardly ever- finish.
04:38 AM INTERESTING SITE: WOLFRAMALPHA
I was watching a KhanradCoder YouTube video...
How To Build Your Own Virtual Assistant in Python 2.7 In One Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o_CX6gS0xQWhat this guy does is he shows how to use Python to create a User Interface textbox...into which you can type questions. Who is Tomas Edison/-etc. The program source code links to both: wolfram/wikipedia API search engines...; and, it's from these that search engine results are returned in order to answer whatever question you've typed in.
5 AM SOFTWARE: WOLFRAM MATHEMATICA ONLINE: WOLFRAMALPHA.COM
Watching the above video also led me to a very interesting link...
https://www.wolframalpha.com/
...this site is just totally brilliant. All I can say is the world 'famous', Wolfram Mathematica software...is the leading Mathematical software in the whole wide world.
To use the above online software...just type in any sum such as:
2+2
2x+2x
2x+4y
12x12
-etc.
...and, I guarantee you will be surprised at the results which get returned back; it's like all sorts of variation answers to the problem you just typed in...solving the problem, literally; and, also, using the 'number line'/as well as, using graphs/and, many other suggestions. As a mathematical learning tool, this thing is absolutely FANTASTIC!
12:34 PM UPLOADED 4 FILES INTO: UPLOADBANK
http://www.uploadbank.com/?op=my_files;fld_id=0
I went to UploadBank...where I had previously created a single test file: [text.txt].
Then, using their interface I discovered it's possible to select a file...and, 'edit' it's contents; including
-> change the filename + dot + filenameExtension
-> change the file contents inside of the file
Using that same online UI/User Interface...I decided to use 'copy' to create a new file...then, make 4 further changes so far, today...
(NOTE: 'Copy', copies the filename; but, not the file contents...instead, the file contents are left 'blank'...for you yourself to go fill in; also, you can change whatever the file name says.)
1> changed: [text.txt] to become [hw01.vbs] - MsgBox("Hello, world! From VBScript")
2> created: [hw01.py] - print("Hello, world! From Python")
3> created: [hw01.bat] - ECHO Hello, world! From MS DOS
4> created: [hw01.html] - <p> Hello, world! from HTML</p>
I visited West Norwood Library...because I knew certain books were due for re-newal on the 20th of August...which is just 3 days away; and, before I forgot...and, ended up running up some huge fines on each book...I decided it's best to renew these in advance...they are now renewed until 7th September. The rest of the library books are due back on 3rd Sep. One book is urgently due for return...as somebody else did order it...Big Data.
3:30 PM BROUGHT CHIPS FROM 'FISH & CHIPS' STORE NEXT TO COOP
My original reason for going down the road today was because my mum said she wanted some 'chips'; I tried going to my nearest 'fish and chip' shop...but, they were closed; this caused me to have to travel out further.
3:58 PM BROUGHT 2 FRAMES + MOUNTS FROM EMMEAUS LOCAL CHARITY SHOP
I went and brought 2 x A3 (approx.) picture frames + mounts from Emmeaus local charity shop; the cost for both was £11.00 (£6 + £5). I used my last saved £20.00 note to buy these with; because I felt if I didn't buy them, right now; then, somebody else would, instead.
20:33 CREATED QB64 TIMES TABLES PROGRAM
This file is stored inside of my GitHub online a/c.:
https://github.com/pramnora/qb64/blob/master/timestables.bas
I think, that choosing the right words to describe your program with; can, sometimes, take as long as it takes to actually write the program itself; because documenting your program is very important, indeed...so, that the reader will be able to more fully understand it...even before actually making the program execute.
