#582 - News on Me |
Weekly NewsletterNews On Me#582 - Thursday 08th September, 2022groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Happy Birthday SoCoderSoCoder turned 16 this week. 16 years of rants and moans and the odd bit of coding inbetween.I probably should've held off that new Question of the Day functionality a week, huh? Could've claimed to have created a fun new feature for SoCoder's 16th birthday. Instead, I had nothing. And the birthday went off for another year without any fun new things. Bah, humbug. I suck at coming up with birthday ideas. What's slightly more disappointing is that nobody else did, either. At one point in the day there were 9 people on the site all at the same time, but nothing much was said other than the standard Happy Birthday. The site's dying on its arse, really, isn't it? Maybe we could do with a competition or something, but there's only about 3 or 4 people on the site who would have the time and energy to join in with it, and that just seems kinda pointless. Suggestions are welcome for some kind of anything to help liven up the site. Either that or we wait a bit and trudge through another uneventful Advent of Creativity.. Ugh.. You ever get the feeling that you're completely out of ideas? ... I had that feeling about a decade ago, and it's not really gone away. Bah, humbug. socoder.net/?Topic=8854 It was also Shroom Monk's birthday, this week. Hurray! Pop by and let him know you're thinking of him, and his mushroom cake. socoder.net/?Topic=8849 SoCoderCritically TriangularJay more or less copied some old code from Issue 2 of Amstrad Computer User Magazine, and it draws triangles.There's a ton of odd little bits and pieces in these old magazines, and Jay's probably going to be posting more copied code, once he can be bothered to flick through any more issues. socoder.net/?GotoPost=85377 BmpyTheRevillsGames asks, when exactly did Windows start allowing none-BMP images for its desktop..And can you help test the desktop-creation functionality in his latest project? If you're running Vista, hop along and let him know! socoder.net/?Topic=8852 SoOffTopicTelly but NotThere's been a number of "Not on Netflix" recommendations in the Netflix Recommendations thread, enough that I renamed it to a more general "Streaming Recommendations" title, instead.Flick through for some ideas for things to watch, if you're bored, or post your own favourites that you've seen recently. socoder.net/?GotoPost=85272 Thumbing ItRockford's thumb's status gets a nice update.Amazing how fast his recovery is. socoder.net/?GotoPost=85381 SoModernApple TimeApple did their big "thing" again yesterday, and if this bit of text suddenly cuts off without a link, it's because I started writing this on Tuesday and then forgot to update it later on Wednesday night after the event had happened.That would definitely not be the first time I've done this, by the way, but nobody reads far enough to notice my quirky mistakes, so we're all good. socoder.net/?Topic=8837 SoPointlessPointless CommandsJay added some kind of stupid dumbass 3D rotational maths stuff into JSE, this week, inspired by another of those Amstrad magazines.Honestly, he's not really sure why he added it. He hasn't done anything with the new functionality other than a test, and he can't think of anything else that he can do with it. Truly a completely useless function. socoder.net/?GotoPost=85376 Pointless AdventLooks like Advent's going to be a bit of a dud, this year, too.Brice's calendars are all but missing, and Jay can't find anything one, worthy of the insanity of the usual Advent thread. Rockford also seems to have given up. There may not be a Calendar thread, this year.  If you've spotted an interested Advent calendar out there, please do let us know. socoder.net/?GotoPost=85346 KiloTubeEpic Dance PartyView on YouTube MegaTubeNandi on the DrumsNandi plays at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concertView on YouTube GigaTubeCompany OriginsView on YouTube Blobby PursuitsBlobby Blobby Blobby!View on YouTube In ConversationJason AlexanderView on YouTube 80s AI CornerTake On and on and on and onView on YouTube 80s Banjo CornerSpin Round and round and round and roundView on YouTube PulpmaniaView on YouTube TVCover CornerView on YouTube ALChoonView on YouTube { ------------------- { Load, Next List! |
