#467 - News This Way |
Weekly Newsletter; News This Way#467 - Thursday 14th May, 2020groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Waiting for Installs ; Hello WorldGrabbed the laptop to start writing this week's Newsletter, and of course, it decided it was time for an extra lengthy install session. One of those "30% Forever" instances, where you end up getting an alarming amount of time to write a waffling amount of text, whilst waiting for it. This week, I've mostly been reworking the AGameAWeek layout. Tons of stuff to do on it, as I apparently don't like to make life easy on myself. Thankfully, I've discovered CSS's calc() function, which has reduced about 90% of the work that I'd have to do. *phew* It's odd how old ideas seem to keep coming back, and with them, the exact same bugs and issues. This time, however, I have the power of calc() by my side, and I can do subtractions. Sidebar = width:80px Content = width:calc(100% - 80px) It's an absolute godsend! Hopefully, then, it'll all come together a little quicker, this time around. And.. Maybe not use all those tables? socoder.net/?Topic=7877 SoCoder; DegaussSpinal misses that special button that caused utter chaos in your monitor for all of about half a second.Modern displays don't need to do that kind of thing, but wouldn't it be cool to emulate it, somehow? Send your thoughts as to how you might achieve it. .. I think we're going to need something other than Blitz, for this one. socoder.net/?Topic=7882 ; Pakz' Pixels(Pakzels?)Pakz posts some lovely little alien creatures. The first pixels since his unexpected break. socoder.net/?Blogs=75275 He then also posts some isometric pixelart buildings. Cool! socoder.net/?Blogs=75303 ; Current CakeSteve makes a lovely little electrical pancake. Looks more like a Liquorice Catherine Wheel, to me!Mmmm, swirly! socoder.net/?Topic=7880 SoWordy; NonmanThis week's SoCoder Word of the Week is Nonman, which is apparently a word for monsters, creatures, and other things that are none-human..What an odd word, but definitely ripe for a game or two. Are you up for the challenge? socoder.net/?Topic=7881 SoStayIndoors; Corona UpdateSteve loses a close friend, and the UK government loses its god damned frickin' mind.What seemed like a decent speech, about taking things gently, being careful, and not going absolutely batshit insane, has of course lead to batshit insanity, as millions rush on buses in a desperate attempt to get back to work. It's all kicking off, in the land of the virus. Stay in the house if you can. Stay in touch however you can. Let's get through this. Ugh... socoder.net/?GotoPost=75259 RIP : Roy Horn : Siegfried and Roy RIP : Little Richard - Tutti Frutti RIP : Jerry Stiller - Serenity Now socoder.net/?GotoPost=75277 SoHungry; Opal FruitsMars promised this as a Post-Brexit thing, and apparently they're out there as a limited edition thing.. Somewhere..If you're out there, too, maybe you might spot them. They have them on Amazon, but they're insanely over priced. socoder.net/?Topic=7879 ; Bolero DrinksJay buys some soft-drink mixes.Gawd, these threads, lately.. Post stuff, guys..
