#469 - Mr Newsman |
Weekly Newsletter; Mr Newsman#469 - Thursday 28th May, 2020groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Slowly going stir-crazy ; Hello WorldI'm up to week 4 of the AGameAWeek overhaul, and this week I scrapped damn near everything I'd done, and restarted it all over again.. Not an ideal situation, but my plan of "Less Boxes" ended up being a far more confusing, mangled mess of jumbled up content. Which is absolutely not what I'd planned. It's a delicate balance, creating a layout for a site with over a decade's worth of chaotic, eclectic content. And it doesn't help that I've not been consistent in my post types, tags and more, over the years. It's leading to some really frustrating issues, such as games showing up under the Music tab because I happened to add its soundtrack to the post, or daily pixelart clogging up the works because their posts are a third of the width of a normal post. And then there's the CSS... Ugh. Still, the nice new line-based icon style seems to be working well enough. Now I just need to see if I can make the boxes do something somewhat similar, without ending up back at that "Too boxey" scenario again. SoRychan; Flapping OnwardsRychan gives us a quick update on his NES Flap Happy game.A quick solder-tip, and everything's coming up roses! socoder.net/?GotoPost=75459 ; Remote ControlRychan's also been busying away with a Remote-Desktop style program, hoping to make his desktop accessible from his phone.socoder.net/?Topic=7896 SoWordy.. um.. I think my script broke, 'cos there isn't a Word of the Week, this week.. Maybe SoCoder's down with the virus, or something!?! SoStayIndoors; How Are You?I'm not sure how other people are managing, but my Mum's had a couple of teary sessions, this week.She's really not doing well with being confined to the house, and is desperate for days out, once again. She's started flicking through TKMaxx's website, and other such places, looking for random art/craft things that she can mock up, to keep herself occupied. What sorts of things have you been doing to keep your mind occupied? Or are you already back at work? How's things? socoder.net/?GotoPost=75454 ; QuarantineThe UK's finally decided that Quanrantine might be a good idea for people flying around the world.But is it too little, too late? socoder.net/?Topic=7893 ; RIP - Richard HerdYou probably know him from Seinfeld, but he was also Captain Galaxy/Ziggy in Quantum Leap, as well as a whole host of different parts over the years.socoder.net/?GotoPost=75450 SoOutside; GWBasicMicrosoft have released assembly source for GWBasic, from 1983!.. Not really sure what you could use that for, but there it is! socoder.net/?Topic=7890 ; GPD Win MaxGPD have created an 8-inch model of their GPD Win.Looks mighty tempting, but just how functional would it be, or would it be as much (or more) of a waste of money as the original GPD Win has been? socoder.net/?Topic=7894 SoMuchMore; What the GolfA new game on Switch, if you can pull yourself away from all the coding you're doing in SmileBASIC.It's a Golf game "with a difference". And I know you've heard that before, but this is... definitely a difference! socoder.net/?Topic=7892 ; Keyed InSpinal adds a keyboardView on YouTube KiloTube; Musical InterludeView on YouTube ; The Standyoutu.be/9ZxbUdU8bUY; Musical Interludeyoutu.be/rF--odP1X2UMegaTube; The Comeback KidHow Toys'r'Us are still aliveView on YouTube Cooking; BreadFull of bananasView on YouTube ; Rolls..With Cinnamon in 'emyoutu.be/2OMBH8_x9Zw GigaTube; Adam BuildWhat's Adam building this week?!View on YouTube ; RHLSTP-lockdownThe lockdown podcasts begin.youtu.be/IsnmXJJdPBM 50s Cover CornerView on YouTube youtu.be/c1NgeJS3OLs youtu.be/aYjQh4y2MrU ; And this one ends far too soonyoutu.be/q_RqcBXEiE8TVCover CornerView on YouTube youtu.be/z0-G1q7Rdzs youtu.be/6UEnVZ3j6UA VGRemix CornerView on YouTube youtu.be/7TwL2tMDedc youtu.be/GduRa8gMtkU youtu.be/JUPWjVJFNiU And a really old one!! youtu.be/GGuiZDXVJjg Lockdown Live; Crowded HouseView on YouTube ; Lancashire Hotpotsyoutu.be/rJwRl9WeJYA; War of the Worldsyoutu.be/WGe0nzXw-aU------------------- Load, Next List! |
