#479 - News Obsession |
Weekly Newsletter; News Obsession#479 - Thursday 06th August, 2020groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Listening to "old" music from 2002 ; Hello WorldHow is it Thursday, already?! I've not done an ALChoon, yet. I need to do that. I've not felt very musical, this week, though. I did at least attempt a tune for the "GS2020" challenge, which is doing the rounds on Twitter. The Japanese-run challenge asks for "A song in 5 minutes", but every translator I can find is incorrectly making it out as if that means "made in 5 minutes". I know it's not ... But .. Well, if that's not a challenge, I don't know what is. twitter.com/Alodare/status/1289709357484011520 SoCoder; New BBCode ButtonsThe new BBCode functionality is now available, and everything but a huge selection of Emoji have been enabled on the site.The reason there's no huge selection of Emoji!?! Jay still hasn't drawn a thumbs up icon.... Lazy git. A loveheart and a few generic oldskool computers, but that's roughly all there is to see, right now. Come on, Jay, pull your artistic finger out. ... And/or thumb. socoder.net/?GotoPost=76127 ; How's Things?The How's Things thread takes an odd turn as Rychan has a fairly bad week.Wish him well, and send plenty of hugs. socoder.net/?GotoPost=76086 SoWordy; BackdateNobody cares about this feature, Jay..Let it die... Just, let it die.. socoder.net/?Topic=7953 SoStayIndoors; RIP : Mr MouseBill English, the creator of the Mouse, passed away this week.A tasteless joke would refer to the shape of his coffin, and how many buttons it'll have, but I'll behave myself and not do that. socoder.net/?Topic=7955 ; But Also..RIP : Wilford Brimley - Cocoon, The Thing, etc.RIP : Tony Morris - The guy off the Granada news RIP : Rupert Young - Twin Brother of Will Young socoder.net/?GotoPost=76104 SoGaming; Intellivision AmicoDesperate for a slice of the gaming pie, Intellivision hit back with a family friendly game playing console.But it won't launch until at least April 2021, and by that time both the PS5 and Xboxoboxoxoxobobobox x xXxXx xx xXX will have launched. Will there be a marketplace for yet another console? Or will it suffer the same fate as the OUYA? socoder.net/?GotoPost=76138 ; No Man's SanityJay is getting sucked into No Man's Sky in ways that are worryingly like his days stuck in the world of Frontier:Elite II.It's actually quite scary how obsessed he's getting. "I got a freighter today, and I want to play the game, but I've a SmileBASIC game to write, and a newsletter, too, and I just wanna play!!!!! Let Me Play!!!!" I've had to take the controller away from him. It's for his own sanity. .. That, and it needed charged. socoder.net/?GotoPost=76089 SoMuchMore; MP3 to MidiPakz has found a music converter that can guesstimate the approximation of the musical notes of an MP3.It works roughly as well as the free converter I had in Windows, roughly 20 years ago. It was a terrible conversion process, then, and it's just as awful now. Don't use this, expecting miracles, or indeed anything you could possibly listen to. But.. if you need estimations for notes, and can view the midi file in a Piano-Roll/Notation view, then this might help guide you on your way to reconstructing the original musical piece. Chords, in particular, can be plucked out from the chaos within. socoder.net/?Topic=7952 KiloTube; BAFTA SongTim Minchin's song for the BAFTAs.View on YouTube ; AnnouncementImportant informationyoutu.be/dpIkl2QnJeI ; Musical InterludeWith an Octopusyoutu.be/10hygsfQryU ; Remastered from the Pastyoutu.be/TaHlXlwFLvI; Obsessionyoutu.be/NgTQLAnCt_Q; Paper YahtzeeWhat does Yahtzee make of the new Paper Mario?youtu.be/Ld7hipYap1Y MegaTube; Kodak's Final FlurryView on YouTube ; Mystery Portsyoutu.be/ARbF8xz7NlEGigaTube; Its'a JangbricksJangbricks takes a look at the Mario LEGO setView on YouTube ; The American Dreamyoutu.be/NESqtSQGhhE; Rob Brydon vs Will FerrellA curious conversationyoutu.be/KW7zN6gdMB0 80s Cover CornerView on YouTube TVCover CornerView on YouTube VGRemix CornerView on YouTube ------------------- Load, Next List! |
