Ten Years and a week.
My, how time flies!!
I'd like to thank everyone who joined in with the various TEN topic, this week.
It's been fun hearing random stories and comments from all of you, especially some of your thoughts in the Survey topic.
As we continue on our quest to get old, it'll be nice to look back on the past week, once we're all older, greyer and balder, stuck in a nursing home telling the youngsters about how we used to be really great VideoGame developers, even if they've never heard of us.
Happy Birthday again, Socoder!
Hopefully it'll still be working enough to do all this again in 2026.

; Free Delphi
Delphi is currently "free", but quite how "free" it is, is yet to be seen.
Still, free things for making things.
Hurray!!

; Miyamoto at Apple
Apple did their usual "hey, look, new phone!" thing, but the entire event (IMO !) was completely overshadowed by Nintendo.
Not only did Niantic show off the Watch edition of Pokemon Go, but amazingly, Miyamoto took to the stage to talk about a brand new Super Mario Run game for iOS.
There were other things, like a new phone, the removal of the headphone jack, wireless EarPods and a new version of the watch.
But fuck that shit..
MARIO!!!!!

; This week
I've been working on a "mobile edition".
I've always hated the idea of mobile editions of websites, because they're never quite as good as the proper version.
This week, I've been making a shitty half-assed incomplete version of the site, just like every proper mobile edition should be.

; Replacing the Polls
Meanwhile, I've been wondering what to replace the polls with.
If you've any ideas, let me know.
I'm currently consider a "Doodle of the Day" thing.

Wow. 3 entries! That's the most entries in a week since April 2009!!
