It snowed for about an hour, yesterday, but then it rained for the rest of the day, and washed away all the lovely snow. Awww.
Yes, it's early Friday morning, I've forgotten to write half the newsletter, and I'm now rambling away, typing sheer nonsense, in a desperate attempt to pad it out a bit.
Will I manage to make the newsletter look full?
Will anyone notice that it's full of random spur-of-the-moment crap?
Hell no! It looks exactly the same as it always does!
Coming up
Star Wars
Complicated Forms
Art
And Penis Babies
I've always been a Trekkie, and have recently become a "Gater?" but, other than the regular "OOooooh, Darth Vader!" childhood stuff, I was never really into Star Wars.
This year, I got the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, and am being suitably baffled as I struggle to recognise any of its contents.
Join me, in my quest, as I look at Lego and go "hmmm.. WTF is that!?" socoder.net/?topic=3068
; Nokia Lumia 920
JL235 has decided to "join the dark side" and get a Windows Phone. This is one of very few Star Wars references that I know, so thought I'd get it out of the way early on. I apologise if these aren't the words you are looking for. socoder.net/?topic=3082
; Phone Goes Cheap Cheap!
As a bunch of jobless indie coders, we're all struggling to survive day by day, but we're damned if we're doing it without a working mobile! What's the cheapest tariff, nowadays? socoder.net/?topic=3078
; Replicating a Piece of Paper
Having completed an onscreen form, Andy_A would then like the user to be able to scrawl their signature into an area provided.
What's the best way to do that, then? socoder.net/?topic=3075
Meanwhile, WarOffice pops up with a museum that's trying to add a collection of games to its collection.
"Evening, found this while browsing on my new nexus 7." he says, gloating about his awesome new gadget.

; Winulator
A Windows emulator running on Android, to run old Windows games!?
WarOffice says "going to keep my eye on it" blog.winulator.com/
PMC user SD has decided to make a forum based on PMC, because he's unhappy with PMCs forum!
Do you like PMCs forum?
There's always Socoder!! bit.ly/11PNO5N
; Slowly but Surely
Krakatomato is at least honest when he suggests his latest PMC attempt is a teensy bit slow, but damn, it's one hell of an attempt!
Having ported Notch's Minecraft 4k code over to PMC, you can even run the thing on an iPad!
It's slow as buggery, but it does at least run.
Kickass!
