Aw, man... I have to do another Newsletter?!
Last week my Physio gave me some leg/waist exercises to do in bed, and I tend to do them last thing before I fall asleep. It's a decent schedule I've got going at the minute. Go to bed, have a nap, wake up, watch Stargate, watch Castle, Leg exercises, back to sleep.
Cumfy, lazy, and altogether useless.
Woot!
Thing is, it's so much of a schedule, that for the past two weeks I've not really been doing my regular "And keep padding out the Newsletter" thing, so each Friday morning I've found myself waking up to a blank canvas.
D'oh!
I need to somehow squeeze this stuff inbetween Stargate and Castle, methinks!
I know what'll pad it out!
Here.. Have some random letters and numbers!
I can't really recommend them very well, given this is my first ever laptop! But it works, and it does it's job, and I've no complaints. ..
well, except maybe the slow HDD.. But I can cope.

; Thwack!
Kuron decided to be a helpful neighbour, this week, and helped his fellow snowbound car users to dig their vehicles out of the huge piles of snow that are currently lining his street.
.. Then he slipped, fell, and whacked his head on the ground. D'oh! socoder.net/?blogs=38766 socoder.net/?blogs=38804
; So Full of Breakages
We had a bad day, the other day, as SoCoder went all glitchy and broken. At first I was worried it might've been a hacking attempt, but it seems most of GoDaddy went screwy at the same time, so .. good to know it wasn't my fault
Still, it's a nice reminder to us all to perform a nice big backup every now and then, and be sure to change your passwords and keep them seperate. socoder.net/?topic=3875
Cower's created a nice Theme Creation Doohickey, which can be used on any text editor which uses tmTheme format for it's color schemes.
Lets you pick and choose from fonts, styles, colours and more.
Looks incredibly complex! socoder.net/?showcase=38792
; Curious Release
I wrote Space Popcorn a few weeks ago, and found myself regularly playing it, on my iPad, through the GameJolt hosted HTML5 edition.
Figured I might as well compile it for my iPad, and wound up playing it even more often, at which point I figured "What the heck" and submitted it to Apple.
I honestly don't think the game will sell. It's not much of a game, and it's not exactly easy to look at, but... I dunno, some people might like it, right!? itunes.apple.com/GB/app/id821091115?mt=8
A Massive earthquake has shaken a large section of the UK.
HoboBen tells us how scary it was! socoder.net/?topic=3880
; Don't Tell Me..
General rule of thumb.. If you've got a KickStarter going, don't bloody well tell me about it.
These guys did. socoder.net/?topic=3879
; Talking
The guys over at OUYAForum want me to do an interview. Unfortunately, they want to do it via Skype, so there's no "Get out of Talking Free" card available in this game.
Bugger.
Will my nervousness overcome my ability to speak?
Will it be a horror show gone wrong!?!
Guess there's only one way to find out! Stay tuned, folks, it's all happening some time on Sunday... *shudder* socoder.net/?topic=3878
