Hello World

          An off-and-on week, at Socoder, this week. Things
          were looking quiet until about halfway through the
          week, and then all of a sudden things went
          keraaazeee, and all manner of posts cropped up!

          Ah, yeah. That's right.. It was 4th of July
          Weekend.

          Hope you all had a good one!

          In celebration of the US's independence from us
          nasty evil brits, I've liberated the two-sided
          in-site newsletter format, to something a little
          more.. um.. Mobile friendly

     In the Shoutbox..
          Latin text with Welsh letters, Panoramic Circular
          Trees, and the CSS Coke Can re-appears.

     In the Mudchat..
          Freezers,
          Onscreen Controllers,
          Important Things,
          and Haribo

Last Week

          The Worklogs aren't as popular as they once were.
          It's, yet again, become a topic of "things I've
          done" that nobody else is joining in with, much
          like that failure of a World Cup thing.
          Bah.

          I'll be getting rid of the stupid big football on
          Sunday, since the world cup finally buggers off.

          Perhaps it's time to get rid of the Worklogs, too?

          CodersRule has posted, but hasn't done anything

Hope the holiday was good, CR!
