-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Happy Birthday!" #016 - August 14th 2009 groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Socoder Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all A week filled with Birthdays! Actually, there were only two.. Meh, whatever, felt busy enough, so folk went a bit nuts about it, and the shoutbox became Happy Birthday central! Happy Birthday, everyone! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Crossing the line Phoenix brings up the horrible nasty raping game and wonders exactly where the line is, between passable and extremely unnerving horrible nasty game. socoder.net/?topic=1661 ; Ghosts! A topic that's been off and on for the past week, Mog wants to know what's best to backup your entire hard drive. Personally, I prefer to just backup the important stuff, so you can access it from multiple systems, but some folk would rather keep their entire setup ready and raring to go. Which would you use? socoder.net/?topic=1658 ; BlitzCoder.com? Hmm.. what to do? When we got near to the date, I checked it, and it upped the purchased date to 2010. Then a few weeks later, it mysteriously got "unpurchased" hmmm... socoder.net/?topic=1665 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tikihead's been busy, this week! ; TikiCode! A fun little scripting engine to play around with, written in BlitzBasic. Write Pong! socoder.net/?showcase=19896 ; Sandbox Play with sand. Unlike usual ones, Tiki's added little gravity holes, too, for the sand to curl around, and it makes it all a lot more fun to play about with! socoder.net/?showcase=19919 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; One Big Bug (HoboBen/Hen/Ben/Whatever) Can you overwhelm everything on the planet using one little tiny bit of code?! Sure can!! socoder.net/?link=19888 ; Tim Langdell (Phoenix) Everyone's head about this idiot by now, but go have another read. Tim thinks he owns the work Edj!! (word mispelled on purpose, just incase) socoder.net/?link=19895 ; Facebook buys Friendfeed (Scherererererererererererer) Friendfeed started life as a realtime ajax based version of Twitter/Facebooks update thing. Since then, Facebook added all of it's features anyway, and as a result they figured they might as well go ahead and buy out Friendfeed. Unlike most webpurchases, this doesn't appear to have lit up an entire world of complaints! socoder.net/?link=19920 ; Microsoft Word stopped! (Cower) In another one of those extremely rare cases, people are actually siding with Microsoft for a change! i4i, a stupid company with a stupid name, think that they've invented the usage of certain words within XML files, or something silly to that effect. In which case, I should probably take this opportunity to tell the world that I've invented the look and style of this newsletter, and if anyone even dares to use semicolons as header bullet points within a weekly newsletter. I'LL SUE THEM!!!!!! socoder.net/?link=19931 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; RLE Compression (cthug) Is it useful, who can say. Encrypt your game's data internally with this possibly useful bit of code from cthug. I usually leave the data open, in the off chance that people might draw better versions, and submit them. Hey, it's happened once or twice! It could happen again!!! socoder.net/?article=19905 ; DSi4DS (Spinal, posts showcases to his blog) Spinal's recreated the look and feel of the DSi menu system within the confines of the DS. End result, play with a DS, looks like a DSi! Cool stuff. socoder.net/?blogs=19934 ; Hard Drive Woes (Mog, posts links to his blog) Mog's harddrive isn't big enough for all his music and videos (we won't say what type of videos..) so he's started to use WinDirStat to help unclog the messy bits, and even find those 200+ episode of DragonBall Z that he downloaded ages ago, but that are still sat in zip files in a corner of his D Drive. .. Or was that just me!? socoder.net/?blogs=19925 ; Duke Dead?! (Mog, posts links to his blog) Is Duke Dead?! Possible, but maybe not. There are signs around the net that they may very well still be secretly working on it. Who knows if they are, but whatever the case, it'll probably not show up until 2025 anyway! socoder.net/?blogs=19927 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For n=1 to 7 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Top 7 Pollers (last week's position) (x) 120 - Phoenix (5) 115 - shroom_monk (1) 100 - TazzMan47 (3) 095 - jprofitt (x) 095 - Nolan (x) 085 - 9572AD (2) 085 - cthug ; Last Week's Poll Results ---Who's Better? ------045% : Mario ------025% : Yoshi ------015% : Bowser (Koopa!) ------010% : Toad ------005% : Luigi ------000% : Goomba ------000% : Princess Peach ---Which is Better? ------085% : Weekends ------015% : Weekdays ---Which is usually busiest? ------073% : Weekdays ------026% : Weekends ---Which is Better, Musically? ------057% : Mario ------042% : Sonic ---...? ------057% : Forty ------042% : Fourty ---Which is Better? ------047% : Windows ------031% : Linux ------015% : Workbench ------005% : MacOS ------000% : Unix ------000% : GEM ---Which is Better? ------033% : KFC ------033% : Pizza Hut ------022% : Burger King ------011% : McDonalds -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Competition of the Week -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Vote erbbysam! Erbbysam took part in a competition all about being good and green and stuff. Using a computer that uses electric, which saps the life from the planet. But, you know, whatever! Go vote for his thing! socoder.net/?topic=1664 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Random Youtube Videos -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Creepy Youtube thing, this week. The only time I've even thought about Status Quo was when Spare was hosting his radio show, and I happened to notice them in the request list. Today, I opened up Youtube, and there's a batch of Status Quo videos, in the "Recommended for You" section! WTF! Youtube is reading my mind!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiwogDm4rzI www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUkKG8797gM ------------------- Load, Next List |
