     ; Hello all
          Everyone's headed back to their respective schools,
          colleges and universities within the past couple of
          weeks. The result is a huge lack of activity on the
          socoder forum.
          Boo!
          Nasty schools, taking all my members away!!

          Don't worry, I'm sure thing's will pick up once
          everyone's settled into their new timetables.

     ; The odd creatures of New Guinea
          A tiny little parrot has been found in New Guinea.
          Is it coder related? No, but it's SOO Cuuuuute!!!
     socoder.net/?topic=1697
     
     ; Dev-c++ issues.
          A new member (woot!) posted about his issues with
          his compiler, and how it doesn't necessarily line up
          with what his book is telling him, even though
          logically it probably should... Afr0...
          It's easier to work out the problem when everyone's
          working from the same setup.
     socoder.net/?topic=1696
     
     ; What aren't you doing?
          Since everyone's back to a more normal busy routine,
          there's bound to be things that they're not getting
          around to anymore.
          List the things you wish you were doing!!

Repeat : Until GameOver

     ; Y-Box (Jayenkai)
          Not a very good game, this week, but a fun little
          puzzle game, none-the-less.
          Roll the dice, then line them up to get your scores.
          That's pretty much the whole game, right there.

     ; D'oh (Cower)
          An Indian newspaper accidentally prints a The Onion
          news report, believing it to be real.
          tee-hee
     socoder.net/?link=20256
     
     ; Lego, Better (Jayenkai)
          A more realistic set of lego, built to look like
          classic arcade games, all moving about in a nice
          chunky realistic stop-motion manner.
     socoder.net/?link=20283

     ; Awesome?! (Afr0)
          What Engadget would call "Crapgadget"
          Afr0's rounded up a pile of rubbish devices, all in
          one nice neat link post.
          What's the best/worst!? You decide.

     ; Small Space Project (Blanko1324)
          Blanko's making a Trek inspired space sim.
          Fly around like Captain Kirk, and then carry on
          flying around like Captain Kirk.
          Woot!

     ; Not getting picked (Shererererererererererererererror)
          Instinct failed to get picked for his University's
          Programming Team. A challenging set of questions
          resulted in him coming 25th out of about 80.
          A shame, but knowing you're a better coder than
          two thirds of the people who entered should keep
          his spirits up.
          Now get out there, and beat that Team at every damn
          competition you can find

     ; Afr0's odd blog post. (Afr0)
          I don't get this post.

     ; Jay's Great Big List of Games (Jayenkai)
          Jay's finally got around to making a huge archive
          with all of his games in it.
          It's about blinkin' time!
          As of writing, the archive goes back to 2007, and
          there's a whole load more to add.
