Hello World
Those oddball Powerbars got a slight update, this
week.
If you want to know what's counted, and what you
can do to up your powerbar a bit, click into Your
Blog.
It shows one little box for everything that could
potentially count towards your score.
It's either red for not-counted, or green for
counted.
It's easy enough to figure out.
You can also click into other people's blogs, to
see how they're doing, too.
And remember, only the previous 12 weeks count
towards your score.
In the Shoutbox..
Mog "SoCoder: We no make game. Stealth: I am
disappoint."
In the Mudchat..
A slight change to the Mudchat this week, and it's
probably worth explaining what it all means.
If there's a conversation going on, the lights
under people's names will be lit up, green.
If it's all quiet, and there's nothing going on,
and people have left the mudchat open whilst
playing a game, or making their dinner, or .. god
forbid.. even coding, the light will be a kind of
horrible yucky lazy orange color.
If it's all lit up, get in and chat.
And if you've been sat there waiting long enough
for it to go orange, it's probably a good idea to
try and find something to do.
Things That Got Done

2 Things About Coding
JL235 says...
"It's a short blog post describing two things about
programming and software engineering. I agree with
all of the points and feel they describe ideas that
new programmers tend to disregard and work against
(especially the last point about getting to work,
make it elegent and then make it fast in that
order)."
