It's been another mostly quiet week, at Socoder, but that's given me plenty of time to scour the interwebs for all manner of crazy Tubage and tweets..
This week's issue is, therefore, jam packed full of vids and Sillyness.
If you're looking for On Topic stuff, you're reading the wrong newsletter!!
Jayenkai decides to head back to DS Homebrew coding.
Could be a tricky adventure, but probably a fun one to watch, as Jay scratches his head about a language he's mostly forgotten how to use. socoder.net/?topic=3559
; The Past is History
AltaVista, one of the proper old fashioned Internet search engines, is coming to a close on Monday.
Quite why, I'm not sure. Surely a company as big as Yahoo can afford to keep a simple search engine up and running? Hmmm.. Whatever! These companies never do what you'd expect!

; Java Variables
Are you into Java? I'm not! As a language, it does it's job. But the end result, the slow speed of JIT runtimes, the horrible constant updating, and more..
I fell out with Java a long long time ago, and it's not done anything to make me give it a second look.
Orion Pax is giving it a whirl, though, and needs some advice on Variable methods.
Can you help? socoder.net/?topic=3557
Spinal's released his first ever Monkey game, and boy does it look luvly! He's managed to pull off a fantastic looking pseudo3D graphical style, which wouldn't look out of place in a retro scene demo!
Oh, and there's a game in there, too!! bit.ly/12G9Mop
; Journey's End
Although there's still one large mode that I could still add to SpikeDislike2 (Challenge Mode) I feel that, for the most-part, the journey is over.
I've stretched the concept beyond all reasonable logical extents, and it's pretty much gone as far as it will go.
I'm happy to say that SpikeDislike2 is feature complete.
The end of the road is nigh. t.co/So2wqd2EhH
An odd incident involving police officers, a speed detection gun, and a fast moving vehicle. socoder.net/?topic=3560
; RIP Mouseman
Doug Engelbart has passed away.
The original creator of the mouse died at the age of 88.
A nice healthy age. Well done, Mr Mouse! socoder.net/?topic=3564
; Angry Jay
Jay gets up in a foul mood, and starts ranting all over the Internet! socoder.net/?topic=3561
...pretty sure I've had this in the newsletter before, but it's a lovely 80s music video, and it deserves another play! youtu.be/usFFKNRB2z
; Art Time
Take a couple of minutes out of your busy schedule to admire some lovely artwork. youtu.be/VvF3-oVQbTI
; TV Pilot
From the days when TV Pilot really did mean "test version" comes this.. .. What in the fuckity fuck!? youtu.be/W9epyj7ei-o
; Reading is fun!!
Follow the trail, as a simple hunt for a remix of the previous show's theme leads instead to me stumbling across a Star Trek actor doing their own show about reading.. Never even knew this existed!! youtu.be/-FD1K8OvVCs
; Lovely Demo
A fantastic scene demo, made more awesome by the addition of a crowd! youtu.be/4BMH9K1UDK8
