This is something new to me, been a long time since I was here. This image is a tribute to my deceased wife Carolyn and one of her favorite shirts she wore all of the time. The image is extremely similar and her shirt was tie-dyed. A soft glowing light surrounds the unicorn and cat, hinting at a spiritual presence. A few shimmering stars dot the sky, and one star slightly brighter than the rest. The unicorn has a faint heart shape around it—symbolizing love that never fades (Carolyn loved hearts). Forum code does not recognize the thumbnail code for forums generated by PostImage, so here is my image.

Not many people not this but Rainbows were invented by Professor Billiam Watterson in 1979 during a fishing expedition in the North Sea After sneezing on a fish it absorbed the energy contained within in into the form of multiple colours on it's skin, reflecting it into the sky and boom! He caught then oddly colourful sprat and named it Sarah in honour of his childhood sweetheart. Phil. (It tasted sour) Sweet Hearts are a succulent treat in Outer Mongolia where the fresh carcus of any animal will be feasted upon by the youngling, as is tradition in this area. However, should a youngling not perform the traditional consumption within the hour, the local Shamen shall hit them with a magical stick, forcing them to live life consuming only dust, sheeps hair and "swish mouth" Swish mouth is a popular soda beverage in Outer Mongolia, well known for it's bitter taste and long-lasting stench, giving dentists a greater source of income over the years. Now, again, not many people know this but Incisors are every Dentists favourite type of teeth to connect, due to the sharpened, chisel-like edges, they can be linked together to turn into beautiful necklaces sold on etsy for between five and ten dollars per piece. As with anything popular, knock-off products will be created and the thriving fake-tooth market has become a bane for many purchasers worldwide. I hope you've learned something here and that may well be that I must probably catch up on some sleep. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

We had a big clearout from the side of our house, this week, with garbage clearance guys taking away a ton of stuff that's built up since about April, with the old carpet, the old bifold interior doors, a collection of unused patio chairs, and more. It's freed up a nice amount of space out there, and with the rest of the garden looking nice and neat, Mum's happier that the side of the house is almost as nice looking. .. Though we still have a line-up of Wheelie Bins there. One of our previous neighbours (from the old house) once put a "lovely" bin shed out at the side of his house, which definitely looked better, but then we saw him having to struggle to throw rubbish in the bin as he had to constantly wheel the bins out of the bin-shed to throw things in the bins. Hmm.. So, lovely, and hides the bins away, but really not all that practical. Meanwhile, all my updates went reasonably well yesterday, so I guess it's back to coding, today. My game for this week will be in the Shoebox, where I think the month's AGameAWeek "Toggle" theme should help produce something worthwhile. I did consider something "A bit connect four, but with lights", but I only just did "Four in a Spin" back in December, so it's probably a bit "repeaty" to do that. *shrugs* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Got back up on the gym side of things, leg day on Monday and just now a general upper session, hopefully I'll be good to do a lil 5k tomorrow / Friday Looking into what parts I'll need to make some wearable tech as another project, should I decide not to go the android app way. A DFPlayer for easy mp3 output and user noise handling Adafruit Flora Other bits  The regular Web Coding gumpf at work, I should install android studio. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also! |

The last time I tried to use it, back in the early Shoebox Experiments days, it seemed to install just fine, but it also installed its own JavaSDK which conflicted with the JavaSDK I had installed from when I was doing OUYA games, and all hell broke loose with error message all over the damn place. This is one of the main reasons why I said I'd never go back to OUYA dev... because JavaSDKs are a right pain in the arse to manage. Might be better now, and if you haven't already got things like that installed, I'm sure it'll go without a hitch... ....!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

What the heck is an .avif file? Who's making more new image file formats.. good grief.

We used to use SDK man at work to switch between Java versions when I wrote Clojure for a living sdkman The biggest letdown about the OUYA for me is that the controller has large dead zones and blank spots in the analog sticks. Well that and that it's running a Fisher Price mobile phone OS rather than real Linux. Meaning you can't use normal fast tools that have been around for 30 years and standard libraries. I would say your best console to develop for is probably the Raspberry Pi. It's a real shame they've got the kids on Chromebooks and it never was really used to the extent it was designed for in education. I don't really like the thoughts of Google nor Apple hooking the kids early in elementary school. The stuff people use the Raspberry Pi for is sometimes kind of stupid as well. Things that could be done with a simple Arduino they're spinning up an entire operating system for. I guess it annoyed me a little bit more back when there were shortages. |

@Jay. .avif file has been a new standard for several years, one of the best compression ratios and supported by all major browsers (Chrome has supported it for like 5 years, IIRC), as well as supporting transparency, preserving details and less color bleeding. Also the reason I had to buy a Save As Image Type plugin for Safari and use one for other browsers, to save as PNG. So many major sites use avif nowadays.

Story... When I was little and lived with my grandparents, we would always go to Cherokee, North Carolina on vacation, and also go into Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a day or two. Back then, it always coincided with rainbow trout season. This was before the mid 70s and the trout were freshly caught from the local rivers and streams, no mushy farm raised garbage. My Granny liked rainbow trout and would often get it. We tried one restaurant one time, and they served the fish whole (with the head attached). As a little guy (around six), this was the first time I had seen a fish served whole. And I made some comments, like look at his eyes Granny, it looks like he is staring at you. Watch out, Granny look at those teeth, he might bite you when you are reaching for your roll. Kids stuff, and not meaning harm, but evidently it grossed out Granny and she would never order rainbow trout again, or any fish that was not a filet. Pic of a rainbow trout below, if you are not familiar with them. Beautiful fish.
