Socoder Newsletter; American Pi#257 - Friday 25th March, 2016https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Friday is a Good Friday Happy Easter. Or if you're not the religious type, Happy "Stuffing your face with so much chocolate, you inevitably make yourself sick" Weekend! All the local shops close up for the festivities, so Mum's been bulk buying insane amounts of milk and bread, just in case we starve to death in the interim. -=-=- Dabz isn't having fun, this Easter, what with his .. um.. operation. He's currently at home getting sick pay whilst he heals, but is unsure about what happens over Easter. Does he get Sick pay during holidays? Or does he get holiday pay during holidays when he's sick? Does he get ANYTHING?! https://socoder.net/?topic=5410 SoCoder; Fuck This Shit!GfK has a good rant about people and their opinions on gamedev.SoCoder isn't interested in profits, popularity or sales. At SoCoder we just make games, and that's good enough. The rest of the internet just don't get it!! https://socoder.net/?topic=5406 ; Controllers vs ArduinoSpinal's got himself a little Arduino, and is apparently using it, somehow, to get game controllers from one system to work on another.https://socoder.net/?topic=5391 ; Dabz's Gift to HimselfDabz, still stuck at home, bored, decides to splash out on a super mega expensive gift for himself.A whole new computer, capable of emulating hundreds of older systems, which he can hook up to his TV and play all his favourite games.

It has a growing "brain" so learns from all people, from all sources. .. And the internet is full of idiots, that instantly decided it'd be great to teach it to be an insulting hate-filled twat. Well done, Internet.. We had an opportunity to learn, here. But all we learned is that you're all idiots. https://socoder.net/?topic=5411 SoOffTopic; Countdown is KingChannel 4's longest lasting show continues to show that it's just as entertaining, today, than it was when Richard Whiteley first welcomed us to the channel.https://socoder.net/?topic=5408 ; ExerciseAnd when you're sitting on your arse doing nothing but watching Countdown all day, it's probably a good idea to get into some kind of health kick.https://socoder.net/?topic=5409 Tweetage; Happy Birthday TwitterTwitter is 10 years old, now.I remember back in April 2007 when I registered the SoCoder Twitter account, and added Twitter integration into the first version of the site's shoutbox. It'd gather tweets of SoCoder members that the SoCoder account was following, and post them onto the site's frontpage. DD complained, suggesting it was a pain having to go to some weird unknown website just to interact in a shoutbox. It lasted about 2 days before I stripped it out and started to code the actual Shoutbox. *tsk* Twitter.. Who needs it!? https://socoder.net/?topic=431&viewpost=5630#5630 https://youtu.be/RWHkhZA-Xq8 @EdmundGriffiths Mail Online Science https://twitter.com/EdmundGriffiths/status/710786522321166337/photo/1 @SylvainKalache CSS.
