     ; No More Super Show
          RIP, Captain Lou Albano, the wrestler who once
          played Mario before Bob Hoskins completely destroyed
          the role.

     ; Loving the Code!
          What keeps you coding? Is it the feeling of
          accomplishment, the desire to do something
          functional, or the withdrawls when you aren't doing
          any coding?
     socoder.net/?topic=1736

     ; Redo From Start
          If something works, why would you break it?
          Do you recode something just to make it neater, or
          do you try to make your program run a little faster?

     ; Munky's Block (Jayenkai)
          A previous release of Munky Blocks gave us a Munky
          trying to collect a batch of Blocks. This time,
          he's all alone, trying to save himself from a bunch
          of crazy mazes with only a single block to help him.

     ; Planetoids (JL235)
          A space based puzzle/action game where you must
          guide the flying ships towards the space-station.
          If they fly into the sun (The yellow one's the sun)
          they will die, and the hundreds of people aboard the
          ships will be murdered in a horrible defenceless
          example of over heating.
          Don't worry!
          I'm sure the nearby aliens will find a quick way to
          cool them down.

     ; Give Them Net (HoboBen)
          Finland have decided that every single person in the
          country should have access to the internet, and have
          declared that there should be a 1Mbps connection
          available to all.
          Kewlykewly!!
     socoder.net/?link=20676

     ; Parallelolinks (JL235)
          A batch of links, all about the pros and cons of
          trying to make something work on parallel processors
          and dual cores, and all of that.
     socoder.net/?blogs=20678
     
     ; Science vs ME (HoboBen)
          A batch of scientists might have found the cause of
          ME, which usually means they can figure out more
          about how to cure things. Fingers crossed!

Competition of the Week

     2Bees!
     It finally ended last night, although at the minute
     the website shows absolutely no clues that that's
     actually happened.
     
     If you're keeping track, the guys from Socoder that
     may or may not have entered are..
     JL235, Jayenkai and possibly Afr0 (not sure)
     
     I wonder how many more have entered?
