📓 Notes

I did a little code archaeology and managed to pull together the code for the last version of Dodge I wrote in XNA. It took a little time as I had to remove all the code I'd put in to release it on IndieCity. I've got it to a working state. Now I just want to tidy it up so it can stand on it's own again.

It's been fun looking at the old code, remembering all the different parts that went into it. I'm seeing how I could make it better. I didn't organise things very well back then. I have leaned a lot in the past 10-15 years, well you'd hope I have :-)

One of my work friends wrote a book and as it's a Christmas related one, so he's started promoting it for the silly season. Go have a look at his hard work >>> Gonk on the Plonk

📰 Blog posts

I made one post in reply to Juha's post about hobbies. Which he generously boosted on Mastodon and Ho-Boy did that cause a few people to visit the site. But more than that Björn referenced me in his post about wanting to get back into coding for fun.

When I got the book I was under the impression that it was all about football coming to the Disc, but the closer I get to the end I'm realising that's just the background story. The foreground one is way more interesting.

• Alien: Earth (2025) Series 1 Episodes 2 to 5
  With the last episode coming out on Wednesday we thought we'd better get on and watch it, one episode a night seems about right 🙂

  Watched some more episodes.

  Saw an ad for it on the goggle box, the Wife was up for it, so we binged the lot.

  I like looking at food and judging people.

I'm off to play with my code, Stay Lucky.
