He's after my "website of the year" award, which I keep getting emails about saying I've been nominated!

To be fair, I've seen better on Ceefax... And Sibs isnt too grand either! hehehe

this mean ... no commercial intent.. no money.. no blitz research...

No intention of anything other then, well, just doing his thing... Fair play to him really, think he knows the glory days are long gone!

Back-slapping hate-club much?

Not so really James, just opinions!

I know you were close in some ways over the years with Mark, and heavily involved in a lot behind it, but don't take opinions personal... Blitz was a product, like many others, its was sold, to customers, now yes, there was no contract involved, no guns pointing at heads, but it was how he wrapped it all up that have got people... People did use it for bread and butter, I bought everything he ever brought out post Amiga, and, the way it went, it was a bit of a FU if I'm honest, and I never made anything commercial using it, with the language of that particular setup going to GLBasic, because believe it or not, Kitty Hello was and is indeed more approachable then Mark ever was.

So, yes, I do understand why you feel this is a bit of a "hate club" thing, but it isnt, its just a bunch of people, customers, who are discussing what it meant when Blitz was ultimately pulled away from under them, and as it seems, it all ended on bad terms between him, and his customers... Your his mate James, we arent marra, we are just his ex-customers... Its that simple, and I do hate to be that blunt, but... It's the way it is isnt!

So, dont take it personal matey, you neednt!

Mark generated some awesome coding tools, which still cut the old mustard.... On that positive note, thread lock? Not the shite green type, red or blue at the very least.


Have a good year peeps, and as ever, Happy coding😁😍

Blitz products are the reason I haven't needed a "real" job in 15 years.

I put all my faith in BlitzBasic, Blitz3D and BlitzMax, and honestly, made an absolute fuckton of cash from all three

congrats for that!
