SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Bloody hell I just thought James Blunt was not my kinda music - but love his Twitter witty comebacks to the trolls lol. I've for the first time seen his video for 'Monsters' where he thought his Dad was near death. It hit a chord with me.

Just checking Qube 

@Steve Elliott - It's not new, I added it for last years Christmas logo 

We have 100 Bots tonight?

lol is that bauble in Bomb new?

SytaxBomb is feeling Christmasy this morning 

Just think a moment what is in media these days ... and what is required to train them - this should answer your question about "guests".

I have no idea what a spam bot is or the use for it I suppouse i could google?

@Baggy That's because they are all spam bots trying to break in.

There are 1,873 Guest's? Yet only 3 users. I always find that strange. If people find the site that interesting and useful why not become a member? Your new worklog is awesome!

Something strange is going on here in SyntaxBomb. Yesterday I had 200 views (as expected) on my new WorkLog. 6 hours later it has changed to >3500.

If you are around here (Sg/Malaysia/Borneo), ill invite ya to join me and my buddies in the jungle (real tribe). They will 'fix' you my friend, in no time. All this so called 'modern' commodities, very quickly turn to be a massive burden in life. These jungle folks are so happy all the time, its really hard to explain to 'modern' people but i strongly believe that most of humans have lost their way..

You can always PM me or use my Email address if you wish to talk. Kind Regards Baggey

I'm pretty much done with computers but frequently I'm wishing I could actually talk to you guys

Enjoy!

 

Ive got me Retro Spectrum! The Replay and wind idea is brilliant!

@Baggey, I've posted a topic about the new Ant Attack that was revealed at Crash.

I here that some of Retro Games the Spectrum have been shipped out in test mode So you have to down load a fix to bypass it.

I loved Ant Attack. I wonder if it will be a direct rewrite or added levels? Apparently Sandy White did the origonal on scrap paper

Interesting. Apparently the classic speccy game 'Ant Attack' will be coming to the Spectrum Next   

 

The Spectrums for me 

Wife's Getting me RETRO ZX Spectrum from SMYTHS. Thats probably going tobe a dress and shoes as well!

Looks like Bluesky is taking off and X/Twitter is failing.

Yeah in the warm with a few drinks. Although Winter Wonderland can be a nice trip out.

Nice spread (And still going) of snow here in the North East of Angleterre. To be fair, the only time I like snow is when I'm in the house, with the heating on, and not a single plan to go anywhere! hehehe

@STOS, Or does that make me yours! 

@Baggey, Oh no that's all I need.  More mental health baggage!

I Guess it does.

@Baggey You fix sir! Does this make me an enabler?

@Baggey - I rarely post for the last few years so it's pretty amazing I'm still on the leaderboard to the right of screen...you will catch me eventually unless someone else does first!

can you post link here?  https://www.syntaxbomb.com/index.php

@STOS Ive not had my Demo fix? 

..quietly, under misty touch of the night...yes..

I wonder if midimaster ever look at this posts

@Baggey ..you are untold legend dude.. 

YAY!   

Matty im in persuit 

I did it 

Yeah! Go wild! Im about to hit 1000 posts

Yes! Because the Shoutbox gets deleted after a while. 

Is it ok to act foolish here? Because Im not a serious guy 

@Naughty Alien it's too rural,I've seen people do it but it's narrow speedy road and I can't bike anywhere but the church down the road otherwise anywhere else is too far

I'm sorry everyone I'm working to have a healthy good life. It's taken a nosedive but I'm working now.

yaaaa.. i didnt notice this chat thingy here.. im gonna use it alot..  i mean if its ok

Yea... but i hold my hopes

@Hardcoal ..maybe 'guests' are spam bots or something like that

how come so many guests but they dont register . how can you resist the power of blitzmax

I live in Lincs, but my folks are in Scotland. I love stopping off at lindisfarne for a quick bike ride - kicks the arse out of the other couple of service station stops that are required 

@Naughty Alien When I was at the Nissan plant, working on the smoke vents on the top of the shops, me and a fella (Who worked at the plant for years) used to get attacked by the gulls when their bairns were hatched and nesting... Anyway, he put up with it for years, the funniest thing is though, when he was say, in Sunderland city centre, they used to spot him and go for him, noone else, just dived bombed the life out of him! lol Really funny and actually amazing at the same time!

Ive been here for a few years now and i see it getting busier and busier. Eveybody seem to have the same interest! 

I want more people to be here like 400,000

 

@Steve Elliott  yes, thats exactly what i wanted to expand dialogue to..i often walk outside and spend some time nearby seaside..eventually, by doing so, i turned out to be a good buddy with local gang of crows..they are literally standing on my hand and eating from my other hand, while i talk to them..its hard to explain how relieving is that..then some passing by woman, had to come and say hi to me, to explain to me how 'romantic' is that, without realizing that she busted my whole crow bonding joy..now i meet my winged buddies slightly off that same place..so, you never know whats out there..highly recommended, except this woman part..

I Costal Walk and wild swim. Very good for the mind. 

The Apple M4 Pro and M4 Max are really impressive! At last Apple pushing tech.

I can see where NA is going with this. I was incredibly stressed with life and work. One day I said sod it I'm getting out of the house, away from my computer, getting out and about. For me I jumped on a train and visited my capital city, walking around and finding new places I had never seen before. Fresh air, exercise so I felt so much better. A bike would help is there are mobility issues.

@William do you have a bicycle or similar thing ?

I'm too obscene

I couldn't create my own social site for folks like me it's too obscene

I did read the small print for orders at the weekend. They were telling porkies. The chair turned up at half 7 in the morning. And sofar I'm happy with it. It's a  much better build than the crap they palm off to punters at argos.

Did you not read the small print? Mate hope you get your chair soon

Decided to order a new e executive desk chair from staples. Talk about a bloody shambles. I'm thinking that their next day delivery must be sometime next year.

That I could. But to spend nearly £300 on a half decent MIG that I may only ever use the once is not what I would call a wise financial investment. I can hire MIG for around £50 a day to fix it. Or spent the £300 on a reasonably good executive office chair that I will be sitting on over a 10 year period.  That's how long the last executive chair I had lasted,

Yeah but you could weld other things  When i Bought a Mig i wish id got a Tig.

It's fixable. It's the plate that the gas lift fits to. It will just be a pain to dismantle. I'll have to use a mates arc welder. I could just go and buy a new MIG setup. But the number of times I've used a MIG over the last 20 years. It buying a new MIG set would work out about the same a a decent leather office chair.

It happens to us all it's not just you. I ordered a box of 2 x Bulbs the other day. Guess what It arrived on time just to find the box had been opened and 1 x lamp in it. If the metals hollow it's easily fixable with a long bolt and chemical resin! That's what i did to my Chinewah chairs. I hope they don't break

When it rains it pours. Spent all day in waiting for a new fridge freezer, only having to send it back because it was damaged in transit. And now the computer desk chair's metal boss has snapped. Teach me to buy that kind of stuff from Argos. And I cannot fix it as I've no gas or wire for the MIG, which may not work due to it's age.

Mr Richard T. Russell. The man behind BBC Basic. https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/index.html

Welcome Richard T Russell 

Downloading now... 

Planet Coaster 2 is out on Steam tomorrow. 

Well you've got the 8/16 bit in the general section. But how would you add a language section with the number assembly and dialects.

Not a bad idea lol...Although I think the site is pretty retro-centric anyway. 

I'd Like to see a Dedicated RETRO Section of the site 

lol, thought so. Yes the M4 chip made me push the button and upgrade my laptop. I've ordered the Macbook Pro M4 Max with 64Gb RAM

Yes, SyntaxBomb is all mine, muhahahaha.

@Steve Elliott I'm eyeing up the M4 Pro Mac Mini with 64GB RAM. The M4 chip is certainly shaping up to be a beast and with Thunderbolt 5 I can look into dual 4K 240hz OLED monitors \o/ lol

I really hate Visual Studio Code. You spend more time going through the documentation and pissing about setting thing up than you do actual programming.

Pretty sure only Qube owns SB.

Qube lol? Apple M4 Systems are out Qube, thoughts?

Who owns Syntax bomb?

Completely ruins the fun. And I don't have that anymore

I swear this town just doesn't have good connection reaching other places or something because no matter how good you are makes no difference when everybody's an aimbot

That's what I'm talking about! I played a gungame server on fistful of frags that's local or Seattle based and I actually stood half a chance of winning equal player skill. Not the demoralizing no matter how much effort you die sort of thing it usually is

The new mac mini looks tiny, but powerful. The base model is cheap (by Apple standards)

For now I'm on here with you people I like to think we're like minded being from some of the same era

I have the most epic remixes in my head but I can't invest my life Into that there's just not enough time

The 90s may be long gone but songs like halcyon on and on I still listen to and encapsulating what that spirit was about and songs like above and beyond counting down the days. Except the guy who sung bass master Dota was kinda the ugly end of it. Idk I always regret the things I say thinking they misrepresent me or it's not a good thing

lost time

i want to play I'm sitting here. would need to find something new. strictly laptop and me. i dont remember who that user is, history.

I remember something about a BRL forum member that got mentioned in the UK news papers, who ended up getting sectioned, or something of that nature. Not sure if that was puki.

The last memory I have of Puki was when he proclaimed to the world he was self-touching to the box art of the 8-bit game Barbarian!!! I mean... That sort of comment sticks in the mind you know!

@Naughty Alien Darn I wouldn't even know where to start. I only recall the last post on ultraengine.com

Puki was very active dude on old Blitz3D sire, until it was tanked. Quite funny guy with rather unique humor and writing style, and veerry entertaining to watch his posts, so i was wondering, what happened to him. I assume hes british so i thought guys from over there should know what is situation with him.

synchronicity? well, i talked to pakz idk about puki or maybe it was puki on the blitzcoder site (the oldschool one) in 2022? well, i think it was pakz i talked to. @Naughty Alien

..anyone knows whats going with Puki ? For no reason, he just 'landed' on to my mind..quite funny dude back then..

I haven't been able to program because life takes priority and .. whatever it is. I still dig it but obviously I'm not doing it like being forced offline. Maybe it will never amount to anything. I have a feeling this is one of those Satoshi things I need to figure put something might be big heha

I think I'm bullied even today
