Space City Pinball League Season 7 Playoffs: An unexpected twist

@MightyPork It is a lot different, if you're not in the corporate/business world then yeah it will be a bit off-putting. To be fair, though, those in the corporate world find all the cat videos and memes on Facebook to be a bit off-putting as well when they are trying to discuss serious business topics.

@Sir_Boops <sfx: loud burp>

@MightyPork Not the LinkedIn that I'm on. I get that you may not grok the "corporate" scene but LinkedIn is basically the business/corporate equivalent of Facebook. Or, if you prefer, Facebook in a suit.

@craigmaloney Why the hell does Microsoft need Github? Skype was doing fine owned by eBay, too...

Space City Pinball League Season 7 Week 8: Ending on a high note

@wxcafe What's your username there?

@lain I think they are still around, though Google doesn't put results from them as high as it used to. If you know what you're looking for, you can probably find it (unless they requested it not be archived, which way too many people did).

Space City Pinball League Season 7 Week 7: Oops, I did it again

@iliana Sounds like an interesting problem to try to solve in Forth, especially since I haven't done any coding lately. I'm not sure if this has a name for it, but I'm reminded of a trick the programmers who worked on a pinball game called Banzai Run did: they ran out of sound board memory, and needed an "and" so they made it the "an" out of "welcome race fans" and called it a day.

@ctrlaltdog I have picked a few games to be relatively good at just so I can show I'm not a slouch once you get me away from pinball. Honestly, though, the nice thing about pinball is you don't have to relearn the skills every time a new game comes out.

Still amazed at how well this season in pinball league has gone overall. I had been wondering for quite a while if I would ever qualify for the A division playoffs, and it looks like this season I finally did. The only downside is that the next two weeks before the playoffs are going to feel like they drag on a bit.

@msh @djsundog I still can't believe the people that made MS-DOS, in a flash of stupidity, decided to use backslashes instead of forward slashes for path separators, not even thinking we might still be stuck with them almost 40 years later.

@bunnyhero It's not just you, the headline is rather sloppily written.

@kibi this is really more hypertext (HTML) authoring than true "web design" but I can see how one would lump them together.
