After I de-listed the couple of remaining Android games I had on Google, I started receiving these emails.

So, what's the scam? Is it that it's easier to sell scammy apps if your developer account wasn't created very recently?

Was musing about a game character who is a warrior gnome. Although I’m thinking of making it a gnome vampire because “Gnosferatu” is a great name.

What’s a good name for an adventurer-warrior that starts with N? So I could do something stupidly alliterative like “Gnosferatu the Gnightmare Gnome”.

“Gned the Gnecromancer”

“Gnorbert the Gnosey”

“Gnestor the Gnotable”

Maybe I should just assign you a gnome-name when you start.

Most likely I'll keep thecodezone.com and civilgrrl.com just for email forwarding.

Looks like my Apple Developer account is about to expire, and I'm not re-subscribing. The bulk of the money I made from Apple last year was a class-action lawsuit settlement, so there doesn't seem to be much point.

Public Service Announcement - I am more prolific (and stupid) on dobbs.town if you wanna follow me there.

Basically I'm in a weird apocalyptic UFO cult that makes no damn sense. Which means it's true!

RIP Nik Wirth. Structured Programming was what turned me into a programmer after a couple of years hacking about with TRS-80 BASIC. Suddenly code flowed in a single direction and wasn't a tangle of routines to patch up whatever didn't work in the last round.

Dunno if it's one of his rules, but SP inspired one of my rules -- calling return() from anywhere other than the last line of your function is a stealth GOTO.

Also break; is a stealth GOTO, but that's kinda obvious.

Oh yay, I've earned a scintilla of #slack

After 14 years, my book publisher is going to stop snail-mailing me quarterly statements reminding me that my books didn't cover the advance and never will.

Now they're just gonna send me quarterly emails, which are far easier to ignore.

I am mildly annoyed that the #Godot executable changes names for every release on Windows, so every time you change versions, your shortcuts/aliases break.

Mac name = "Godot_mono"

WIndows name = "Godot_v4.2-beta6_mono_win64.exe"
