The Eagles took it to the limit WAY more than one more time.
So I’m working on updating my website, hoping I actually finish it this time. This is my 3rd attempt. I started off in .NET, then in node + express, and now in node + rendr.
I started this in 2010, and the first image shows my original design that’s carried over through the first two attempts. While it’s miles better than my 2002 ASP design (that we won’t even talk about), it always seemed a bit odd. It’s cramped, the colors are awkward, and the home-grown controls are too clunky.
Fast forward to today, the second image shows the latest version. For the first time, I’m integrating Bootstrap into my work, and it’s done wonders for my very limited design skills. After slightly altering the colors, I came up with this theme, which is more spacious, and has a GUI that so far makes sense.
This is still a long way from becoming reality, but now that I have time to work on stuff like this, it’s pretty exciting to see where this can go, especially when working on bleeding edge technology like node and rendr.

Is that... T-Pain?
Take a good hard look at the mother fucking float.
Did you know that Pavlov's hair was famously soft and silky?
It's because he conditioned it. :ablobcatlurk:
And when the groundhog saw its shadow, the people declared:
"FOUR MORE YEARS OF STRESS EATING!"
Boss: "We need to come up with a number of hours it will take to do this super big project."
Me: "Do you want that number written out, or can I use exponential form?"
🙃
I guess you CAN'T do it with True Value. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/business/true-value-bankruptcy
Former 2 time world champion DogPlayingTetris becomes the first player to ever rollover the level counter in NES Tetris, performing what's known in the community as "Rebirth". Final score: 29,486,164, 4216 lines, level 347 (256 + 91)... all huge world records. #tetris
Back row... Mother with screaming infant, 300 lb linebacker, and me. Or what's left of me. #airporthell
I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
I've never had as much fun on comms for a Tetris match as I did tonight with NinjaOfNinjas for the silver bracket semis and finals. What a show!
I'm not done! I'll be casting the later rounds of the silver bracket today at 6:30 PM Pacific at https://twitch.tv/classictetris3. Cya there!
I'll be live casting qualifiers today for CTWC at https://twitch.tv/classictetris2 at 1 PM Pacific and https://twitch.tv/classictetris3 at 3:30 PM Pacific. This year's CTWC is the craziest yet so don't miss it!
Just a note to everyone out there who still believes 2020 hasn't ended that today is Unquinquaginember 21st, 2020.
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
I certainly didn't have "Overload but with web3 features" on my 2024 bingo card. WTF did Revival Productions just do?

@solitha New rule: cat tax. For every pun you post or repost, you're now required to pay the tax of posting one cute cat video.
Today was a special day. I scored 1,016,221 points in classic NES Tetris, the first time I broke the 999,999 maxout barrier.
With that maxout, I became the oldest person to get their first ever maxout at 46 years 319 days.
After I scored that, I learned that today would have been 7-time Tetris world champion Jonas Neubauer's 43rd birthday.
I am FILLED with incredible emotion tonight.

"I'm Sorry, What?!" The biggest bailout in the history of Descent II! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLlTk7wa59A
“BART anime merch" are three words that I would not have expected to go together, but here we are. https://www.railgoods.com/bart/anime/
Does anyone else sing the chorus to "Cherish" by Kool & The Gang to themselves whenever they play or watch streams of Balatro? Or is that just me?
I'm fact that's what Lingo needs: a "phone" block. The clue is an incorrect autocorrected form of the answer. 🙃
It's like my phone knows I've been playing Lingo. I typed in "exited" and my phone was all:
⬜️ EXCITED ------

A comparison of the classic Tetris and Descent communities. Not a post I write lightly, either.
