; Hello World

Rather late in the day writing this week's newsletter.  Sorry.
Time's run away from me.
I'd mention all the bedroom stuff I've been doing, but that gets a mention later on, so stay tuned for that!!  (Oooh, a teaser!!)
Kinda knackered, right now, if I'm honest.

The newsletter will do as it is.
Hit Compile, then Copy&Paste
Let's go!!

; Bad Tutorial
Jay's absolutely lost the art of teaching, and this "tutorial" for swirly enemy movement patterns certainly shows it.
Jay was hoping to start an entire series of things like this, but given how bloody awful the formatting on this single blog post is, he's had to rethink the entire thing.
Maybe he should do those new-fangled video tutorials like all the cool kids do...?
But who wants to hear Jay's god-awful Bolton accent?!  Not even Jay could cope with that!

; Jay's Bedoom
On a much smaller scale, Jay continues to attempt to rearrange a decade's worth of unmoved crap, whilst building up a bit of Ikea Flatpack stuff.

; SyntaxBomb News
Last week Qube struggled with .. everything, and temporarily closed down the site.  This week it's back, and rather than having to deal with everything on his own, Qube has asked a couple of other forum members to become moderators on the site.
Hopefully they can help lighten the load enough that he can take some much needed time to sort out all the other IRL crap that's going on, right now.
If you're a registered member, be sure to send him some *distant ascii hugs*
