 		I'll offer a pre-meme anecdote from The Tao of Programming - Book 5 (Maintenance)

Thus spake the Master Programmer:
"Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained."


And one more - Book 4 (Coding)

Thus spake the Master Programmer:
"A well-written program is its own Heaven; a poorly-written program is its own Hell."

Teaching Tuesday

Can you teach us something that's somehow relevant to this week's theme? Maybe a link to something useful, or even writing up a small tutorial.

 		Something important to remember whilst doing website Maintenance.

When all your various websites are all clustered together into folders emanating from a single root, be sure which of those folders is open on BOTH sides of the FTP* proggy.
..
Yesterday, AGameAWeek.com was down for about 3 hours because I'd copied a marginally updated JSE root (index.html and all) over to the AGameAWeek root by mistake, and didn't notice for ages!
A player had to email me.
Silly Jay.

*It's 2025, and it's all SFTP and other things, but it'll be another 50 years before I stop calling it an FTP proggy.

Worklog Wednesday

What have you done this week? This needn't be relevant to this week's theme. Just let us know what you're up to.

 		Working on getting my code organized in my BlitzMax shmup game.
I'm keeping the various components pretty generic and reusable but I'm going to solidify the actual game logic into a singleton class next.

This should allow me to make different games pretty quickly without having to rewrite a lot of code.
I've not used any "final" classes so they can be extended or adapted around as necessary in the future.

I'm still kind of annoyed at how you can't extend a class across various files.
Same mistake Java made...

Throwback Thursday

Tell us a story of something old, that's somehow relevant to this week's theme. Maybe even include a picture?

 		Aaaah, the irony of being too busy doing things that you didn't have the chance to waffle about what you were busy doing during a Wednesday Worklog...

This week has been mostly preparing for August, whilst also ensuring everything's good to go for Advent, whilst also switching up my YouTube template a little bit for the next few months.

I'm also rebuilding my Switch/SmileBASIC framework from scratch, which is taking a bit longer than expected, but I'm going to try to build it with a single collection viewpoint, so I don't end up with 150 download codes at the end of the whole thing..
