We had a long & productive day 2 session judging IOCCC28 (we are C programmers so we start counting days at 0 🤓). We've more days of judging to go.

For our IOCCC patrons patreon.com/IOCCC we've been uploading short videos (around 2 minutes) about what is going on "behind the scenes".

When the winners have been selected, we will host a live reveal on the Our Favorite Universe YouTube channel youtube.com/@OurFavoriteUniver & post src at the show's end.

You're going to enjoy the winning entries!

If I'm going to be totally honest: implementing anything in #curl is about fourteen times easier and more fun than the thread- and object-spaghetti that is #Firefox code... But don't tell anyone I said this.

In 1989 we participated in a "copy party" in Eskilstuna Sweden and our demo group Horizon won the demo competition. Triad came on second place.

This photo contains members of Horizon and Triad present at that party.

On Fri we had the (yearly) curry night of ex- #DMADesign computer games people. First time I was able to turn up in ages. Thirty years since we made games, and some of us still do! This is where Lemmings, GTA and Hired Guns came from.
