; Hello World


I'm typing this on a keyboard!!!
Today, I bought the Pokemon Typing Adventure game for Nintendo DS. Although I have no intention to actually play the actual game, for £10 it also comes complete with a little Bluetooth Keyboard, which can happily connect to any Bluetooth compatible device.
Hooked it up nice and easily to iOS, and now have a "Proper" keyboard, with which I can type the newsletter.
Hurrah!
Currently less than £10 on Amazon.
Also, about £5 from Argos, assuming that A) They're in stock, B) You're nearby.. because they refuse to deliver the damned thing..
grrr...

Still, nice to have keys alongside my iPad. This oughta make typing much more pleasurable! (And no fucking Autocorrect!!!)

; Advertising

Spinal wants a jukebox type thing, which can intersperse adverts or other "bit" pieces (jingles and such) inbetween the musical content.
Is there a ready made tool for this, or is it a DIY project?

In just a couple of weeks, the UK tax laws will change.
If you sell digital content online, eg games, you're going to be bombarded by a fuckton of stupid new tax crap.
If you're selling under Steam, Apple or something of that sort, you'll be somewhat protected by the company in question.
If, however, you're selling yourself or under none-managed sales techniques (OUYA, itch.io) the tax crap falls into your hands.
It's all utter bollocks, and will ultimately screw 98% of Indie Devs.
