Error'd: Voluntold

2 months 3 weeks ago

It is said (allegedly by the Scots) that confession heals the soul. But does it need to be strictly voluntary? The folks toiling away over at CodeSOD conscientiously change the names to protect the innocent but this side of the house is committed to curing the tortured souls of webdevs. Whether they like it or not. Sadly Sam's submission has been blinded, so the black black soul of xxxxxxxxxxte.com remains unfortunately undesmirched, but three others should be experiencing the sweet sweet healing light of day right about now. I sure hope they appreciate it.

More monkey business this week from Reinier B. who is hoping to check in on some distant cousins. "I'll make sure to accept email from {email address}, otherwise I won't be able to visit {zoo name}."

 

Alex A. is "trying to pay customs duty." It definitely can be.

 

"I know it's hard to recruit good developers," commiserates Sam B. , "but it's like they're not even trying." They sure are, as above.

 

Peter G. bemoans "Apparently this network power thingamajig, found on Aliexpress, is pain itself if the brand name on it is to be believed." Cicero wept.

 

Jan B. takes the perfecta, hitting not only this week's theme of flubstitutions but also a bounty of bodged null references to boot. "This is one of the hardest choices I've ever had in my life. I'm not sure if I'd prefer null or null as my location.detection.message.CZ." Go in peace.

The reviews appeared in Computer Entertainer, an early video game magazine that ran from 1982 to 1990. The archivists at the Foundation tracked down the magazine's entire run and have published it all online under a Creative Commons license.
