Newsletter for February 16th, 2009 - Codename "Forum Valentines"

blog clipart
Greetings and welcome to another edition of the newsletter.  With only 28 days, February has always seemed like a bit of a rip-off to me compared to the other months.  Let's just try to make the best of it by keeping busy.  If you're feeling like you need a bit of balance after Valentine's Day, I posted a link to a free mp3 album by one of my very favorite Singer/Songwriters, Edith Frost.  And If you have a significant other maybe you can let us know in the forum if you exchanged some special gifts?  If not, and you're feeling like you need some cheering up, don't miss the silly humour thread for a few good laughs (see section 3 below).

If you have young kids, you should check out a pair of programs made by dc members recently, designed to let the young ones pound away on the keyboard and amuse themselves.  One is called "Crazy Little Fingers", and was coded for our recent NANY programming challenge, and another is called "Teddy" and was coded in the last week or two as a programming experiment.  Crazy Little Fingers shows pictures of animals and objects matching the keys pressed; "Teddy" plays different drumkit sounds for each key.  Both make it easy for you to customize using your own photos and sounds.

And for forum regulars, I've been hard at work in the last two weeks working on new forum features; see section 3 below for more details.
