Snow for Windows 2021 (21 December 2021)

After 20 years: new Snow for Windows! It was ready before Xmas, but Microsoft makes a bloody mess of its developer registration and submission processes. So, no Snow for Windows this Christmas.

Christmas 2017 - lights

I like candles on the table. And I've looking rather keenly at the coloured through-and-through glass Kivi lights by Iittala, that are , unfortunately, also rather expensive. 18€ for the cheapest ones. But, this year NRC had a nice offer, that we (I) have fallen for, at 10€ per light. The red and green are nice, the clear one too, but the other three are a bit grey-ish. Hm. I had thought the blue one "rain:" would be that nice blue one, but when lighted it's grey as well. The real blue one is the turquoise of 18€, but unfortunately with 18€ postage and handling, so some other time, perhaps. And the yellow, the lavender, salmon and light blue, please. Perhaps if/when we win the Spanish "Gordo"?

iSnow

It's time again: a new Snow for Mac, aka iSnow Classic. The old one from 2012 doesn't work well on the latest macOS anymore. An update is almost ready. And it also works on multiple monitors at the same time. 

The first snow was in 1984, on the first Macintosh. So now we're 33 years later. (Xsnow is from 1993.)

UPDATE: the update is accepted.
