This is why you should never eat at your desk - especially if you are a messy eater.

Never. In that office, there were strict EHS (must be Envi Health Safety, from what i remember) rules not to eat anything in the office area. No eatables to be consumed in office area. In spite of that, the mouse came.

Half a century ago, a customer of ours rang up to complain that his line printer kept blowing mains fuses at switchon. He'd gone through a box of 10....
Se we send a service guy out to have a look. Took the covers off, one very dead and somewhat charred mouse across the contacts of the power switch.
Long before any of us had a mouse on the desk.

Perhaps if the one who found a dead moth in the circuitry and called it a 'bug', had found a charred mouse instead, we would now have completely different terminology for bug and mouse.

SVG was kicking my ass.
So great, I think - I'll incorporate TinyVG support - that's appropriate for embedded right?
It has converters for SVG to TinyVG.
I even notice the canonical SVG tiger head represented among its examples. So I'm thinking "this will work with basic SVG, no problem"
I spent a bunch of time coding the processing for these TinyVG files because the reference implementation is in Zig, which is no good for me.
Finally, I needed to test one, but I wanted to see the TinyVG text format (it mainly has a binary format, but has an equiv text representation which I was going to use to debug)
I grab the canonical tiger head SVG and feed it to the converter tool.
"Unsupported element 'defs'" - which is an element present in almost every SVG i've ever seen.
"Unsupported transform matrix(...)" really? if you don't support transforms, you don't support SVG. All SVGs have transforms in them.
"Unsupported transform translate(...)" again really? see above.
So basically I've implemented support for a dead end technology.
I'm upset that they not only released it on github, but provided a dedicated website, and specifications for it.
Way to waste people's time.
I should have checked first. I should have asked questions.
I submitted an issue on github. I was terse.

So TinyVG is vapourware.

... is very strange. But maybe something terrible happened, we don't know about.
Anyway, if the spammers realize this fact, then good night.
@Webmaster@codeproject.com can you please inform us/your community what happen?

No sorry, that is far away from a bridge. Anyone with any sense (spammer or not) can recognize the situation and take advantage of it.
