Spastic Hamburger

Watched The Atomic Submarine yesterday. Bit different from most flying saucer films as it takes place in the water. Pretty fun!

Also watched Lethal Target, which was an alien rip-off with a lot more sex. A lot more. By the time we hit the halfway point of the film, we had two sex scenes and a lesbian threesome while the rest of the cast was just…[Read more]

Common is done. Now I can start reviewing the main code. 🙂

Great, thanks. Will keep it in mind. Looks like GTK mostly handles that internally so it may go away when the switch is made:)

Found the path stuff: https://github.com/boss-developers/boss/commit/bee3deb160258054165908b7104815a783a69afd

Not sure if the version in the standard has the same behavior or if wide paths are needed but we’ll find…[Read more]

Pretty sure I was able to fix it using the standard features. I vaguely recall that I may have simply switched over to the wide string type (simply wstring compared to string) from the normal one but it’ll need verification. It would increase memory a tad since it has to allocate more storage per character but the effect should be negligible

Most…[Read more]

There’s a chance the program doesn’t work well with Unicode paths. I forget how I fixed it in BOSS but I’ll see if I can track things down if it turns out the paths have issues. This mostly affected languages that weren’t based on the Latin character set, so Russian and several Asian languages for example.

Okay, Glade’s replacement is called Cambalache. Currently, it appears to be *nix only but there are plans to get it working officially on Windows at some point.

I used to catch these films on Hulu back when it was free. They had a huge selection of old science fiction films. When they went paid, they removed almost all of them. Was very sad when that happened 🙁

Watched It Came From Beneath the Sea the other day and that was fun. Tubi has the colorized version of The Giant Gila Monster but those are no…[Read more]

That actually brings up a good question: is the issue referring to the tab key or a GUI tab? I can’t tell based on the description.

Sounds like it should be able to, unless the conditions listed are met. Sounds like a null pointer or similar is causing the issue with it assuming the data is there and crashes when it realizes there’s nothing to…[Read more]

More notes!

Taking a look at the issues, issue 3 may or may not be still relevant. It would need testing with the current UI library to make sure it wasn’t an old bug in Windows.

Issue 9 sounds like it’s an issue in the base CS as opposed to MWEdit so should probably be deleted from the issue list.

No idea what 7 would be referring to. That’s…[Read more]

Ah, yeah, that definitely does some odd stuff.

There was a group on Dark Creations trying to do that back when I was adminning there but I don’t know what became of the project. They never did post publicly but development seemed fairly active

Part of my trouble with it is that it’s taking me a bit to get my creativity back. I’m also out of…[Read more]

Having difficulty getting back into Minecraft. I’ll keep making new worlds until I figure it out again.

Yep! Seen many of them. Haven’t seen them in a while though so it’s probably time for a rewatch. 🙂

Have you seen the older episodes of the Price is Right? They were good, too! Nowadays, it’s a bit flashy compared to how it used to be and the hosts aren’t as good but can still be fun 🙂

They’re also still running Let’s Make a Deal! Found out a…[Read more]

Weird. Not everyone has to change the clocks so I can see that being very problematic

I’m kind of surprised that no one has fixed that with an OBSE plugin yet. There are plugins that fix most of the other quirks!

Got Minecraft reinstalled. Took me a few worlds to get the hang of it again but I now have basic shelter in a cave. Going to need to…[Read more]

Certainly! Can definitely have some fun with it. Feel free to get the discussion going! Been a bit focused on other things but can definitely reply and add thoughts 🙂

All good here. CloudFlare does sometimes block me from random sites, while others it gets caught in loops and won’t let me in even though it doesn’t block me. To be fair, it used…[Read more]

Great! Glad to hear that the heads are still compatible. Cuisinart does the same with their food processors: parts from fifty years ago often still work on the current models. Really like it when companies keep the standard instead of inventing a new one every few years like they do in the computer industry. 🙂

I use a Roomba but do have a…[Read more]

Still working on Common. I’ve got five more files left in Common to go through before I can fix the operator overloads and then I can move to the main code. Going slow now as I don’t seem to have the stamina I did ten years ago but it’s still going!

The trick I use for oregano is to plant it in a baby pool after punching holes in the bottom. It works like a charm! Granted, it still gets too cold in the winter even for herbs here so spring replanting is always a must if they’re outside 🙂

It’s doing well but the neighbors have started messing with the new ground cover, which is why it had to…[Read more]

That’s one of the ones I can’t get, sadly. Part of the franchise is only on HBO Max, part of it is available free, while the rest simply isn’t available. 🙁

Did try Get a Clue yesterday but it focuses too much on slapstick comedy and does away with the entire premise so I stopped watching after a single episode and after a look through the…[Read more]

It would have been fine if they had just ended it before the last chapter. It was already implied that the main story was over and the conflict resolved. At least until a couple pages in to the final chapter.

A lot of my thinking of Walrus was actually inspired by Vault-Tec but without Vault-Tec’s other issues…. 😛

Yeah, Google has been…[Read more]

Yeah, only about half of the franchise seems to be available. All of it used to be shown as reruns on broadcast TV but broadcast TV hasn’t shown them in two decades 🙁

What’s new is also highly self-referential: they make jokes about the cliches all the time. It also confirmed that Pup is canon and takes place in the mainline franchise and even…[Read more]
