Spastic Hamburger

As I mentioned elsewhere, PopOS was updated the other week with COSMIC and Wayland as the default. Things haven’t exactly been going swimmingly. There are a few bugs in the combination, such as screen flickering after the display gets blanked by the power settings. The fix is to log out and back in again. Additionally, mouse scrolling in the pager…[Read more]

I’m going to set common/dl_base.h aside for now as it’s hard to tell if the string macros are coming from Microsoft’s string library or the standard as they lack the leading underscore. I’ll take another look at them after I’ve gone through the rest of the files.

I’m working on contacting the xEdit folks for information. As with most of these projects, discussion has, unfortunately, moved almost exclusively to Discord. Would prefer a more public platform but I’ll copy the information here once I get it

Wonderful! If I ever get to New York, The Met is high on the list of places to visit. 🙂

We’ve had a few cases of flesh-eating bacteria here. Not many, admittedly, but enough to warrant some concern.

Had this come in the other day: https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/08/neurons_doom/

common/file/gen_find is written to be partially cross-platform. It does have _WIN32 checks for some of it but it still breaks on non-Windows platforms as the required typedef is itself in a check. I’ve made a note of the problem in the code.

FiM is a wonderful show! Been watching it from the start and this will be my third viewing. Definitely worth it! 🙂

And a lot of guest appearances, too! Weird Al even makes an appearance doing his polka act.

The Super Show is a blast! It’s so goofy that you can’t help but enjoy it 😀

And let’s not forget to do the…[Read more]

Unicode tracker item updated with more information courtesy of the OpenMW folks 🙂

Can’t get any more episodes of SpongeBob past season six. But that’s okay: I wasn’t really enjoying it anyways 😛

So I started watching Friendship is Magic again, along with the Super Mario Bros Super Show.

Nope. I stopped using GNOME when 3.x landed and bounced around a lot before settling on a sort of hybrid install that used bits and pieces from XFCE and standalone aspects. Cinnamon wasn’t bad but had quite a few bugs in it that made it impractical for daily use.

They also take community contributions so that definitely helps 🙂

Terminal…[Read more]

Excellent! Haven’t tried it yet myself but I do recommend installing a ground cover as the barren ground looks a bit bizarre otherwise 😛

We’ll get it figured out! It is weird that TCHAR is in winnt.h instead of something more sensible, though

Yeah, Unicode will be a tad hairy due to inconsistent support. I remember that with BOSS, it took a ton of trial and error to determine what was Unicode compliant but support has improved immensely since then. The existing code doesn’t use…[Read more]

PopOS 24.04 landed yesterday for everyone. Update went without a hitch but you need to redo all of the settings since it replaced GNOME with Cosmic. Not too difficult over here as I kept things simple with this in mind (it was supposed to be released last year). Got most of them but still have a few left 🙂

Quite nice, really. Pretty different…[Read more]

Great, thanks. Been forever since I had to worry about pointer arithmetic 😛

Probably should grab my old C textbook that’s on the bookcase as a refresher 🙂

SpongeBob’s splinter episode makes no sense! It was already canon that he could remove his arms and regrow them instantly without issue and does this several times throughout the series. So, instead of worrying about the splinter in his hand, just remove the limb!

Another note: the book UI is incomplete as it doesn’t set the book data. The Book class holds book data but nowhere in the code-base is the bookdata_t struct actually used. Looks like it’s an incomplete feature. We’ll probably want a separate tracker item to keep up with this stuff.

Any issues since or is OpenMW doing the trick?

So I’ve started using the slow-cooker to roast chicken. It works great! Either a whole chicken or chicken breasts with a bunch of various vegetables and seasonings mixed in. I just turn it to high and let it run for a few hours and presto!

Probably going to pick up some cake boxes soon to make it easier to transport them. They’ll be handy to have…[Read more]

Had to back out some of the compatibility changes regarding iscsym(). The function is supposed to take an integer/character but is being passed a character array instead. A few other uses just checked a single character so I left those in place. I’ve added notes in the code to investigate further to see what’s going on. There’s a good chance…[Read more]

It’s not that bad. It’s really no worse than what would be a PG-13 film here in the US. Unlike others of its ilk, there’s no nudity. Just sexual jokes and references.

Now, High School DxD is a lot worse than that. They actually censored the fourth season over here due to the content (other seasons are uncensored). That said, it’s a lot of fun but…[Read more]

I updated some tracker items with additional information regarding Unicode

Still working on getting the debug build fixed up.
