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]

Here’s the trailer:

After watching the complete set one gets awarded the bronie tag. Will consider it! 🙂
If one can’t feel super after watching an episode of Super Mario Bros Super Show then King Koopa has won, and therefore should be accorded the title Super Koopa, King of all Super Bloopahs!
Body Heat…[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]

Don’t suppose you’re too sorry to see Gnome out in that case – or will it POP! back in from time to time as a Goblin instead? 😛
Well done, considering the hundreds or repos at Github are managed by only 7 contributors. And from the release page:

COSMIC Files
◦ COSMIC Store
◦ COSMIC Terminal
◦ COSMIC Text Editor
◦ COSMIC Media Player
◦ COSMIC Sc…

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]

Still getting things together – Lady of the Moon has a more recent post on her choices – there’s quite a bit to go on now.

Yeah, pulling out windows.h is known to cause some pain! 😛
Just remembered too, that those iscsym functions will have to be replaced with the wide char version iswcsym if building unicode, and of course, being windows specific functions, directives apply. Sigh. What’s the cross platform equivalent of those I wonder?

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 🙂

*pID is the address of the first char in string, *pID + 1 the address of the second char in string and so on.
With the const decl *pID is a pointer whose contents cannot be change – once set of course. 😛
Will do. 🙂

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]

Censored over here – does it really come across that strong?
The old Sherlock Holmes films were fabulous as were those with Margaret Rutherford. 🙂
Yep, Spongebob, like The Simpsons along with a host of like others do not lend themselves to filigree cartoonery. 😛
Enjoyed Showtrial (both seasons) more than some of the critics it seems. Enough…[Read more]
