I updated some tracker items with additional information regarding Unicode

Still working on getting the debug build fixed up.

Missed that latest update. Will need to catch up!

Ah, Craigslist gems: https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all/

Pretty fun postings in there. It’s kind of buried so doesn’t get much attention.

200 USD for a TKL mechanical….? That’s insane. You can get a really nice full layout mechanical keyboard for that price!

Ugh. Had something similar when I was browsing Discogs yesterday on the tablet: the click area for the sidebar stretched into the list area in portrait mode and had to put it in landscape to get it to function correctly. Not…[Read more]

Not a lot there that caught this eye – the keyboards are a bit pricey – nice colour arrangement and cool Discord logo on the Esc key.https://discordmerch.com/collections/legacy-collection/products/discord-tkl-mechanical-keyboard
The buttons for the themes don’t do anything in Chrome, and the webpage won’t reveal all until it’s maximised. Similar…[Read more]

And started watching Spongebob the other day just for fun. As bad as it is, it’s a lot of fun 😀

Going through some old stuff and re-discovered Ortham’s (previously known as WrinklyNinja, name changed while I was away from the overall community) list of links: https://blog.ortham.net/buddah/
A lot of the tools on it are old and haven’t been updated since in a decade but there may still be some useful stuff we can use for reference.…[Read more]

Fiber is only just becoming mainstream, so that may help down the road if the industry cares to revisit the format for larger screens. Of course, with the size needed, it would still be a pretty niche market. I do wish we’d have more streaming content in 4k, though, and at better compression algorithms. I can see a big difference between my 4k…[Read more]

There’s a “stabilized” version of the short on Wikipedia now.
Just out is Ufology: From Fringe to Mainstream to Fringe?. Fatigue is a key word, perhaps even a little trepidation from the likes of
cryptoterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, extratempestrials, and interdimensionals
And a shout out to Xenotrophs! 🙂

hmmm could a more upbeat title go like…[Read more]

why bother about cryptocurrency when you can have your own bespoke coin collection?

“The Weekly” show is a lot of fun, do have a soft spot for the Rhys Nicholson spot, the Tom Gleeson spot, and this spot for a well seasoned reviewer:

Posted some Chenille clips…[Read more]

I got the 64 GB model as the OS itself takes up ~23 GB, which wouldn’t have left a whole lot for the cache and other stuff.

The size of the display is a nice fit for me: not too large and not too big. I do have trouble with the onscreen keyboard but I have trouble with that feature everywhere. I just never got the hang of typing on a screen, is…[Read more]

Nice unit – a bit like the A8 in many respects, both lacking NFC but supporting USB OTG and IEC 61960 standard, here’s the AU/NZ version, funny Samsung doesn’t list the A7 on the US page at all. Scrolling down the bottom of that AU/NZ page see the unreadble text. It actually copies to clipboard as readable text with stuff like:

*Display Size:…

Doesn’t look like there’s a community resource for the file formats for Fallout and Starfield. May add the resource to the to-do list at some point as it’s something that the community is sorely lacking. We need a place to describe the processes and such so that we know what all is going on and don’t rely on a singly tool as gatekeeper. We went…[Read more]

And let’s not forget dolphins! They’ve been known to help out divers, which isn’t really mentioned on Wiki for some reason.

I’m assuming that’s for individual reviews?

Had this interesting article come in the other day. That sort of thing is always a good read 🙂

Picked up an A7 Lite a few years back. It’s not bad but it does have trouble loading heavier web pages and can’t handle GIFs at all. At some point, I’ll probably upgrade to a more powerful model but it’s good enough for basic browsing and work 🙂

Will heed the advice! Elephants never forget either and they also exhibit altruistic behaviour.
Did post a review at Amazon of the dogs’ trampoline beds, to see reviews one has to logged in these days. There’s a rather lengthy explanation of why here:

The scr files are related to the script compiler. Like I said, poorly documented. 😛

At some point, I may look into replacing the parser with something like flex or bison. Not sure if it’s possible, though, as I’ve never used them before

Good catch on the text file reference. Will need to add the link somewhere for reference

0.6.3 should be…[Read more]

Another thing is the Get/SetFuncData pulls up all the script variables, SCVR also enumerated here.
One supposes journal records can be referenced in scripts, if not, it’s less to worry about.
What’s clear as a pea soup fog is why SCVR is used only in info_dlg and not to any other UI modules – even the scr_... ones. Dave has explained much of it…[Read more]

Figured it out, to some degree. The journal dialog is supposed to set up the quest sub-records (QSTN, QSTF, and QSTR) with the INFO record. It’s possible the script stuff is meant to link it up but those are only in the parent INFO so I’m not entirely sure. We’ll definitely need to review the community documentation on the file format (and I’ll…[Read more]

Linus has some good ones, too: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds

😛

Yay! Rain! We’re still pretty dry but we’re supposed to get a storm today. Then dryness again. 😛

Yeah, the pythons are a big problem here. They’re now experimenting with robots to try and get them under control!

Had this come in the other day:…[Read more]

We may need it, it may be along the lines of this. Not quite sure how all this works yet. 🙁
