My personal blog which covers a handful of main topics and wanders through all sorts of subjects. Mostly you'll see me writing about coding and Python and a bit of Emacs and so on; but sometimes there will be more random thoughts and personal stuff.

Late on last week I was doing a PR review at work and noticed that, for some odd reason, the author of the PR seemed to have absolutely nuked all of the indentation in the code. While not a problem given the nature of the files I was reviewing, I wasn't happy with their apparent disregard for style and good...
I've released Rogallo v2.4.0, which contains two new features. The first is the addition of a feature related to the Gemini Protocol, and it's something I've been meaning to add for a wee while: a trusted host browser/manager. It's a simple enough idea: you might want to have a look at all the host/port pairs that...
Rogallo v2.3.0 is now available. The main addition to this release is support for the Titan Protocol. First up, there's a small fix. The other day I discovered Scriptonite. While looking at the examples I noticed none of them worked with Rogallo. This struck me as odd because the whole point of Scriptonite is that...
The work to add Titan support to Rogallo is going well, and I've been able to test it out fine on bbs, doing additions of "long text" and performing file uploads. In doing so, though, I was reminded that there is a proposed "edit" extension to Titan, which is supported there (and I believe on a couple of other...
Another quick little update to Wasat, bumping the version to v1.8.0. This version is in support of some work I'm about to do on Rogallo: Titan support. This release adds TitanURI and makes a number of changes to handle such URIs alongside GeminiURI. A lucky side-effect is that a problem was uncovered and corrected...
A quick little update to next-gh-pr.el. Since writing the first version I've found it to be really useful, but I've also bumped into one small issue. Sometimes I'll create a draft PR before I remember to start the changelog entry, and so then I want to insert the current PR link rather than the next one. Now, sure,...
Rogallo v2.2.0 is available. This release contains a handful of small new features and also a very minor cosmetic change. First to the small cosmetic change: the overall design behind the UI of Rogallo is that it's split into a couple of key panels -- the side-panel and the main viewer. The styling of a panel when...
I've just released the first version of another library in the collection of libraries that support the development of Rogallo: specifically, another one that helps convert text in other formats into Gemtext so Rogallo's display can be a little richer. In effect, this is a sibling to md2gemtext and html2gemtext....
A small update to Port79, bumping up to v1.1.0. This release adds a resolve method to the FingerURI class. I'm currently tweaking Rogallo's rendering of some responses from finger services and being able to resolve URIs relative to the underlying page is going to be very helpful.
Earlier today I saw a comment on a post on BBS that was really quite disappointing. The post itself was announcing a new Gemini client, in this case a fully-native macOS one called MajorTom. It's early days for the project, but it looks fun. It also looks like the author is having a ton of fun building it. I can...
