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.

I've just made a small release to Rogallo, bumping the version to v2.1.0. This release mostly has some small cosmetic fixes and improvements, and one new feature. The cosmetic improvements include: Fixed the verification method and client certificate status icons in the viewer title bar so they don't use the "this...
A quick little update to Wasat, bumping the version to v1.7.0. In service of a feature I'm adding to Rogallo, I've added a forget method to the trust store class, so that a certificate fingerprint for a particular host/port combination can be forgotten. This came about because, if a fingerprint does change for a...
Introduction An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks. Mechboards I've enjoyed using the odd mechanical keyboard for a few years now. Nothing too fancy. Every once in a while I get the urge to really get into the mechanical keyboard world. Knowing that this...
I've just released v2.0.0 of Rogallo. This release has quite a lot of changes, one or two of them "breaking changes", hence the bump to v2.0.0. I will add though that, when I say "breaking changes", nothing should actually break, it's just some features have changed in an incompatible way and some application...
While it might seem that it's been pretty quiet on the Rogallo front the past few days, I've been doing some work on it every day. There are a lot of changes and improvements coming. As I got the next release ready, I realised that some of the support libraries I've built for it were stuck with 0.x versions while,...
The client certificate management PR for Rogallo is very close to completion now -- although the thing has grown arms and legs and turned into a bit of a UI overhaul1. Something I wanted to add was a quick and easy way for the user to view the details of a client certificate that's being used for the current page....
Five days after I first noticed it, the ability to upload a social preview for a repository has been fixed. So now I can finally update the preview for Rogallo again. From what I can see it took a couple or so threads in the community forums to get this issue noticed, and at least one person in those threads said...
I'm still working on the client certificate management PR for Rogallo, which, of course, heavily leans on the API of Wasat. In most cases, I've noticed that something I want to do in the PR can already be done, but the work to perform the action would seem like unnecessary detail in a client application; I want to...
I've just made a small but important bug fix to Rogallo. Currently, I'm working on a more comprehensive approach to managing client-side certificates and, in doing so, I noted a bug with how such certificates are currently created by Rogallo. Simply put: by default, Rogallo should create certificates that...
Another bump to Wasat, this being v1.4.0. This release is in support of some work I want to do on Rogallo, where I intend to add proper client certificate management. While Wasat provided good support for the generation, storage, and use of client certificates, there was no real public API that would allow for the...
