New personal site launch

Finally managed to cut-over my personal site to its new content (referenced in the context).

This is generated as static output from Cacophony, using it as the source of truth. This means that it doesn't put any specific requirements on the web [...]

Re: Thankful.

Ah, well I am glad that I am not boring. I always worry about that.

Re: Halloween Plans

Yeah, it is pretty odd how some people are still in maximal hysteria mode. By this point, nothing else has changed for over a year or will change, going forward, so their behaviour is either permanent or until their own minds calm down.

The other [...]

Re: Notes Early on a Monday...

I would suspect that, when it comes to attending funerals, it is mostly important for the people who knew them well or people close to those who knew them well and may be feeling the loss deeply.

If it isn't going to be a good place for you, due to [...]

Re: "I is only a baby, no, I is 14 meow!"

Aww, always good to see the little kitty doing well.

Re: The singing stones in the sand

Thanks - I think that the recent progress with some of these projects, or maybe the time of the year, has left me more inspired.

WebRTC is a go!

Just got off of the first successful test call with my Dad. This was a successful run of my own minimal WebRTC client and signalling server.

Now, I just need to make the error handling more informative, fix a timeout issue in the proxy [...]

The singing stones in the sand

It is midday and I am restless. I leave the tower to take a walk through the desert outside. My mind continues to dive back into dark places, no matter how much I try to focus on something useful.

That is part of the problem, of course: There [...]

Re: This is 41.

Aww, it is nice to see you and the kitty!

Progress and plans

Despite this WebRTC work being largely uninteresting (as it is basically just front-end stuff), I do seem to have it basically working. For this system, I am going with something simple: Starting a "chatroom" data channel and video/audio stream [...]

Uggh, so tired

I am not sure how much of this is the time of year (I remember the beginning of autumn usually being a time of year when I feel extra tired), the lack of mental engagement (this WebRTC stuff will be useful but it is SO boring to poke at and only [...]

Sluggish movement

After a pretty tedious day of poking at some WebRTC experiments, I do seem to have something which basically establishes the connection order and allows data to pass between multiple processes.

It was slow-going since I find this stuff rather [...]

Tired and next plans

I have been oddly tired, this week. I think it is due to the time of year: I recall the cold shift at the beginning of autumn coinciding with feeling unusually tired, in years past.

In terms of next projects, I think I will do that WebRTC [...]

Re: Liking how Cacophony works

Hmm, that is really strange since it means that the call is happening and correctly returning. Does anything interesting show up in the console when you visit that page?

I wondered if maybe there was a problem with IPFS Desktop or some rendering [...]

Re: Liking how Cacophony works

Hmm, does it still show the cache sizes correctly, after that? Something like "Followee cache size: " with some number of bytes? I will have to fix that before the final release so I will need to figure out what could be going wrong.

Re: Liking how Cacophony works

Yeah, I find myself often having a similar problem.

Let me know if you find any issues with that build since it should be basically the same as RC2, which will likely become the final release.

Independent games are impressively good

I really like how things like GOG and Steam have made buying independent or classic games easy, these days.

As an added bonus, Steam's forays into the console market have put emphasis on Linux compatibility.

Sure, I like my big games, like [...]

Liking how Cacophony works

Given that Cacophony work is winding down (really, just some documentation updates to the wiki and ReadMe, then it should be "done"), I do find that I like how it turned out.

Sure, it has basically no usage, but I don't know how to really get [...]

Re: The chicken or the egg?

Yikes, those withdrawals would definitely be unsettling. I hope that your doctors are giving you good guidance in this endeavour.

Re: 4.1 pre-3

If you press "Save draft", with this version, does it work?

I know that the normal way that this works, it will save before it tries to publish, so that is probably why it would save and be something you could retry if the publish failed due to [...]

Re: 4.1 pre-3

Thanks for taking a look.

Based on that image, I think I have seen that thumbnail problem before: It only seems to be on new posts which are currently being synchronized. I do plan on fixing this before the final release.

That is peculiar that [...]

Re: Cacophony 4.1-pre3 release

I am interested in seeing what you think about it. I definitely need more input into some of the UI details, as well as just a sense of how well it is working.

Re: The last while

Good to hear that you are doing some things to keep busy, at least. I feel like my own world is in a similar "waiting for something to happen while we all get older" sort of state.

By the way, I found the bug which was causing those Chromium [...]

When the excitement of youth turns to the dread of old age

While watching the video in the context (a discussion of the ending of Oppenheimer - the video does include spoilers), I was struck by something interesting (my comments here shouldn't constitute spoilers in any sense beyond a vague "feeling" - this [...]

Re: Line breaks and paragraphs in posts.

Ah, I am seeing these now. I suspect that your IPFS was dead for a few days.
Technically, when it draws a post on the main "play.html" page, it is replacing newlines with "<br />" tags. You can tell that the line does start over but I agree that [...]
