It appears that GitHub has some sort of CI support for MSBuild. Don’t know if it’s a paid feature or what but I’ll take a closer look at it once I’m done with the whitespace formatting. There’s a chance it won’t work due to the generated code but if we can at least get a Windows build out (there’s currently no build of the program available…[Read more]

I prefer OpenSUSE’s zypper but, sadly, I’m stuck on a .deb system here. pacman is pretty good, too.

Yep, I use Synaptic all the time to help fill in the blanks. Use apt for installation and everything but Synaptic has helpful features that I use for querying information. It also has a pretty good categorical view, which is pretty nice.

Yeah,…[Read more]

The IsModified() function in the GUI classes can be optmized.

This is an example of what we have currently:
if (m_IDText.GetModify()) {
m_Modified = true;
}

if (m_NameText.GetModify()) {
m_Modified = true;
}

Right now, it checks each condition even though m_Modified is already true so we can change it to else-ifs after the initial if with a…[Read more]

This looks like a handy device to toss in my bag to work as a scratch pad so I don’t need to waste paper on a basic calculation that I don’t need to save. Cheap enough, too. Looks like off-brand ones are even cheaper at around 2 USD each

Here’s another interesting one coming out: https://miniot.com/blogs/wheel-updates/introducing-wheel-3

Using optics to read the grooves has been done before with mixed success. I wonder how they’re going to factor gunk and grime in the mix?

Light jazz anyone?

Need to clean up my YouTube…[Read more]

In the past, I’ve mentioned that I dislike the apt package manager. Got an example of a reason!

1. Installed Code::Blocks
2. Didn’t like the looks of it, so uninstalled
3. Realized that APT didn’t uninstall all of the dependencies as they’re suggested packages of other packages
4. Spend thirty minutes trying to track down everything since APT doesn’t…

Still working on the project/ directory. When the newlines were converted to standard n a few years ago in that directory, a whole bunch of newlines got added for some reason. As a result, I’m adjusting the amount of vertical whitespace meticulously and is taking some time. Fortunately, this should only need to be done once assuming another…[Read more]

Cool! Love the design!

Got plenty of those! I have three in my cupboards and I know she’s got several insulated bottles that she finds on the river. 😛

Should probably pick up a basic first aid kit as well to keep in the dry bags. Got extra paddles in case the motor dies. Anything else that’s worth picking up?

Yep! A lot of software is still…[Read more]

So Bash does support Morrowind for installing files but doesn’t yet support any of Mash’s other features, such as level list adjusting.

Looks like the directory feature is a built-in mod manager: https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/modding/mod-install.html

Do note that all of that can be done from the OpenMW launcher 🙂

Haven’t seen either of those yet. Think I can get reruns of Bones, not sure

Finally watched Casino Royale. While it made little sense, it was a lot of fun. It felt more like a sketch show than something with a plot 😛

Oppo makes good stuff. Really miss their Blu-ray players. Never got around to picking one up before they shut down the department to focus on mobile. 🙁

Could be a software bug. I’ve always had some weirdness with my A7 Lite and even more since the most recent software update. Apps can change the orientation but I’m not sure how they interact…[Read more]

If getting gtkmm built and distributed for Windows becomes overly complicated (it looks a bit daunting at first glance), we could simply wrap the GUI code in conditional compilation blocks to use the native library on Windows and gtkmm on *nix. Won’t be pretty in the code, though.

The Switch 2 comes out in a few days. I’m going to wait to get mine until next year at the earliest. I want to wait for them to get the kinks worked out and for more games to come out. At the moment, a lot of the early games are just upgrades of the ones on the original Switch. Elden Ring does look compelling but I need to see some gameplay…[Read more]

Sounds like there may have been some structural weakness, that caused part of it to sheer off during the launch. Sometimes, they’ll flood the dock instead. Much safer!

My mom just got a johnboat. Should be fun to play with along the rivers and lakes. Amazingly, she doesn’t have any dry bags so I’m probably going to pick some up at some point 🙂

EditViewObj.cpp and EditViewSort.cpp are empty files and can probably be removed.

As I recall, Judge Judy is the highest paid television personality thanks to her daytime shows. Still in syndication here, too. Due to her popularity, we now have about ten or so similar shows running during the day, in addition to the couple of soap operas that are still in our area (I think we only have the Young and the Restless here).

Saw Plan…[Read more]

In other areas of the code, we have lines like these:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CColorStatic, CStatic)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CColorStatic)
ON_WM_PAINT()
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

I’m assuming these are generated by VS but I’ve never seen that sort of thing before. If generated, it should probably be implemented in the actual code instead.

Yeah, that’s pretty normal. When there’s an error, oftentimes the compilers complain about surrounding lines as well even though there isn’t an error in them. Pretty annoying as it can sometimes be hard to fix a lot of issues all at once but I think it has something to do with how the parsers are designed.

Getting close to being finished with the…[Read more]
