Turned out great!
Yeah, I’ll try to get a picture of the next one I make and decorate. Too late now: it’s already passed through the body and back to the water treatment plant 😛
Oh, cool. We don’t get those around here, only the regular Prunus persica variety (free stone and cling). Due to the weather conditions the last few years, our crop has been hit or miss unfortunately.
Another way of getting the proper culture is to simply mix flour and water for a few days in a warm environment. After a week or two, the culture should have colonized enough so that you can start using it for repeated baking. Need to get the ratio down just right, though. Here’s one recipe if you want to try your hand at it. 🙂
Yeah, casseroles boiling over is always an issue here too. I have yet to find a recipe where the quantity doesn’t risk boiling over. I think it’s just due to the recipes trying to fill up a standard pan size, with cooking times written for such. May play with things on a larger pan at some point and see if I can figure out the proper details for a system that doesn’t boil over.
In theory, I could use my pressure cooker as a roaster but it’s too narrow for a lot of things. Used it a few times and it works out rather well, though. For a roasting pan, I just use an old hand-me-down. I probably should replace it at some point, though, as it has some bad hot spots and is very lightweight so doesn’t cook evenly. Don’t use it a whole lot, though (maybe a few times a year for special occasions) so it’s not something I’ve gotten around to yet 🙂
Fixed a bug in
ui/class_dlg.h: for some reason, it had an improper include-guard that came in the original project import. Will be in the next upload 🙂Not a clue! I don’t know PHP but the installation looks simple enough 🙂
Discord does have a swag store: https://discordmerch.com/ 😛
Ugh. That’s going to make it harder to track down common issues and fixes, especially for those without a Discord account. Discord does have a threads feature but it’s mostly an afterthought and the interface is extremely cludgy. It’s good for chats but not much else, really.
Sounds good 🙂
Edit:
mwedit/is now done. Just need to tackleui/andwindows/now.And
game/morrowind/has been taken care of 🙂Forgot to mention the other week that OpenMW got updated to 0.50: https://openmw.org/2025/openmw-0-50-0-released/
It’s mostly minor fixes and better controller support but there are some other goodies thrown in. 🙂
Yeah, Windows has always been slow to get everything up to speed, even on a fresh install with an SSD. I’m assuming Windows is installed on the HDD? The SSD will definitely boot faster than the HDD if you want to go that route. Would mean moving the install, though, which can be a bit of a pain
And the first book in the Nancy Drew series along with more Agatha Christie. 🙂
And then there was the time that Donald Duck killed Goofy:

Think Geek used to sell an electronic useless machine. Don’t recall the details but it did stuff when you pressed the button. 😛
The ellipsograph is less useful but no less cool!
I’m not sure Ballad of Champions made it out of Japan, which could explain its limited availability. Really need to get more records. Our local record stores focus more on genres that don’t interest me, such as R&B and new age rock. I just haven’t spent much time looking online yet. Just not a big fan of online shopping 😛
Do the built-in Windows tools for RGB functionality work any better? I’ve never really messed with those settings. I really just use the backlight on the keyboard to see the keys. Sadly, here on Linux, we have very few options for RGB control. You’d think we’d have more by now!
Just to give you a heads up: Free counter stat is blocked by uBlock Origin as a tracker so it may not be able to keep an accurate count.
Decorated my first cake for the holidays last week and it turned out great! Instead of using a pastry bag, I used one of these. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to get a picture before the cake was devoured 😛
Making good progress. The only directories left to update the paths are
game/,mwedit/,ui/, andwindows/🙂Then I can go back to what I was doing before I got sidetracked and continuing adjusting the missing includes.
Edit:
As long as we’re using CPack and dynamic builds, we may want use this module: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.html
Essentially, it’ll ensure that the language runtime is included in the installer that the code links against to make sure that things work. And it makes sure MFC is included as that’s an optional package.
Of course, we may decide to remove it down the road but, initially, it probably doesn’t hurt to use it until we’re more comfortable with the setup 🙂
It sounds like it may fail on the free version of Visual Studio so it’s something to keep in mind
And I’ve attempted to update the paths in the resource files. I had trouble with that previously so there’s a good chance that they’ll need to updated yet again once the CI spits out an error. The resource compiler seems to have a limited ability to do includes while MWEdit uses the pre-processor in them extensively. But, as we already know, the resource files on the list for clean up 🙂
The attempt will also be in the next upload 🙂
Just be on the lookout for the ghouls that have taken up residence!
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with that location: it felt a bit small relative to the name. I was expecting a sprawling Wal-Mart kind of place 😛
Not sure about the issue in the manager but the issue with Samsung is probably related to some security events they’ve had lately. They’ve had a few breaches in the last few years
Yeah, losing their forums was a sad time. Discord isn’t a good replacement as it’s hard to navigate a chatroom when you’re looking for specific information and then there’s the fact that you need to actually be logged in. I remember trying to save the data but it didn’t work out 🙁
Recently came across this contraption: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-90902/pbackx/automated-lego-sorting-machine/
CMake paths have been updated, Wasn’t painful, I just used
ls -1Q <directory>/*.ccto list everything in quotes with the path prefix. 🙂And more information on the color static files: we want to use the one in
windows/as that one is more complete. I’ve already removed the other two files from the CMake script so they’ll be in the next upload and will update the includes to use the correct one as I go through.Slowly, but surely, the code base is shaping up and becoming easier to manage 🙂
Public Domain Day is coming up. Here’s some of the stuff entering the public domain in the US: https://copyrightlately.com/public-domain-2026/
Quite a few good items! We got Betty Boop, As I lay Dying, All Quiet on the Western Front, Animal Crackers, some Disney shorts, and more!
Yep, the Draft Horse was a good one
Here’s the entire filmography from the 40s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes_and_Merrie_Melodies_filmography_(1940%E2%80%931949)
Think I hit the 30s the other day.
Can’t get too many holiday specials over these days. Most of them are now coming on at odd times and others are being pickup by streaming services leaving us OTA watchers out of luck 🙁
Been watching Date A Live lately. Started it a few years back and enjoyed it so I decided to pick it up again now that they’ve made more episodes available. It’s pretty fun, if rather weird 😛
The 3DS Max code may be related to this tool: https://github.com/uesp/mwnifto3ds
Some of Dave’s other tools may be worth merging in at some point in the future but we may want to use updated libraries for some of them to take advantage of newer developments. I do have an end-game in mind but we’ll definitely want to keep feature creep in mind. More on my ultimate goals later 🙂
