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.

Another quick update to Wasat, my Gemini Protocol client library for Python. With v0.5.0 I've added a method for getting the list of currently-trusted hosts, and also added a public property to the client class for getting access to the...
I knew it was too good to be true. While a little bit of me hoped it was going to happen this time, mostly I was expecting it to not happen. It didn't happen. Today was the day when Openreach were supposed to turn up again and deliver me...
I've just released Rogallo v0.6.0, which contains the last big feature that was missing to make it a viable daily-driver Gemini Protocol client. That feature? Client certificates. From now on, if you visit a capsule that requests a...
By this point today I was hoping to have released a new version of Rogallo, complete with client certificate support. It is more or less all there and ready to go, but I ran into a small problem, something which confused me. You see,...
Wasat v0.3.0 is now available. This is a pretty small update, but one that's going to be useful in the next release of Rogallo. I've now got client certificate support up and going in the application, and I thought it might be useful to...
I've made a quick update to Wasat, my async Gemini Protocol client library for Python. Now that I'm at a point where I want to add client certificates to Rogallo, I'm essentially shaking down the support for this in Wasat. One thing I...
As mentioned in the last release, I've been afk for a week and a bit, enjoying some downtime over in the Netherlands. Although... it wasn't exactly all afk. I did take a keyboard with me and, while time permitted, I did tinker on...
I'm back home, back in Scotland, after a touch over a week in the Netherlands. It's been a great week. Much like on the flight out, from the aircraft, I managed to get a view of a part of the UK I like. This time it was Whitby. While...
I've just made a small update to textual-enhanced, my core library used for most of my Textual-based applications. In v1.6.0 I've extended the "constructor" for ModalInput to allow passing in optional values for password, suggester,...
Quick bump to BagOfStuff. v1.2.0 adds something I totally forgot yesterday. While adding the del method to the history classes, to make it easier for me to manipulate them as if they had the interface of a Python list, I totally forgot...
I've just updated BagOfStuff with a change and addition, in anticipation of some work I'll be doing on Rogallo in the near future. The change is a small and simple one, adding del support to the history classes. The addition is a simple...
Introduction An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks. JSON-LD Explained for Personal Websites Handy guide to how JSON-LD can be useful for personal websites. TownSquare On the one...
I love flying, even though I rarely do so -- I'm not one for travel. But when I get the chance to fly I find it hard to not just sit there, staring out of the window, marvelling at the view. Today I got the chance to get a pretty good...
I've just done a quick update to BlogMore, bumping the version to v2.44.1. This release fixes an issue with auto-cover generation where, if you changed some properties relating to a post (or the blog as a whole), the auto-covers weren't...
I've updated Rogallo to v0.4.0. The main new feature in this release is support for capsule-requested user input. There are some other simple additions too. I've added a Reload command, bound to F5 by default. As you might imagine, it...
