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.

A quick bump of Wasat to v1.3.0. This follows on from the work started in v1.2.0, improving how hybrid mode works and also making host certificate verification information available in the response object. The main improvement to hybrid...
I've just released Wasat v1.2.0. This release aims to help out with a change I want to make in Rogallo in relation to certificate verification. The issue is that, until now, Wasat offered either ca or tofu as verification modes....
Rogallo has been updated to v1.3.0. This release adds an extra cosmetic feature to the Gopher support, and also extends what the internal command line is capable of. Both of the changes come from suggestions made by -fab-, who's been an...
A quick little update to GopherMap. v0.2.0 greatly relaxes the validation of incoming lines, being a lot less fussy about missing tab characters and also about fully empty lines. In the first take on this I was being pretty strict but,...
Rogallo v1.2.0 is now available. The main change in this release is the kick-off of support for the Gopher protocol. As I've mentioned before: Gopher is kind of an unknown to me, in terms of actually using it. I'm aware of it, I've known...
Having spun up Port70 as a support library for my effort to add gopher support to Rogallo, the next thing I needed was some code to parse the "gopher map" responses that you get back from Gopher servers. While this could have been some...
I've just made a small bug-fix release for Rogallo. v1.1.1 fixes two (mostly) cosmetic issues that were reported by a user. From the ChangeLog: Fixed cosy_link_jumps not being loaded from configuration when Rogallo starts up. (#230)...
It was, of course, inevitable that this would happen. After spinning up Port79 so that I could add finger support to Rogallo, it made sense that I start to think about Gopher support too. So here we go: Port70, a similar library for...
I've just bumped Port79 to v1.0.0. There's no significant change in this release, other than the addition of the usual dunder-based metadata that is common in Python libraries; somehow I'd managed to leave it out in the last couple of...
Rogallo v1.1.0 is now available. This release includes a number of new features and improvements, plus a small cosmetic fix. Diagnostics On the off chance that someone else does use Rogallo, and needs help getting to the bottom of some...
A quick update to Port79. When I kicked this off I'd set up the FingerURI class so that it was pretty permissive in what it would accept. So, for example, you could do any of: >>> FingerURI("davep") FingerURI('finger://davep/') >>>...
I woke up this morning to find that EE had sent me an email at around 00:30 last night. We're sorry we didn't stick to our appointment or give you 24 hours' notice that we couldn't make it. We've added a £32.31 credit to your next bill...
The day after the last failed attempt to install fibre, I got a follow-up message from Openreach, pretty much not telling me anything I didn't already know: We came to see if we can connect your property to our Full Fibre network...
While I'm having a moment of calling code stable, I've bumped Wasat to v1.0.0 as well. There's no actual difference here when compared to the last release, other than the development status classifier in the PyPI metadata and the version...
Thirty-three days ago, back on the 18th of June, I created a development directory called rogallo, and started adding dependencies and laying out the main user interface of Rogallo. It's been tons of fun working on it while exploring...
