I've done a small update to make-phony.el, my little Emacs package that lets me be lazy when adding .PHONY to mark a target as a phony target in a Makefile. The only change is a tweak to the regular expression, to tighten up the check for a target that can be marked.

Carrying on with the theme of being lazy while editing posts, I've released blogmore.el v4.5.0. This version adds blogmore-set-as-cover. With this, if you place point on a line that is an image and run the command, it is set as the cover for the post. Sure, it's not like it's hard to copy, move, insert a new line,...

As I've said earlier, I'm not looking to move off GitHub any time soon, but I am curious about evaluating the options. So far, while trying out Codeberg, I am finding it to be very unstable. A little earlier I was simply browsing some of the repositories I've been adding and got very slow load times, and then a 500....

Not that I'm avidly tracking it because I'm envious of all the pictures I'm seeing on Reddit, but... One step closer to getting my hands on my Steam Controller!

I've had a GitLab account since December 2017. This came about because of the new job I started in January 2018. They used a self-hosted internal instance of GitLab for all their code, so it made sense I get familiar with it (it wasn't hard; especially back in 2017 it was near enough a clone of GitHub in terms of...

I'm out and about, MacBook Air in tow, with a couple of hours to kill. So I dip into a coffee shop and decide to tinker with stuff. I open up Codeberg and... Okay, guess I'll be using something else at the moment then. So far I'm not having a lot of success. PS: That . after the : though...

I've released an update to blogmore.el, my Emacs package that helps me out when writing this blog. I've added two commands to this version which help me be lazier than ever. The first is blogmore-become-like. When run, this prompts for another post and, once selected, it sets this post's category and tags to be the...

Well, that was pretty quick. This morning it was in the packaged state and, checking just now: When I've bought hardware from Valve before, I'm pretty sure it's taken around 3 days to get here, coming from the Netherlands. I can see this is shipping from there too, so I'm going to guess about the same amount of...

I've finally made a proper start on the planned migration to webp for images. I did consider writing a tool that would go through and migrate the files, and update the Markdown, all in one go, but something about that makes me kind of nervous. While it wouldn't be a destructive approach (the whole blog is under...

Following on from what I wrote about GitHub recently, I thought I'd check out Codeberg. While I'm aware of it (it is supported by Hike after all), I've never actually used it and have never had an account there. I was delighted to find my preferred user name was actually available, which made me more inclined to...

After a day of no movement, I wake up to see this: One step closer to getting my hands on it! I'm oddly kind of invested in getting my hands on this. A regret I have is that I never bought one of the originals. Back in the day I did buy (and still own) a Steam Link and it served me well for a while, 4 homes ago. The...

It's a small thing, but here's round 2 of me vs Claude. This time I'm directing the agent to clean up the code that does word counts, getting it to use the Markdown to plain text code that exists in BlogMore, rather than the regex-based Markdown-stripper it was using. The approach it landed on made sense to me,...
