I just discovered House of the Dying Sun. It runs pretty well locally on the Steam Frame too. I especially love how it’s kind of a colonial Viper simulator; only you’re gleefully evil.

This is kinda neat. #Gopher weather service. gopher://weather.orbitaloutpost.club:7070/1/u/metric

Erm… but why though? It’s been fine for bloody ages.

#Titan support in #Rogallo is *very* close to complete now. Text upload support done. File upload support done. Also added `;edit` support too. Some last tests and tweaks to faff with and I think it'll be good to go. #GeminiProtocol #gemini #SmallWeb #smolweb #terminal #python

It's failing in Safari and Chrome; but I very much doubt it's a client-side issue. From what I can tell GitHub *thinks* the image is uploaded, and it emits the `twitter:image` and `og:image` tags, but they point to a resource that is 404.

A constant benefit of sharing your life with a Dutch person, is finding yourself randomly sitting on the sofa, feeling like you’re now 50% pancake and Schenkstroop. Also… we’re down to our last bottle. 😬

Wild scenes in Penicuik this lunchtime.

I wonder if you might have a misconfiguration somewhere? The feed refers to blog.cpjobling.me -- which doesn't seem to exist.

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 25/04/2026

Yup. Pretty sure I’m still not going to vote for the science-denying weirdo death cult party. Shame they don’t have a freepost address.

Experimenting with how you build an MCP server, by building a server for Norton Guide files (of course!). So far it's going... surprisingly well. Now I can ask questions about CA-Clipper programming and get really slow answers. #ai #llm #python #programming #clipper #msdos

According to Menu Bar Stats the battery in my MacBook Air is doing *really* well for its age.

Consider my bump totally fisted. 👊

Edinburgh having a bit of a cool mood this evening.

The usual post-movie treat for us. 😋

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 06/02/2026

So… the problem is never solved, got it.

The winter break project is (post-break) getting dangerously close to being usable as a daily driver. At this rate I’ll have to do some proper docs soon! github.com/davep/oldnews #Python #terminal #rss #theoldreader #programming

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 17/01/2026

I think someone is annoyed that I’m tinkering with code rather than paying them attention.

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 14/01/2026

This might have to become my "wake me up when I get to my desk" track for a while... Shame it's so short.

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 11/01/2026

While I'm messing with tools to create sources for #NotebookLM, perhaps it would be fun to mash up the Norton Guide reading library I maintain with this and feed NGs into LLMs and then ask questions of them... Wee bit of hacking later... #python #clipper #xbase #msdos #digitalpreservation

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 03/01/2026

Just tried the demo of #Cairn on my #Steamdeck and I think I’m sold. This hits the same bits of my brain that make me love #DeathStranding. This might be a must-buy.

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 30/12/2025

Winter break project is coming along okay. The UI doesn't look much different to before, but I've been on a side quest trying out local db/ORM options, etc. Went with TypeDAL (typedal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). Local DB sync is mostly working. #python #terminal #theoldreader #foss #rss

Apparently, 2 years ago today, I defeated Adam Smasher for the first time. Or maybe it was the second? I’ve played this game through a few times now. 😅

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 25/12/2025

I’m shocked, shocked, that @supermarielle.bsky.social would troll me with a gift. Hopefully it can be built correctly-handed. 😑

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 24/12/2025

That’ll do for dinner. Dinner companion was enjoyable too.

Smaller housemate making decorations to hang up. Bigger housemate(1) made “a robin to hang up”. 😳 1) Naming no names but it was @supermarielle.bsky.social

Considering how it’s off by a wee bit on my age, I think it’s confused about what a year is but, still, I chuckled… hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/davepdotorg...

Another winter break, another winter break project is kicking off. This one's been on my todo list for bloody ages. #python #terminal #rss #news #reader

Today on “Ass end of cat or a tribble?”…

Finally got to see the latest take o the The Running Man. I’m biased because Edgar but hugely enjoyed it. We also had the traditional post-movie dinner. 😋

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 13/12/2025

Love it! And once again it reminds me that I’d love to know why the description for the help switch starts lower case; which then bothers me because, like your example, I’m compelled to use capital case for my own switches. 😅

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 11/12/2025

Okay, #term39 is giving me some serious #DESQview (with a side order of #TurboVision) vibes and I like it. #msdos #dos #terminal

So this box turned up this morning and I’m learning about keeping veg in your shoes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Broadband at the old place closed down. Despite already having sent the old router back yesterday, #BT seem weirdly keen to nag me to send it back. O_o

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 26/11/2025

Yes, I will be glad when the moving process is complete. 😅

Apple Intelligence, out of nowhere, suddenly deciding to give me notification summaries for just one app in… Dutch. Guess it thinks I should be trying harder to learn.

You know that thing where you dedupe lots of things when two households merge? The pizza cutter situation is the first real relationship test…

Dave Pearson @davep.org · 22/11/2025

One of my favourite dinners. 😋

I really should revive the “wrong-handed DNA klaxon” account I used to run on Twitter.
