@gritty When I open the "Play Farkle" / proceed to app link (/farkle/app), it has started responding with status 10 so I get an input prompt. A bug? The game works normally after submitting empty text in that initial query.
A new gemlog post...! Related to the circumstances described therein, I encountered various curveballs writing this: the first iteration got deleted due to a bug in my Titan scripts (side effect of the recent GmCapsule PATH_INFO changes), and I had to pause a dozen or so times to address some crisis or other (a climbing toddler and a smashed kitchen chair among the chief concerns).
Much like last year, this January and early February are turning out to be annoying, health-wise. The whole family is taking turns coming down with a cold. My own nose has been running for a couple of weeks now, which is mostly an annoyance. The real problem is that when the kids get sick they have big issues with sleeping, which means I won't be sleeping much either. Productivity has ground to a halt. Consequently, my caffeine-break has been disrupted and I'm back on a regimen of 2-3 cups per...
Yule-Time Well-Wishings — I feel like the modern secular version of Christmas — aka Santa and gifts — is so far-removed from its original meaning that a different word should be used for it altogether. Fortunately for me, here in Finland we continue to call it "Joulu", as in the old pre-Christian feast called Yule. Have a fun Yule celebration, Geminauts! [preformatted]
Is it appropriate to celebrate 1700000000 with fireworks? 🥳 A few more hours left.
My original Raspberry Pi 400 developed a problem with its USB ports. The computer would lock up if one nudged the attached cables even a little bit. It’s been sitting on the table unused for months, yet still I felt compelled to buy a new one. And the new one works great! But it’s still sitting unused because I’m too busy with other stuff.
If anything, the events of the past couple of days have gotten me back into Bubble development after a few months of hiatus focusing on Lagrange. With Lagrange v1.17 in a decent shape, I might as well forge ahead with my Bubble to-dos. There is a bunch of bugs to fix and a couple of new features to add.
I've been caffeine-free for a week now, having successfully (and rather painlessly) eased myself off of coffee. I feel... fine? My energy levels are stabler. Quality of sleep has improved. It would probably be wise to repeat this every few months. Can't wait to get back to enjoying the occasional cup, though. ☕️

It's time to de-weed the #Lagrange to-do list. There are about 250 items on the list and I'm pretty sure I haven't even looked at the bottom 150 in the last twelve months. Some items are already taken care of and some have become obsolete. Some are too ambitious/far-flung to keep around in the list. I'm pretty sure I'll find enough small stuff to put together a v1.17 before focusing further on the v2.0 features.
Testing a toot via bbs.geminispace.org. This is supposed to go out through the u/skyjake Atom feed via feed2toot.
Welcome to Bubble @solderpunk!
I was mostly AFK last week, as we were on a vacation trip with the family. Let's say it was... eventful? Our 11mo soon-to-be-toddler wasn't really pleased with any of it. I suppose relaxation isn't really on the table when traveling with small children. 😓 It'll take a few days to recover from the trip, but this is a good opportunity to catch up on TV shows I've missed in recent months, like Last of Us and The Mandalorian S3.
BBS Archives — I've added a Gemfeed page for the Bubble archives exported from BBS. I'm not entirely happy with the general formatting of the pages, but it should suffice for now. I also toyed with generating a more book-like Gempub, but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it to make a completely different kind of rendering of the posts just for the exports. Now the implementation can use the same code for regular viewing and exporting.
Hmm, the new Bubble comment page could still need some tweaking. At least it should integrate the per-page notification list and maybe move the OP section always to the bottom, so the Later Comments are immediately visible. At the moment, the placement depends on comment sort order. The formatting of the comment itself should probably be changed to be same as on the main post page, i.e., move metadata below the content, but still keep the "Comment on:" at the top.
I'm trying to get more into a multi-window workflow with my personal use of Lagrange. Since the app was initially created with a single-window GUI, that's what I still typically tend to use. It's quite handy to keep two windows open, like now while writing this I can type in one window while keeping another open for unrelated things. (Like SpellBinding. 🙂) You could do the same with split view mode, but I like to the keep pinning enabled to help with hierarchical navigation, so the splits can...
Slowly getting Lagrange v1.16.4 out the door. To be clear, it's still stuck on the doorstep, not quite out the door yet. I've been trying to fix several small glitches/annoyances recently, but the nature of a truly cross-platform app is that doing changes on one platform will cause subtle issues on other platforms. Doubly so when dealing with a custom GUI toolkit. It's much like juggling lots of balls, or herding wild cats, or possibly juggling a bunch of cats.
Did some old-fashioned UI debugging to fix a couple of issues with Lagrange's multi-window behavior. One issue seemed to be an SDL bug, but it may have been a problem only on macOS.
What's in a Name — [gemini link] The domain name of this capsule has been a topic of discussion. I've already added an introductory text to the Help page that sheds some light on what's the deal here, but to further alleviate potential confusion, I've decided to switch this Bubble instance over to a subdomain. @jeang3nie suggested using "bbs", and I agree that is a nice choice because: Bubble is supposed to be a Bulletin Board System, not in the modems and telephone lines sense, but in the...
After getting used to editing content on Bubble using Lagrange, it feels so clunky to use `ssh` and `nano` to update the skyjake.fi capsule.
Almost time for Bubble v3. This week's update will be wide-ranging and has a couple of new feedback mechanisms in addition to the plain old Likes. But importantly, the style of feedback will be customizable in the site config and user settings. I will update the capsule to v3 sometime tomorrow. A little teaser: 🙏🔥🛂
Multiple people have requested an option to disable the Likes mechanism on Bubble. A site-wide configuration option and a per-user setting for this are coming in v3.0.
I've got "✏️ 3 drafts" staring at me here, but lots of coding to do. ☺️ It's nice having a place to keep gemlog ideas and general thoughts floating around until there's a suitable moment to finalize them. Since I'm on multiple devices/OSs, keeping drafts only on one would be cumbersome. I realized I can copy-paste the composer preview output and upload that to the gemlog so I can draft posts on Bubble and still publish them on the original site.
I think I've been approaching this Bubble notification suppression the wrong way. What I actually want is for all the enabled types to be emitted, so they can be grouped/combined together in a smarter way when rendering. For starters, I'll set up proper priority tiers for the notification types and ensure that from each grouping only the highest priority one is actually shown. The others can be silently discarded. Also, the flags determining which notifications you have enabled weren't...
