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!

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

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

ng2nlm - Feed NotebookLM a Norton Guide
After having knocked up obs2nlm the other day I realised there was another source of sources available to me that might be fun to throw into NotebookLM: one or more of the Norton Guide files in my col...

obs2nlm - Feed NotebookLM an Obsidian Vault
I'm sure I've mentioned a couple of times before that I've become quite the fan of Obsidian. For the past few years, at any given point, I've had a couple of vaults on the go. Generally I find such va...

Because I take a lot of notes with #Obsidian and I've also been dabbling with #NotebookLM for doing various bits of research I got to thinking it might be handy to dump a vault into it as a source.
So I wrote a tool: obs2nlm.davep.dev
So far it's proving to be really quite handy.

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.

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.

Finished Pluribus. Very much enjoyed it. A number of things about the “virus” origin bother me though; probably the greatest being that the aliens were advanced enough to transmit the code, but apparently had never considered 2 bit encoding. 🤔

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. 😅

Finally got to see the latest take o the The Running Man. I’m biased because Edgar but hugely enjoyed it.
