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.

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...

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.

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…

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

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. 😅

Apple Intelligence, out of nowhere, suddenly deciding to give me notification summaries for just one app in… Dutch.
