And that was a great time to look at fixing some very irritating issues… which SwiftUI made ridiculously easy.https://codepope.dev/post/2023/08/ughbuntu/Sun, 27 Aug 2023 21:53:14 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/08/ughbuntu/In which I become irritated at the practical state of desktop Ubuntu…https://codepope.dev/post/2023/08/asahiya/Sat, 05 Aug 2023 19:00:00 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/08/asahiya/There´s nothing like a new Linux as a distraction and Asahi Linux Fedora Remix said ‘Get this on an M1’. So, here I am running on Asahi… Let me tell you more.https://codepope.dev/post/2023/07/retooling/Mon, 24 Jul 2023 18:10:07 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/07/retooling/So the latest distraction I have indulged in, much to my chagrin as I’d actually like to achieve something is redoing my day to day desktop toolchain.https://codepope.dev/post/2023/05/bookmarksync/Sat, 20 May 2023 22:03:22 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/05/bookmarksync/So earlier in the week Andy Piper wondered out loud on Mastodon if anyone had done a bookmark manager for Mastodon. I didn’t know of any but it did that thing that kicks my brain off, but not in a “write a bookmark manager” way. I use Raindrop.io to manage bookmarks and I’m not going to change … and it’s a good cross platform way of taking care of bookmarks, archiving and curating.https://codepope.dev/post/2023/05/micropythonpycharm/Mon, 08 May 2023 17:47:00 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/05/micropythonpycharm/Seeking an IDE. Working with MicroPython recently made me realise now, more than ever, how poorly the small board Python community is with tooling. The apparent choice of Mu editor and Thonny doesn’t come out as a great choices. That’s mainly, for me at least, because they talk to the boards ok, but the editing experience is dismal. Oddly selected keystrokes, atypical interactions, iffy window handling, very little in the way of useful syntax highlighting, almost no code navigation outside a file….https://codepope.dev/post/2023/04/bootingtheturing/Sat, 15 Apr 2023 19:53:22 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/04/bootingtheturing/So the Turing Pi 2 landed and I went to get it up and running… and then I ran into an issue I should have realised earlier, so much earlier.https://codepope.dev/post/2023/03/superconnector/Sun, 26 Mar 2023 07:55:44 +0100https://codepope.dev/post/2023/03/superconnector/So I have this fancy DAB radio and I wanted to control it over Wifi from my phone. A journey of old protocols and odd limitations began…https://codepope.dev/post/2022/01/circles/Sun, 02 Jan 2022 14:50:53 +0000https://codepope.dev/post/2022/01/circles/So, 2022 eh. Better start doing something here which you may want to read. So this is Circles, a weekly round up of things on my radar. This week, some physical Pi hacking, waiting for a 2.5Gbe PC, some Swift coding, 3D printed stands and a site to check the Prime Ministerial status… Pi hacking (Circle 1) Over the festivus and merinium, I was doing various bits and pieces. The one I’m oddly proud of is also the hackiest.
