Re: Moldy Apple Adventures

That's an awesome score and a lot of planning ahead to perform the recovery and fixes while still in the hotel haha. You've probably joined the club of 8 other people who have successfully used Internet Sharing to bridge a wireless network to a wired one.

Re: A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna

That's some amazing craftsmanship. Congratulations!

You're reminding me that I should look into transferring my ham license from Brazil to Portugal, although given the amount of time work is currently occupying, I don't think I'll have enough free time.

This one looks perfect for the background of a Jornada 720.

Nice shots by the way! Were they all taken with an N900?

Re: Image dumps from the recent past

Nice pictures. It does show that you don't need tens of megapixels or AI enhancements to have a good picture.

Re: Rodent: A Gopher client for new and old computers

Thanks sizeofcat! After 3 weeks of being away due to work and a much needed vacation, I'll resume working on it. I already have the code compiling under VC++ 6, so it should work on Windows 95 all the way up to Windows 11.

Re: Rodent: A Gopher client for new and old computers

It's currently exactly 1AM here in Portugal, and I'm glad to report that I'm ready to fulfill my contractual obligations. Here's the binary of a very early release of the client. A lot of polishing is still needed, specially the URL parsing algorithm (don't try funny things, it will break badly). It...

Re: Rodent: A Gopher client for new and old computers

With the last commit I've finished implementing the directory fetching on a separate thread, which means all I need to do now is create a download dialog, move the downloading routines to a separate thread, and I'm ready to fulfill my contractual obligation with unsigned and release a binary. Althou...

This is how far I'm willing to work on it for today. Tomorrow I'll try to get it to the state promised to unsigned so that I can finally release binaries into the wild.

Re: Rodent: A Gopher client for new and old computers

Oh wow, this is really nice! Have you thought about also adding Gemini support sometime in the future? Thanks! I would like to also build something for Gemini, although that would force me to write a rendering engine, something I'm not very fond of trying right now haha. This client is using a List...

Rodent: A Gopher client for new and old computers

I've been meaning to post more things on the forum, and since the only thing I've been working on as of late is this project I figured it would be nice to catalog its development history here. As part of OCC 2024 I've been writing a native Gopher client (you can read more about it's OCC origin here ...
