Just discovered you could create a notification with notify-send with multiple buttons (-A "foo" -A "bar") and it's kind of nice.

I think I will finally do those scripts notifying user about long-due upgrades, end of life distro, your disk is about to be full, and your ram is full.

MFW...One could do visual novell with those notif.

...It's a terrible idea, buuuuuuut. That's almost added motive at this point.

Spending some of my #christmas #vacation #geeking around with #vintagecomputing and getting reacquainted with developing software for #msdos. Last time I did that must have been in the early #90s before I discovered #Linux.

So far I've given the #djgpp C compiler a go, but it seems a little messy and keep throwing internal errors. #OpenWatcom v2 seems promising, but has a horrible way of doing interrupt calls. The #borland suites seems outdated, but does come with a lot of libraries that the others don't have. I don't believe it can generate protected mode executables though.

Im actually only looking to do a couple of simple tools, and perhaps some sort of menu/launcher that can scan recursively for configuration files. For the ladder, word around the campfire is that #pdcurses is pretty good at drawing menus and other components in text mode. I'll investigate! Would be a new experience NOT starting by writing my own library for addressing the text mode screen directly.. AGAIN.. 😜

Du coup j'en ai fait un petit billet parce que je suis contente #geeking

I joined Mastodon in November, posted a bunch for 2 months, and then stopped I wasn't finding much discussion about #photography which I was looking for at the time, just lots of people posting their shots.I hadn't really figured out how I wanted to use Mastodon outside of looking for discussion.

Now, I'm back. I'm just going to post about whatever I happen to be #geeking out about at the moment. If I can spark up conversation, that would be great. Otherwise, this will just be my place to share
