When I grew up it was always a tradition that you put up decorations 12 days before Christmas and took them down 12 days after.

So if you're surprised my living room doesn't look festive yet, that's why I don't view myself as a giant "bah humbug!" in a stripey jumper. 😅

My tea, coffee and biscuit cupboard is finally back at normal levels. This makes me unreasonably happy, and this is probably the most English toot I've ever posted.

This new influx of people means we're going to have to re-explain CWs again, doesn't it?

This is what I mean! SO MANY FEELS 😭

I got bored and remembered I rarely do selfies, so I took some inspiration from @maloki 👍

Now writing docs while bopping along to The Killers "Battleborn" album. Would recommend 👍

People are talking about Bob the Builder again...

Here's LibreOffice 4.0.6.2 (the last version that supported PPC Macs, and was released in October 2013) running on this iBook G4! 😁

OSX Leopard is finally installed on this old iBook G4. I've also got iLife '08 (minus iMovie), iWork '08 and Office 2004.

What you can see in the screenshot is TenFourFox, the pre-quantum version of Firefox that's still maintained for PPC versions of OSX. I've setup the QuickTime Enabler & Perian codec pack, so it *may* be capable of playing web video now.

Finally reached the Leopard installer. The delay from my last toot was because of my decision to keep installing updates for Tiger first until there were none left. It was worth it though imho.

Finally, It's time to begin the OS I wanted to install an hour ago! 😅

And now for the iBook G4. I'll also be replacing the worn down keyboard with this replacement one (once I've given it a jolly good scrub!) #retrocomputing

For those interested, here's Classila (the Mac OS9 port of Firefox) running on a G3 iMac. #retrocomputing

Speaking of old computers, the tricky problem is figuring out how to store them.

On the upside, this limitation does help me avoid an empty bank account 😅

That said, I wouldn't call myself a "discerning" consumer. Pokémon Let's Go was the game that sold me the console 😅

While I'm not super-enthusiastic about the eevee and pikachu stickers on th3 base unit, I do like the appealing yellow and tan joycons that came with my switch.

Tradition is tradition...

I'm pleased to announce that Mastodome 0.2 has now been released!

https://gitlab.com/bobstechsite/mastodome

New features in this desktop Mastodon client:
* Creates toots with content warnings and different privacy levels
* Displays content warnings and image alt text in the toot stream
* Displays full content of Notifications
* Remembers previous logins and provides a passwordless user switcher
* Supports resizing the main window
* Runs on Python 3 and Qt 5

And it just arrived in the mail!

I've not opened it or set it up yet though. The plan is to dangle it like a carrot on a stick in front of myself. I'm not allowed to play it until I finish Mastodome 0.2!

Yes, I am inexplicably awake at 5am on a Sunday. What of it?

...and then there were notifications! Their contents are now displayed instead of just URIs.

Next up is sending toots with content warnings & different privacy levels. 0.2 will be released very soon 🤩

Not even kidding, I had my Mad Catz joystick setup and ready to refresh my piloting skills.

Alas, my makeshift cockpit shall have to wait another day. 😅
