I visited Washington, D.C. recently and want to discuss the open-source software I used to navigate the city.

In Act 2, there’s a battle with a big group of enemies and you fight alongside a group of allies.

I recently wanted to use the new Steam Game Recording feature, but I kept running into a really annoying bug - I couldn’t save anything!

One of my Graphics Dump posts integrates three.js and KaTeX into the article itself, which was a first for me.

I use Hugo to build my website (which you can explore the source code to on GitHub.)

I’m excited to announce my next FFXIV-related project, Auracite!

I was working on a project that still uses Qt5 and I wanted to port from Qt’s own foreach keyword.

Hello again, sorry it’s been a while since the last post.

I attended KDE’s Akademy and the Qt Contributor Summit that happened this year.

Note: The IndieGoGo campaign is gone as of August 2025, with the original page deleted.

This is a very exciting month if you’re waiting for more artist-oriented improvements in the Wayland session!

Hello!

So recently JetBrains “properly” released RustRover (after removing the open source Rust plugin.)

I recently moved into a new place, which has a few oddities in it’s walls.

Hello and sorry about the late post.

Oh me, oh my - there’s a lot to talk about!

I didn’t work much on KDE for the first half of March, but still managed to squeeze out some good features and bugfixes.

Note: I don't currently use this method right now, but it still worked well in my experience.

It’s February already, and as expected I didn’t have too much time on my hands this month.

Now it’s full circle, a whole year of KDE has started again!

This a lazy and anti-rant post… I want to shine a light on the fantastic KDE software that I use daily.

So today Apple has released information on how iOS will soon be DMA-compliant.

This is a lighter month due to holidays (and also I’m trying not to burn out), but I tried to fit in a bit of KDE anyway.

I achieved two huge goals this month, which conclude a year (and a few months) of development on both Astra & Novus.

I think this has been a pretty productive year for me.

I’m interested in trying out OpenXR again, the Khronos VR/AR API.

We’re already in November, but I managed to do a lot of work this month which I’m really happy about.

Happy October and other related holidays!

As I’m nearing the release of Astra 0.5.0, and Novus 0.1.0 (which will be it’s initial release) I have been hard at work squashing bugs and adding new features.

Do you have a mixed of Qt and Rust in your project, and dislike how your logs mismatch?

If you’ve worked with Qt for a while, you’re probably well aware of how basic the default log formatting is.

This is a sort-of reply to Herzenschein’s blog post from a few months ago.

I might be busy early next month, so I’m posting this a few days early so I get it out of the way!

Hello!

I’m posting this a little bit earlier this month, because I’ll be busy until next week and won’t have a chance to finish anything.

The month of July is already wrapped up, I can’t believe it!

I wanted to enable server-side decorations in a Wayland client, but didn’t know where to start.

When writing debug graphics, one of the most common shapes you draw are cubes.

We’re about halfway through year!

A little while ago, people suggested that I play INFRA.

Context: Earlier this year, me and my partner got a Playstation 2 as a gift.

I’ve always been fascinated with CSG, as someone who has spent some time messing around in Valve’s Hammer and Unreal Editor.

I can’t believe it’s already the end of May!

In my engine I have a bunch of big data structures used in push constants, shader buffers, and more.

A rant about my experience in my university’s computing program.

Edit: This was written before my projects were switched to Qt6, and I’m not aware of a Qt6 pretty printer solution (if you do, let me know in a comment below.)

Here’s my KDE contributions for this month!

I realized today that I had inadvertently created a static art gallery.

I decided to start a short series of describing weird, obscure Qt behavior!

Another month in the year, another collection of bugfixes and features I contributed to KDE!
