Roger's world

I have nothing but praise for the Harmony Remote, I touched one multiple times a day for 25 years, went through multiple models, and bought them for friends and family.

I've implemented full async support in APSW with documentation here.

I first watched the Babylon 5 TV show smeared over 5 years three decades ago!

I noticed that a fair bit of my home tech had changed recently.

APSW is my Python SQLite wrapper that glues together the Python C API and the SQLite C API, so you can use SQLite from Python.

SQLite is really easy to compile into your application.

TLDR: APSW now has comprehensive support for SQLite Full Text Search.

I recently implemented Unicode Technical Report #29 which covers how to turn "text" into "letters", words, and sentences.

APSW is my Python wrapper for SQLite's C interface gluing it to Pythons C interface.

I've been using XFCE for about a decade, after switching from Gnome.

It has been over a year since I stopped running my own email server for me and a few friends.

This release of APSW (my Python wrapper for SQLite's C interface) is the last that will support Python 2, and earlier versions of Python 3 (before 3.7).

Does a physical photo you never look at really exist?

A while ago I was flying across the Atlantic in a half full $250 million Boeing 747, wondering how it all worked financially.

It turns out the metric system has completely won, but some just haven't realised it yet!

I wrote a bunch of stuff over the last 10 years.

Python 2 has come to an end.

I'm a fan of podcasts and especially longer form history podcasts.

I've been wondering what best practise for handling defaults is.
