Google Support Chat

Ew. Support.

While I don't think Google's support chat is any worse than other companies (low bar), one interesting thing that I found was that their text input on the support chatbox...barely works. It just doesn't want to take focus and let me type half the time. Which is …

TV Review - 24

Recently Watched the DougDoug "Previously on 24" and that inspired me to rewatch 24. It's a fairly exciting show, even if the technobabble is egregious in its use. Fun little break while I'm ending the year. We're def going to try and do a post a day again!

Caddyfile to run Godot XR

Basic Caddyfile to run an exported GodotXR game.

I only have a Quest 2 for testing, because sometimes exporting for android and sideloading onto the quest can be a pain, so I'd like to use WebXR to output projects and hopefully speed up the development cycle. And have things be …

FastAPI - love it.

I just discovered this library, and wow, it is nice. I was able to build a full example, with test coverage, in only a few hours. It's a perfect fit for harp too, since it allows me to break apart the 4 main functions better. Yay for progress.

Improving my helper script.

Failure

I've totally failed the write a post challenge. Not too much has gone on. Most of my time has been spent either working, playing guild wars, or reading. It's been a quiet time.

Thankfully playing guild wars has really helped me in a work setting, allowing me to better conceptualize …

Godot, VR, tiny shooting gallery.

I found this video on Mastodon, demonstrating a basic VR test game, so I decided to make it myself, and post some of my thoughts.

The good.

The framework is super easy to work with, and has a lot of batteries included to making a VR game. I didn't have …
