Underrated thread.
It’s totally alien to me but I just stumbled my way through using the shapely Python library to resolve some serious geometry bugs produced when decomposing curves in font glyphs into something PicoVector compatible…

There's *one* feature in macOS Tahoe 26 that actually enticed me to upgrade. At least for one of my Macs. Despite the horrible glassy UI.

So today has been a day of tinkering with my blog. I use the #GetGrav software to run this site after ditching #Wordpress.
I've added some tweaks to the CSS to pull out the logos colours around the site. Center align images and add css to tell sites what to use as an image!

“What’s the point of this if you already have pinout” I … ask myself.
I like the clean look of the Pico microsites and wanted a Pi website to match. It fits snugly on mobile and you can stick it on your Home Screen!
It also has some - hopefully useful - accessibility considerations over Pinout.

I'm clearly never going to get anywhere with pinout-2024... I mean it's most of the way through 2025 already 🤣
I've whipped out the pinout portion and turned it into a microsite, a baby pinout.xyz if you will, sized to fit easily on mobile.
