Yeah, the Dalek was OK - but after his massive defeat I think he was too embarrassed to show his face again. His rep shows he hasn't logged in since the end of 2016 ... so chances are CP messages go straight to the Junk pile or he's changed his email.* Pity.
* Or he's doing the work he's paid for instead of hanging around the Lounge. Unlikely, I know, but ...

Ah yes he had political aspirations - I would have thought he would have been snapped up by Boris

I think that's the problem. We either need a single setter (which is hard work over the long run as I found out with TotD) or a rota system. Perhaps a User Group of Setters to decide who does when?

Great minds and all that.

If you can't go with WSO, you are really left with two options:- A permanent CCC setter
- A rota of setters

So like ya know... compiling stuff. Came across a library that needs to be built for a web protocol (RTMP), but it hasn't been maintained in a while. The protocol doesn't need updating itself since its technically deprecated (but still widely used), but the library needs to work with a version of OpenSSL that's not old as dirt (as in less than seven years old).
The irony being this protocol is used everywhere! It's streaming video support. But this lib for it hasn't been updated in forever. Guessing most folks that release this in binary form patch it but don't release the patch.
Ok fine, the changes to pre and post OpenSSL 1.1 code aren't that bad, so I was gonna take a crack at it. However, something told me "why not just Google it first". And lo and behold, MS already made a patch and released it as open source under the MIT license.
vcpkg/ports/librtmp at master ยท microsoft/vcpkg ยท GitHub
So like, MS... open source? MIT license!?  That's cool, and it saved me some trouble of doing this myself.

So I've been working on the client for my ad blocker for about six weeks, and I've been learning WinUI 3.
Did you know that there is no native way to control the size of a top-level window? And you can't set a minimum size like in Forms. Yes, the platform is incomplete.
Fortunately, there is a really good project named WinUIEx[^] that provides features that you'd expect to be in the framework. Like sizing windows and controlling the min, max and close buttons.
Overall, it looks like an exciting way to build applications. Today, I'm trying the GridView control in hopes of getting it to display records from the database.
I'd like to put in a good word for Pluralsight, too. Without one of their courses giving me a good visual overview of the platform, I never would have had the courage to tackle it.
What's the last technology that was new to you?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It's a great site. We even have a CPian or two that's been an instructor there.

I'm also in a project looking for an UI solution. WinUI is not an option as it have to be multiplatform... Avalonia looks promising to me...

I've been working with the Uno platform[^] and I have to admit that I love it. The developers put a lot of effort into creating something that is high performance, and useful. The fact that I can target so many environments with it if I want is just cherry on a particularly exciting cake. My biggest problem with it, and it's not down to Uno itself, is the need to use workloads. I find workloads are just a pain in the proverbial, and these are a Microsoft thing, not an Uno thing.
