Building Chromium & V8 with Visual Studio 2026: December 2025
I don't have to build Chrome (or v8) regularly. But I've had a recent occasion to look in the source code to explain an odd behaviour that I was seeing. In doing so, I revisited the steps for how to build Chrome on Windows. The steps evolve over time. This time around I decided that I would use Visual Studio 2026 to perform the build.

I needed a copy of TOPOEDIT (Windows Media Foundation Topology Editor) to test something. It was initially released with the Windows Vista SDK and can also be found in the Windows 7 SDK. I ended up extracting and building from the 7 SDK

Remote Access Hardware (PiKVM)
Remote Desktop tends to work well for me provided that the computer is turned on, booted up, and not locked up. If those conditions are not met, physical interaction is needed. There have been a few times when my computer is hibernating, but I realize I need to…

Remote Desktop tends to work well for me provided that the computer is turned on, booted up, and not locked up. If those conditions are not met, physical interaction is needed. There have been a few times when my computer is hibernating, but I realize I need to access. Today, I'm writing about one of the solutions that I'm using for this.

I started to clone the Chromium repository. Then I had several meetings, phone calls, and lunch. Forgot I had started the clone. I came back much later to find it was still cloning.

Imagine being in the office and realizing you need files on a computer at home that went to sleep. There is someone there, but they say they are too busy to touch the keyboard to wake up the computer.

Age Verification on Android and iOS, Sideloading for Verified Apps Only
Google is making some changes to Android that make it more restrictive than I've previously thought of it. Age verification for apps is coming to Android, and side loading is being restricted to apps that have been "verified"…

Looks that Android is going Age Verification now. And app developers are going to have a duty in it, too.

I was helping a developer perform some setup. I had her type a command to perform an action. She asked what the commands name stood for.
"I don't know. It was from before my time."
She thought I was making a joke. I looked up the origin. AT&T added the command to Unix in 1971.

Yay! I found a mini Minecraft server written in C. I'm going to convert this over to C++ and refactor it to get rid of the raw pointers. Then I may try to do something with it.

On windows, the command line tool mklink.exe is used to create symbolic links, junctions, and hard links. But what are those? I'll first mention a couple of scenarios where they may be helpful. Let's say that you have a content-driven system. You have multiple versions of your content sets on the file system. Each complete set is in its own folder.

Like, what the heck! I got a Java Card and the encryption keys for it were present in the listing. In one of the keys, the digit character 3 is replaced with the Cyrillic letter З (That's not a digit!). That is next to impossible to find!
