Because no one asked...
I felt Dr X was a pointless addition to the "make a face lollipop sticks" of the 1970s Count Dracula(r) ice lollies.
So I have reworked them to include a gargoyle face instead... you know.. for reasons.
Anyone who was alive in the 70s will appreciate this, on various levels.
Lolly-trace-a-face? I can't remember.

Coding in #C ... sometimes I really enjoy just using what I created a long time ago

This is the whole change to #Xmoji allowing it to fork into background on startup:
https://github.com/Zirias/xmoji/commit/0ab2d8ed424ebc35aa99e5c2bd15b097a5e74b42
It's the first step to implementing an (optional) single-instance mode, that will only allow one running instance per user and machine. Implementing that will require a local #Unix domain #socket, which is also covered by the same library, #poser
.
I designed this library for (simple and small) #networking #daemons, but found it's quite useful for #X11 applications as well. If you want to know more, here are the docs:

Whereas the #Daemons gave us the happiest and most triumphant ending to a season the #GreenDeath gives us the saddest and I genuinely love them both #DoctorWho

Having watched the #TimeMonster now I'm no clearer on whether this is before or after the #Daemons from the Masters perspective. Any thoughts? #DoctorWho
#daemons are beasts.
I wanted to have a common base for a daemon start/status/stop script that runs on #linux and #bsd variants.
But that requires lots of platform-IF lines.
#systemd is still compatible with LSB init scripts when some additional env-variables are set.
Surprisingly #OpenBSD is quite different from the #FreeBSD #NetBSD way of doing daemon scripts.
It's weird that every #unix clone tries to reinvent the wheel (not only the group ) differently when it comes to admin tasks.
"Sergeant, we must do the fertility dance to celebrate!" Something definitely happens between Olive and John after the fertility dance. Why didn't they end up married? Disappointed this isn't the way the novels went in the 90's #DoctorWho #Daemons
The Master being finally captured makes this feel not just like the end of the story but legitimately like a season finale. It won't be long until he is back but the show won't be the same without him #DoctorWho #Daemons
Benton, Benton, Benton. He is supposed to be guarding the Master and yet he lets him take off his cloak and throw it over him. His reaction is ridiculously funny. More evidence he is secretly working with the Master I suppose... #DoctorWho #Daemons
I can't believe that they blew up a church just for a couple of second footage. Someone should complain to the BBC! This looks quite good on the version I'm watching and probably better on a B&W set #DoctorWho #Daemons
From an emotional perspective this ending makes sense but not from a logical one. Azal isn't a computer, he can't just say does not compute and blow up. It is a shame that one of the best stories has one of the weakest endings #DoctorWho #Daemons
Bok folding his arms as he stands in the gateway is one of the most unintentionally funny scenes in the whole story #DoctorWho #Daemons
There is a lot about this ending I don't understand. Azal states that "My instructions are precise. I bequeath my power or I destroy all." If this is an experiment why does he need to bequeath his powers? #DoctorWho #Daemons
"What was the bounder's name? Hitler. Yes, that's right, Adolf Hitler" The Third Doctor is not one for understatement. Not sure bounder is the first word that comes to my mind #DoctorWho #Daemons
"Chap with the wings there. Five rounds rapid!" I couldn't watch this story and not tweet one of the most famous lines in #DoctorWho history #Daemons
He may have been rude to Jo earlier but when he hears that she is in trouble he rushes in to almost certain death without any form of plan. There is a unique connection between these two which can't be denied and I'm struggling to describe #DoctorWho #Daemons
I remember this character in the book being a child so thought I would look up the actors age. Turns out this is Matthew Corbett (i.e. the man behind Sooty and Sweep)!! Watch me be the only person who didn't know... #DoctorWho #Daemons #Sooty
I said it last episode but I really like Osgood, he is my favourite of all the oddball UNIT people we get. I bet no one watching thought 50 years later UNIT would still be run by a Lethbridge Stewart and Osgood. No nepotism in UNIT... #DoctorWho #Daemons
