20:00:17 <jborean93> yo
20:00:24 <nitzmahone> nothing on the agenda so
20:00:27 <nitzmahone> #topic open floor
20:00:31 <nitzmahone> hey all :D
20:00:42 <jborean93> I'm in the process of going through a.w and c.w PRs and should have a new release either today or tomorrow
20:00:51 <briantist> woohoo!
20:00:57 <jborean93> apart from that I've got nothing else to share
20:00:57 <briantist> thanks
20:01:12 <briantist> yeah I've got nothing else either
20:01:28 <nitzmahone> Nothing exciting here- I'll wait until 5 after for any new topics from anywhere else...
20:02:01 <nitzmahone> I went down a rabbithole this weekend that's probably going to result in me writing a UMDF minidriver for something for the first time in > 10 years :D
20:02:25 <jborean93> heh, that's going to end well :)
20:02:33 <nitzmahone> I hope it does, actually ;)
20:03:22 <nitzmahone> Last time I wrote a UMDF minidriver I also built a CLR host for UMDF to make it easier to write said drivers in C#, but my needs are simple enough this time that I don't think that'll be necessary
20:03:41 <briantist> eeeeeenteresting
20:03:58 <jborean93> heh, I've just gone down the rabbit hole of CLR hosting, can't say it's been too fun
20:04:35 <nitzmahone> I would hope the hosting APIs have improved since the last time I tried it.. The removal of AppDomains in the newer CLRs should make things simpler at least I would hope
20:04:59 <jborean93> yea it's actually not too bad, I just had the problem of trying to load the pwsh assembly at the same time
20:05:11 <nitzmahone> oh yeah, that's not going to end well
20:05:24 <nitzmahone> chicken/egg sandwich, anyone? ;)
20:05:27 <jborean93> Plus trying to do it in a new thread made things a bit harder. I eventually got there in the end though
20:06:46 <nitzmahone> Yeah, it's never fun when it's not your process (same problem with the UMDF stuff, since it's their host process loading the driver code)
20:09:09 <nitzmahone> The thing I'm hacking on is trying to make my Bluetooth page turn pedal work under Windows. Most of them only work on IOS/Android because they took some shortcuts with their HID keyboard emulation that prevents them from working under Windows- I think I figured out a way to fix that with a tiny filter driver that just shims the HID driver stack setup.
20:09:26 <nitzmahone> Getting it to a point I can actually build and test will be "fun" since I haven't done driver dev in many years
20:10:22 <briantist> wow that's interesting
20:10:28 <nitzmahone> Anyway, looks like nothing else new for the meeting, so will close that up
