After 14 years a brand new #Stargate TV series is in development, with the original movie and tv show creators on board

Told myself I'll just watch one episode, ended up watching 8 in a row. Mind you, I dislike binge watching because I always end up with an extrovert hangover. (Meaning, my extrovert self is upset I've deprived myself of the outdoors and people for so long), but man, this was good. I have such vague memories of the book, because I read it when I was 14, and remember falling in love with the law of Robotics and how complicated (yet well developed) the futuristic world was. But I definitely love how smartly this series weaves high falutin' math concepts to the fate of the world. And in our world of algorithms, this seems more "realistic" now, to be able to predict the future with math.
Favourite characters: the various Cleons, Hari, Dermezel and Gaal. But oddly I like the "bad" guys more because honestly, I realise they're just stuck in a rotten system Cleon I forced them into.
Also, Lee Pace? You be bringing serious Thranduil vibes with your voice teehee
Tab Shelf 2025.2.2 is now available on the Chrome Web Store (still pending review on Edge Extensions at the time of posting).
This release focuses on fixing a performance regression and squashing bugs around tab group customization.

I haven't posted here in ages! My little browser extension, Tab Shelf, is still alive.
I've submitted Tab Shelf 2025.2.2 to the Chrome Web Store and Edge Extensions for review. Development took longer than anticipated as the fix for the tab group color mapping issue required a bit of a rewrite under the hood.

Just a quick update on Tab Shelf development!
I basically restarted work on version 2024.4.0 with a less radical redesign than originally planned. Lots of work has gone into performance fixes (random crashes and intense CPU/memory usage issues have been resolved). Most newer features have been pushed back to version 2024.5.0.
