It's been 4 days since my lease started at this new apartment. There are still some boxes around that I have yet to unpack and the walls remain undecorated. Lately I've been trying to get all the electronics around the place set up. From digging up old roku devices to playing around with wiring configurations to trying to balance my limited supply of power strips to the places that need them most, I've been a little busy.
In preperation for my third year of college, I have been scrambling to get a new job to pay rent, filling out the last of the forms I need to get a loan (first time since I was able to pay my first two years on scholarships alone), and I've been trying to figure out the best schedule for me to study when classes get heavy and time gets short.
The first version of my publishing script has been finished, glog.py scans my files for any file ending in .gmi, excludes index.gmi, and then tries to sort each file by date. Like many personal use scripts, it's not very portable. I know somewhere in it I have hardcoded the path to my gemlog directory and I'm sure that any .gmi file that doesn't fit my file format will break it like nothing. I guess at some point in coding a script you have to consider the scope of the project. There are plenty of scripts out there that will do what glog.py does far better and more portably, hell the script I stole for my last gemlog would spit out a whole atom.xml file for me, which this one does not. But having a script that I made myself and understand enough to tweak on my on my own is worth a whole lot more than porability features that only matter when setting up a new log in a new environment.
That's all for today
