pharc4 in good shape | |
Saturday Jan 4 6:54:53 2014 | |
Today I've been working hard on 'pharc4' which will be known as | |
'pharc v.4.0' when it is released, some time during the current yea | |
This is what I usually do: | |
I release 'pharc v.X' and use it. Once it has been successful, I | |
start working on the next version that I call 'pharcX' until it is | |
ready for release. The good/bad thing about it is that I usually | |
finish the coding part during January and I do not release until th | |
end of the year, so I can procrastinate a little bit for almost one | |
entire year! | |
Well, after all, the hardest part is already done (31 git commits | |
today), so I can take my time. When the release date is near, I wor | |
on the .deb package and update the wiki page to reflect the changel | |
with longer explanations. And last but not least I check that the | |
cron job is ok. At the moment of the release 'pharcX' becomes 'phar | |
v.X'. | |
To tell you the truth, most of today's commits were very simple, | |
comments and cosmetic stuff but the most important objective for th | |
version is already achieved: Add functionality to choose the year o | |
the archive. | |
'pharc' is meant to be used non-interactively. The idea behind it, | |
that you can be celebrating New Year's Eve with your family and | |
friends and meanwhile, 'pharc' is working for you and archiving all | |
the blog posts of the year. BUT, in case you want to use it | |
interactively, it has some added options that allow you to do that. | |
In short, it can work interactively or non-interactively. It is up | |
you to decide. | |
And again, no, it is not a great piece of software. I'm not a | |
programmer, just a hobbyist. It started as a script for personal us | |
that is maintained and slightly improved after its publication back | |
in 2011. | |
I hope you find it useful and have as much fun as I do while workin | |
on it. | |
ps, also, one of the reasons why I've been working so hard on it, i | |
that it is raining outside so I have to stay in. That's the truth : | |
