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 :
