I've been struggling with a clear definition of what I want to
write here on feels vs what I write on my phlog, or my blog, or my
labs blog, or even twtxt. I have a lot of different places I drop
ideas and it's really easy for one to get ignored or the lines to
blur. I think I've got an idea, though. Since feels is set up for
one entry per day, I want to connect it to what's happening right
now in time. Rather than a blog, it's a motd, if you will.
Today is a pretty average one. I woke up, got the kid off to
school, went into work, had my morning coffee, and dove into
emails. I'm working on a project with another company for a shared
client and I received a handoff late last night from them. I'll be
reviewing their changes, the designs provided, and discuss timing
with them in a little bit. Then I'll get started making front-end
updates to this app. Nothing major.
I have a bunch of side projects I'm working on, and if I finish
this work quick enough I have enough client-billable hours to jump
onto one of those things. Here's the top of the list:
A gopher management program for personal use I'm going to call
'burrow', which I intend to replace my newphlog, newfood, and
newrecipe scripts and code in a nice clean modern BASH. It'll
be on my github when done in case anyone wants to fork.
Migrate my weechat settings into a proper, portable dotfile.
I've got weechat set up on SDF just how I like it, but I've
been making all those settings from within the app and /save
ing them. I need to look at how that stuff is structured and
figure out what I can shift into dotfiles without revealing
passwords.
I've been using newsbeuter and then newsboat on my work
macbook air for too long to manage my RSS feeds. I really
wanted to move my setup to SDF since that's where I squat in
shell most of the time, but neither newsbeuter or newsboat
runs properly on their systems. I've got a hacked together
snownews setup, but I really don't like that program. I need
a more permanent solution that is either centralized NOT on my
local machine, or syncs. CLI only. tt-rss is unreliable and
slooooow.
Migrate my todo script from a BASH function to a full program,
with man page and all the trimmings. The hardest part here is
my lack of knowledge around installing command completion.
Command completion is really easy with functions, but I have
no idea how to do it with programs. This will be a big help
for the 'burrow' program as well.
We'll see which of these strikes my fancy when I free up from the
regular stuff. In the meantime...
