I am not really working on anything new as such, but I am mostly just polishing existing workflows. For instance, the task for today will be to use mechanize (in ruby) to automatically tap into a webservice which I use manually right now via a browser interface. I want to do this all from the commandline next. (Ideally I'd not want to depend on this and do it locally, but it does various things with .pdf files which I have not yet been able to do myself. ghostscript is surprisingly awful, and while there may be alternatives, I am not too familiar with all of what they can do, whereas the webservice really has all pdf-related tasks already solved, as-is, including optimising for size. For some reason ghostscript produces much worse results, from A to Z.) Nothing too interesting though. I have more interesting projects, but these have to come after I focus on more pressing reallife requirements; on my next todo list, though, I want to extend the code I use to compile from source. I track almost 4000 programs already and can compile most of these (for some reason GCC 16.2.0 does not want to compile today); I want to extend this, finishing an automatic build of the linux kernel and full bootstrap into a new system while also adding more language bindings, such as lua. And also allow for this to be compilable via a web-interface.) | ||
