DevLog #11
Well, looks like I somehow caught a severe case of “summer blues” last year, that’s why I didn’t code much in my spare time in the last couple of months. But now I’m slowly getting back in the saddle.
One hindrance remains: I really need a new PC! I know, bad timing for buying such stuff, but the slowness of my current machine actually breaks the little bit of flow/being-in-the-zone that I have left on some days. Now I need to bring me up-to-date on what the state-of-the-art PC technology is…
Anyways, here’s a short break down on some of the things that I could accomplish in the meantime nevertheless:
- The Nifty Oddity Toolkit:
- Added
TNOT::TextUtilities::replacePlaceholder() - Updated
TNOT::TextUtilities::joinStrings()andTNOT::TextUtilities::splitString()
- Added
- Updated Hotkey to version 1.1, which adds hotkeys for german umlaut insertion.
- Picked up the work on my Jukebox project again (the repository is not yet public, and I’m also not sure about the name); playing around with TagLib and SQLite for that.
- Some additions to my Powershell Code Snippets collection
- A little update to my git-helper.py script, which now also checks the ahead/behind-status of the remotes.
- Added a better/local/real search functionality to this very site (saoe.net), based on a JSON array and a bit of JavaScript; it replaces the Google Site Search, which never worked well here anyways. The knowlegde and code for it comes mostly from a german blog post, with a bit of customization for my own purposes.
