Summarizing the +[CL-WWWism][cl-www-summary] work, I've come to the conclusion that +it's wiser to use whatever Republican infrastructure there is than +attempt to reinvent the wheel out of arbitrary considerations. And +although I think I made the right choice, this doesn't mean I should +throw all that other stuff down the drain, so... + +So, as a first step I published all that code I've been studying +and/or using for a while: [Hunchentoot][hunchentoot-genesis], some +[improvements][botworks-patches] to Feedbot and [the +scaffolding][tlbs-genesis] for this blog; and since code's not +everything in this life, there's them [photo][kavarna] +[blogs][targoviste] for the eye to enjoy. + +Now the first week of October is almost over after using up a good +chunk of my time to [document my latest trip][targoviste], and another +good chunk to lay out the plan for this month and write code that I'm +to publish this month. Thus, for M10, I'm committing to the following: + +* Week **41**: make my MP-WP blog public and iron out any problems + that might appear -- I currently have a private instance in place + and the Wordpress theme is almost there, but I haven't imported the + old posts, nor have I tested comments, trackbacks, or the selection + script. +* Week **42**: publish a bunch of MP-WP-related patches, the more + important part being an importer for [thetarpit-lbs][tlbs-genesis] + posts into MP-WP. +* Week **43**: read, play with and sign Asciilifeform's + [logotron][logotron-genesis]. Ideally I should be able to stand up + my own logger by the end of said week, but I'm [still + undecided][logz-1000287] whether to try using the [cl-irc + logger][logbot-genesis] as a backend or switch over completely to + the Python bot. As mentioned, spykedbot still has some usefuls in + its bag, and I'm still wondering whether I should just port that to + the current Republican bot. +* Week **44**: Speaking of bots, I've a few ideas to improve my + [Feedbot][botworks-patches] maintenance workflow, including + auto-connection and further decoupling of the "checker" (the part + which makes HTTP requests to RSS feeds) from the "announcer" (the + part which sends out IRC notifications). + +Further, it's not yet entirely clear to me what M11 will consist of, +so I need to review both the big to-do list and the logs to get a +better idea of the most pressing problems that I should start working +on. There's a shitton of them, so any suggestions are as usual more +than welcome. + +Finally, this is the last post on this "half-a-blog" +[thetarpit-lbs][tlbs-genesis] platform, I will preserve it somewhere +and bid it au revoir -- who knows, maybe not quite adieu? All the +following articles will be published on the MP-WP blog, which is +funny, given that I wrote this to-be-ex-blog-scaffolding trying to get +rid of Wordpress. On the other hand, you'll finally be able to +interact directly with these posts through comments etc., so... win! + +[tmsr-work-v]: /posts/y06/09e-tmsr-work-v.html +[cl-www-summary]: /posts/y06/0a0-cl-www-summary.html#selection-210.0-210.12 +[hunchentoot-genesis]: /posts/y06/09f-hunchentoot-genesis.html +[botworks-patches]: /posts/y06/0a2-botworks-viii.html +[tlbs-genesis]: /posts/y06/0a3-thetarpit-lbs-genesis.html +[kavarna]: /posts/y06/0a1-kavarna.html +[targoviste]: /posts/y06/0a4-targoviste.html +[logotron-genesis]: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=3452 +[logz-1000287]: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/spyked/2019-10-03#1000287 +[logbot-genesis]: http://trinque.org/2016/08/11/logbot-genesis/
