Today---probably right as this post is released, but maybe plus or minus an hour or so, plus testing---marks the launch of [**Replybrary**](https://twitter.com/replybrary), a Twitter-bot that tries to provide useful links in political discussions on request.

(Note: The problem with getting this running---besides my own stupidity of allowing typos into the JSON and script---was convincing Node.js to update to a usable version. Somehow, that's a nightmare on my server, even though I obviously did it on my home machine...)

There isn't much to choose from, in terms of holidays, but it happens to be portrait painter [Mary Brewster Hazelton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Brewster_Hazelton)'s birthday, the first woman known to win a non-gendered award---the first Julius Hallgarten Prize---in the United States.

And with that out of the way...on to the code.
## Replybrary
I [launched **Replybrary**]({% post_url 2020-11-22-replybrary %}), yesterday, which has required some cleanup. Most of it has been cleaning the package file and polishing off the ESLint side, but I also decided to log any actual errors and to be sure that the code never gets caught in a loop trying to trim the length of the outgoing message.
I have split this project between the code and data, with the URL file going to [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/jcolag/replybrary-urls). I may try to mirror it back to GitHub, at some point.
## Roku Wake
For some reason, my Roku-based TV has stopped responding to the physical remote control. This has meant using a cheap tablet as a remote, but when the television is in its "sleep mode," it sometimes doesn't respond to the wake-up commands. So, in an attempt to streamline my mornings, I wrote [**Roku Wake**](https://github.com/jcolag/RokuWake), a JavaScript program that tries to find a named Roku device---by substring search---and send the *power* command.
It works less reliably than the tablet app, unfortunately, but it does get through, on occasion.
## Uxuyu
I have *finally* begun the process of taking my notes on [**Uxuyu**](https://github.com/jcolag/Uxuyu) and turning them into [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/jcolag/Uxuyu/issues).
## Next
Well, I have a few more issues to file for **Uxuyu**. Then, there are a couple of minor fixes required for **library-twitterbot** that I just haven't had time to commit. I want to try to mirror the **Replybrary-URLs** repository to GitHub, and I should probably formalize the script I threw together to list the keywords and URLs.
I may also have some translation work to add. But between the holiday and my wanting to get a side project launched soon, I may need to keep this upcoming week as light as possible.
