Progress on assorted projects | /blog/assets/NanomonestotseVillage.png | -20% |
Today is pretty thin, holiday-wise, but today does happen to be the start of Nanomonestotse, an autumnal celebration of peace observed by assorted Native American communities. It's a nice, calm holiday that involves self-reflection and---coincidentally, I assume---some of my favorite foods. May peace dwell in our village, because I'm never going to turn down a good holiday.
If you're part of a more global audience and don't like sweet potatoes, tomorrow is also the third World Statistics Day, the first in five years, because only a statistician would enjoy a holiday that only comes around once every five years, I guess. So dust off your 𝛘2s and...OK, I don't actually have anything, there.
As for projects...
Entropy Arbitrage
I realized that I never set up the HTTP 404 error page correctly. It took a couple of tries, since I messed up the path, but there's now something there.
While that change was being made, I realized that the README file was missing some critical information for reusing the code, so I added it.
Replybrary
I started a new project, this week, a simple Twitter bot that will---soon, ideally---reply to requests with sample URLs based on keywords. My thought is that it will be more useful than needing to track down various news articles that I want to mention frequently.
So far, I only have a loose frame that prints tweets sent to it, and previously had the script post a tweet. So, it shouldn't be difficult to finish the project.
Once it's done, I'll throw together a Wednesday tech tip on how to get a project like this running.
Other
I added a quick script to my Small Things repository that takes CSV output from Vulgar---which I sometimes use for projects where I need text that looks foreign---sorts it by how well the words rhyme and adds a syllable count for each term. It's extremely easy to handle both tasks, given that one of the columns is in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
