I intended to come up with a Windows Universal app that would do a simple IMZY in a window, be able to keep track of communities, maybe some drag and drop URL swapping, nothing big really - just wanted to get it on the map and be able to drop in API stuff when it came around, and have something to show people. I have big ideas that I often stop working on.
...then I decided I wanted a panel to swing out from the side with options, otherwise it's literally JUST a square with a web browser. That made things ALL the more complicated.
Playing with the split control, need to make a whole separate XAML just for the contents of the slide out, and figure out if I have to do any animation for it or if it will do the slide thing automagically.
I'm working on a handful of smaller projects. One is a spreadsheet to help with renaming movies - it generates a URL that calls an API, from which I get some data on the movie. The next bit is to generate an Ubuntu shell script to do the renaming, and generate a list of movies with low enough scores to justify deleting.
Another app I'm writing in Java takes the directory I keep movies in, iterates through it and grabs titles, and then searches the web for more interesting artwork for it than the default posters that kodi grabs.
A larger one is to build a backend semi-universal scraper for a website I'm planning - but that will have to wait until the weekend.
Turned a Raspberry Pi 3 device into a wireless access point that accesses the internet through an OpenVPN tunnel for private browsing.
I love Raspberry Pi boards. There is something magical about such a powerful device in such a small package.
1.) Updating the UI on my Word bookmarker addon so I can double click the bookmark name instead of having to click on Go. And see if I can make the UI not display the underscore in the bookmark name. 2.) Updating the VBA code for my Amazon wishlist spreadsheet so I can add in highest price as well as lowest when updating. 3.) For work, refactoring the VBA code for my excel spreadsheet advanced filter search of multiple workbooks.
It's been a Microsoft VBA week, is what I'm saying.
