Well, after 4 years (almost to the day), it is time for me to say good-bye to HP. The team I worked on is a great team who really know their stuff. However, I am a geek, and I want to be doing things with tech, and not talking about tech, and for the most part, talking is all I have been doing. I have learned a lot and was given a chance to do some [traveling <travels>]{role=“doc”} which I do not think I would have been able to do.
So, where am I going? Well, until after I start and get on-boarded, I am not sure how much I can say. It is a financial company based in Houston, so I will not be moving the crew, just changing the direction I commute back to into the sun again.
Stay tuned here for more updates, and I will probably be using this as a place to document some of the new things I learn on the way.
So, with the migration of the AUR to version 4, I looked at the 12 AUR packages I had created over the years which I have not looked at in a long, long time.
The list started out with:
chronicle - A simple blog compiler written in Perl
perl-leocharre-basename - Very basic filename string and path operations such as ext and paths
usbmount - Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices
xlhttp - An Excel spreadsheet (.xls) and PowerPoint (.ppt) to HTML converter
In the end, I only kept xlhttp as I do not use the others anymore. Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (chronicle) was out of date. I disowned all the others, so if you want, you can pick them up.
Edit 2020-04-07: Seems that no one picked up perl-wordpress-api as the link to it no longer works
Once more, off the Las Vegas for to work a trade show. This year, I was
helping present training, so I was tucked away in a basement most of the
trip, and did not get out to do much in the way of sight-seeing aside
from walking around the hotel.
