Growing up in Houston, I have followed our space program off and on. I am also a big reader of Sci-Fi. So, when I heard about the Solar Sail Kickstarter Project from The Planetary Society, I jumped on board. And, while they have raised almost 4 times their goal, I think that this is a project which will have more of an impact on humanity than some of the other projects.

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, 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
• perl-leocharre-cli2 - Some quick help for writing cli scripts
• perl-leocharre-debug - Debug subroutines
• perl-leocharre-dir - Subroutines for general directory needs
• perl-leocharre-strings - Combines string procedures I frequently use
• perl-string-prettify - Subroutines to cleanup a filename and or garble for human eyes
• perl-wordpress-api - Management of Wordpress API objects. Inherits WordPress::XMLRPC and all its methods
• perl-wordpress-cli - Command line access to Wordpress
• perl-wordpress-xmlrpc - API to Wordpress XML RPC calls
• 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 Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (chronicle) was out of date.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.
