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 Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (chronicle) was out of date.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.

And, again, I hit something which is causing massive disk performance issues. That, and suspend/resume does not work on either laptop.

I would try to debug the issues, but that means learning a whole new set of tools, and I will not have time for a while. Next week, I am in week long meetings which will run late every day, and then I have to finish writing and present a training class the last week of the month. The hour or two I can spare will be far better spent for me by backup, re-installing ArchLinux than by starting to learn the tools. Yes, a bit of a cop-out, but I need the machines to do what I need to do. I will keep the servers FreeBSD, however, as it works great there.

So, even though I have been starting to [work with <back2freebsd-maybe>]{role=“doc”} [FreeBSD <freebsd-switch>]{role=“doc”} [again <one-step-closer>]{role=“doc”} , I am still running ArchLinux on my workstation.

And I wanted to run a script I wrote a long time ago to support a website of mine, which I have not updated in a while. The way I would update the site is by doing some batch editing of photos, park them in a directory, and then run my script which pushes the photos to the web server, and then interfaces with the CMS software to schedule the posts and all is good.
