Status update, November 2024

Most of my open source work this month has been on confluence-wiki-sync, as part of my company’s hackathon week. I’m happy about that week because I got quite a few things done. Besides quality of life improvements, small refactorings and bug fixing, the main feature is that the script now supports images! Creating a document that links to an image will now attach the image to the wiki page and make it visible on Confluence.

I’m pretty happy with the state of that project. It just works, and takes very little time during the year. Mostly I just monitor new versions of dependencies and keep that up to date.

In GTG land, my single commit has been to remove references to liblarch, a library that had originally been written to facilitate handling GTG’s data structure. It hasn’t been used since the GTK4 migration, so I removed it from the README and the build scripts. This is part of my goal of making it easier to get started with GTG.

I also have spent some time debugging a situation where a newly created task is just not saved. This is quite an annoying bug for a task manager, but I have hope that the fix is pretty simple.

The next update will probably also have a bit less GTG than usual, and more Advent of Code :)
