Checked that I had the right number of bars spare in the Satie piece

Yet another social networking site. Don’t know how much I’ll use it, but at least it got me thinking about my books and realising the vast number I have sitting on shelves that I haven’t read yet.

It’s been sitting about waiting to be finished for weeks now, but now it’s one step closer. Yay!

This one’s a little more complicated than can be explained in just a title. At work they’re trying to implement a new course-construction tool called eXe which is an open-source software product, and pretty neat – but it lacked any facility to customise the html template in which it exports, which is something we really really need it to do. Anyway, so, I’ve never used the Unix command line (terminal in Mac OS X), never worked on an open source project, never programmed in Python. It took me pretty much 2-3 days to (a) get the source code and (b) manage to build it so that it would run, which I couldn’t have done without the very kind help of one of the devs in NZ. But I got there in the end… and within a couple of hours had added/changed enough of my own code to get it to pick up a custom template placed in the folder containing the custom stylesheets. So now I’m tweaking this and seeing how far I can push it, but the big breakthrough was that point where I managed to code an app in a language I’ve never used and get it to work – wheeeeee!
