New personal project: GUP
There are three things that annoy me: the first is doing the same thing over and over again. The second thing is an automation tool that doesn’t work. The third thing is code with some magical variables[1].
So, there you have the problem I had with galleryadd.pl, a perl script to upload pictures to Web Gallery 2.0. It tries to solve the first problem, but fall in the other two.
So, to solve my problem, I started a new project: GUP (Gallery UPload). There isn’t a release yet as it isn’t doing what it is supposedly to do, but it going nice and easy. One nice thing about it is the chance to test some new concepts I got after reading “Dive Into Python”. If you want to check how this is going, the SVN repository is open for checkout. Once I complete the upload, I’ll add it the projects page and post a tarball.
[1] Like some global variable that isn’t explicitly filled, but used in several places (like when someone pass it to a function to be filled).
