Well... NS is just about here. I enlist 4th Jan, but well be putting things in order over the next few days, so I'm not going to be on much, if at all. This'll also be my goodbye 2009/hello 2010 post.
===
So. 2009. As a year, ok I guess. Could have done more no doubt, could have done with less of some other things. Compulsory school is over, so that's nice. I can safely say that I'm glad it's over. Maybe that opinion will change, but I doubt it.
2010 is going to be the start of a new chapter of my life. It's appropriate, I think, that I'm enlisting at the very start of the year. The same day I'd normally go back to school, January 4th. Kind of makes the break more... obvious, somehow. We'll see how it goes. Still not too sure what to expect, accounts that I hear vary dramatically.
And while I'd bet that I'm going to choose to redo my IB Math paper at the end of the year (I need a good grade in Math, and while I think I did ok, I'm fairly sure that I should be able to do better. But we'll see.), leaving school is nice. It's a change from what I've had to do the past 12 years, and I like change. Usually.
===
And finally, because tagged me on this, what the heck. I'll do it.
Rules
1. Post these rules on your Journal.
2. Each tagged person must write 10 things about themselves.
3. At the end, you have to choose and put up ten people that you want to tag, and put them up in your journal.
4. Go to their page and say "I tagged you!"
5. Have fun!
So... 10 things about me that you might not know. (Because posting 10 things about me that you know would be a cop out. Though I'm tempted...)
1. Virtually everything I read I voice aloud in my mind. (Which is why I sometimes say "that just... sounds strange".)
2. I have a strange memory. I can and do remember random inconsequential things, which usually surprise people when I mention it, but have trouble remembering other stuff.
3. I am generally clueless with regards to social stuff and cues. For better or for worse.
4. My music tastes cannot be categorized easily. My current playlist contains classical music, instrumental, movie and game soundtracks (both instumental and vocal-based) and electronic/trance stuff.
5. Monty Python is awesome.
6. In the future, if I can, I would have a small house in the middle of nowhere as a home along with a shoebox apartment in a city just to sleep before work. The house will probably be 1 story and a basement. With a study, bedroom (+ spare), kitchen, and the basement will be soundproofed. I will have awesome speakers and a nice computer system setup, and I shall tend to hole up in it and ignore the world except the part which is shown on the monitor.
7. I can and do lapse into Chinese for fun. 为什么? 因为是很好玩!
8. Related to the above, I sometimes find attacking an arcane problem with one of my computers generally infuriating, but after everything is said I done, find out that I quite enjoyed it actually.
9. At its peak, I had approximately 8 PCs in my room in various states of repair. Approximately 8 because together I had enough bits for 7 working ones and some parts left over.
10. I tend to hoard notebooks. Those spiral bound notebooks with hard covers are especially prized. I have no clue why I like notebooks, just that I do.
===
As for the tagging, sorry, but virtually everyone I can tag has already been tagged. Meh. (I won't really be around to check anyway.)
So, good night, good bye and good luck.

Issues and such
Fingers crossed I have everything fixed up, no more random bugs appearing.
Issues I resolved:
dA changing the OAuth requirements, specifically they wanted a new parameter to be addedMy sketchy dev/prod scheme, where I had two git branches, a dev version (viewable on GitHub at https://github.com/kyl191/lr-stash), and the production version, which differed from the dev version in the API key that was used. Now everything is consolidated on the dev branch.My build system - now it's mostly properly set up. No more pulling from GitHub, building, manual futzing around with the Auth configuration file (remember, separate branches between dev and p
I pronounce Sta.sh's folders seriously janky
As far as I can tell, every uploaded file is being put in a new folder. Every one. They may look like individual files in sta.sh, but really, it's they're just folders with a single photo in them.
And naturally, my plugin attempts to follow the documentation. It keeps track of the folderId of the last photo (which is helpfully returned by Sta.sh), since, you know, if you pass in a specific folderId, you'd expect it the photo to be given back with the same folderId that you passed in, and it's "better" than just using a folder name.
Clearly, for various degrees of 'better'.
And so my plugin broke. Badly. It would get a folderId back for the
Initial release of Lightroom Export to Sta.sh
So... a few weeks after I first thought up the idea, I'm officially releasing my Lightroom plugin for Sta.sh, as far as emailing links to people is 'official'.
The plugin exports the IPTC Title, IPTC Caption and any keywords you have tagged the image with, as well as the image to Sta.sh. From there, you can submit to your dA gallery.
If you only care about the plugin, go to the page in dA (http://kyl191.deviantart.com/art/Lightroom-Export-to-Sta-sh-278275666) and download it from there.
If you want to read about my impressions of stuff during the development, well, read on:
The actual coding was deceptively easy. I had the barebones of th
Wait, what?
What's with the surge in my pageviews? (Averaging 2-5/day, and suddenly I'm at 42 and counting today.)
Last time I had the spike was almost exactly a year ago after being linked to by Twokinds (https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds), so I'm wondering what I've managed to do now... Only new thing is my Lightroom plugin for Sta.sh, but that's still only at 11 views...
Any visitors care to enlighten me?
