So. Basic Military Training's been over for a month plus. Have mostly settled into my new posting. Life is coming back to 'normal', or as normal as switching to a full time job after 12 years of school can be.
I don't know whether or not I like it so far. The job itself is quite nice, and I mostly like what I'm doing. The time isn't too bad - in school I'd get out at 4:40 daily, and now I get out at 5:30 instead. But the hour later is offset by not having to do any work when I get home. So it kind of balances out. We'll see how it gets as time goes on.
And the pay is... better than nothing. Marking the end of 1 month and 1 week of work, I bought a lens that cost ~1.25 months worth of pay. (After 40% second hand discount too. ) I spent the morning testing it out with a friend, and I'll say it's very very nice. It's a macro lens, and you can see a few of the pictures here - kyl191.deviantart.com/gallery/…
So I'll be working on my photography on the weekends too, likely - I've already signed up to go out shooting next Saturday with a group from the local photography forum. I'll also be working on Chemistry - turns out for my course at uni, I'll need Chemistry because Software Engineering falls under the Engineering department, which requires Chemistry. So I have to do a distance learning thing for that.
I've got a few other projects to work on too, which may or may not come to fruition. But that's enough for now.
Have a good day, reader. XD

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?
