Having been a bit lazy in not updating my Hugo version since I started which was recently breaking one of my Github actions, I decided do do that.
This lead to an cascading update cycle.
Updating Hugo version broke the theme I was using.
Updating the theme broke the Tweet shortcode, no longer on Twitter so edited those post which referenced my old Twitter account.
Updating the Hugo version, broke the Github Action which was building and uploaded to S3. This was due to newer versions of Hugo now having an “extended” and “with_deploy” versions.
Raised a PR against the Github action to update to use the “with_deploy” version.
Still a couple of deprecated warning and fixing background and social icon links to sort out but at least now running against the latest version of Hugo.
I wrote a simple Python script to monitor the clipboard and write any unique text content out to a YAML file for a history.
It might turn into something better eventually.
Update
Updated to use a settings file for file location and size.
#!/usr/bin/env python3import pyperclip
import time
import yaml
import toml
import os
from yaml.loader import SafeLoader
script_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
settings = toml.load(os.path.join(script_path, "clippy.toml"))
history = settings["history"]
max_size = settings["size"]
cliptext =""clip_array = []
with open(history, "r") as f:
clip_array = list(yaml.load_all(f, Loader=SafeLoader))
clip_array = sum(clip_array, [])
whileTrue:
tmptext = pyperclip.paste()
if tmptext != cliptext:
cliptext = tmptext
if cliptext notin clip_array:
clip_array.insert(0,tmptext)
if len(clip_array) > max_size:
clip_array.pop()
with open(history, "w") as f:
f.write(yaml.dump(clip_array))
time.sleep(1)
It is funny how things come around again, when I started learning to programming back in the 1980s on my 8 bit machines (ZX81, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro) I used to play with graphics a lot.
It gave instant feedback and visually showed the results of things like recursion.
I had great fun playing with Fractals and other procedural generated images.
Recently I discovered a YouTube channel and programming platform which took me right back to those days.
Found mGit App which looks like it would do the job of repo management on Android.
First trial not so good.
Wondering if its an issue with having MFA enabled on my Github account, although using my personal access token instead of the password should work I would have thought.
I’ve submitted an issue on their Github page, so wait and see what they say about it.
