<html><head></head><body>I love SQLite. Use thay sh@t everywhere. My JSON has expanded too. I use it now for package data and am moving configs from an INI format to JSON.<br>
<br>
IoT likes JSON so using it there I grew to like it over my old standby of XML. Going between JSON and hashes in Perl is a breeze. I also started using it as program output when the java developers call one of my programs. Easier for them than parsing strings on STDOUT. Instead, I print the JSON on STDOUT.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Last night's fun was mostly turning working local code into a package. <br />Kludges to the left of me, relative dirs to the right, and here I am...<br /><br />It was fun to face the challenge. It was less fun to again get the "you <br />should upgrade" thing on IRC. Few IRC Rubyists seem to care that <br />upgrades take time and planning on large server farms, and if I'm not <br />giving much in value then there's no ROI on the upgrade.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.reuel.net/2016/08/using-ruby-187-for-fun-and-uh-fun.html">http://blog.reuel.net/2016/08/using-ruby-187-for-fun-and-uh-fun.html</a><br /><br />Sorry, having some whine with the morning coffee. What was cool was <br />reading the language code to get better clues as to why my code was <br />failing, fixing those issues, and then starting to fix new issues raised <br />by package installation.<br /><br />Part of the challenge is getting larger projects in my portfolio. Since <br />my day job isn't coding I'm working after hours on things that please <br />me. That pleasure, like last night, helps push past the "dang, it failed <br />again".<br /><br />Of course, the idea crosses the mind to put my code's data into portable <br />formats like json and sqlite, and then write basic ports into different <br />languages. I already have some Go code doing that.<br /><br />Also, yesterday wasn't a great day. Reading your wisdom really helped me <br />keep a good attitude at work.
