Been very quiet for quite some time, so may as well provide a small update to
the handful of bots and webscrapers that visit this site. A project that I have
been working on for some time has been fully deployed, and I'm getting ever
closer to showing it off to a wider audience, once I've finished up an feature
or two. If you've been snooping around my GitHub account
or some of the repository's I have on there, then you may be able to find out
what it is. The next post I make here will be an introduction to this project.
Once I've shown this off to a wider audience I intend on writing some more
posts here too about the project itself, and some of the approaches I took to
building it.
It has been too long since my last post in which I
announced mgrt, the simple
SQL migration tool. Has much happened between then and now? Well, I showed off
mgrt to some people with little fanfare, and got around to implementing TLS
support for the tool. Right now it supports TLS for PostgreSQL, and to a certain
extent MySQL/MariaDB. And during my further developments of the tool itself I
have come to realise how much I truly despise working with MySQL. My feelings
for it are all superficial, so they hardly warrant a tangent.
It's been almost a month since my last
post, in which I detailed what
I hoped to achieve in regards to this blog, and to a slightly further extent
this year.
2019 is around the corner, and it has been 2 months since the
first post I made on this blog,
though I doubt anyone is actively following/reading. I have done very little to
advertise it so what should I expect? However I think now is an apt time to
justify the purpose of this blog, and layout some of the things I would like to
achieve in the coming year.
