When I installed Manjaro on my desktop, I got a new ssd and hard drive so I wouldn’t have to risk wiping the original windows SSD I’ve had for 8 years. I thought I’d install Manjaro and once I’m up and running, I’ll read in the data now that I have larger drives. Well, I faced a simple reminder that Windows isn’t gonna let me leave without a fight and will attempt to hold my data hostage. Drama aside, we can’t have that.
We’ve made a big move in moving everything into packages for the pick-a-gun service. Now we want to use the core package and use those function to build a REST API.
For this implementation, I want to use Gorilla mux, a tried and true request and router dispatcher. I can build routes easily and more importantly, middleware is easy to plug in(more on that later.)
I have begun working on a REST API server with Gorilla for the pick a gun service and imported the core API. I realized that Fyne was getting indirectly imported even when the internal core package doesn’t need it, it just runs on the standard library.
Sure it’s indirect, but I’m trying to keep Fyne in the UI. To eliminate this, I need to finally restructure the ui, cli and core into their own packages. When this started as a small project, I admittedly loosened some of my standards in exchange for faster development. The technical debt isn’t bad but I should take a step back to do some general maintenance of my repo.
When I added to the API, I set the table. When I updated the CLI, I fired up the grill. Tonight, when I update my UI, I will feast. So far the development has been smooth. The API required minimal changes so the CLI and UI we’re easy to work on. Only thing I needed to do was update the images and add some buttons for character selection.
When you’re travelling a lot, hotel Wi-fi can easily become the bane of one’s existence. You leave to do some work for the day and come back, turn on the TV and the wifi is fighting you because it probably has trouble remembering your connection after agreeing to the terms and conditions on their captive portal.
I constantly have to fight with forgetting the connection, reneweing my DHCP lease and I’ve even resorted to chanting incantations for wifi. It’s almost like the Wifi is getting the same design choices as some hotel bathrooms nowadays.
