Monday Morning
As a matter of policy, I don’t get into a lot of details about work. But Friday was pretty rough. Things are better now.
So good, in fact, that there is some free time while I’m waiting for a few things to solidify. I’m using this time to build C# awareness, as it’s about time I got familiar with the golden-haired boy of Microsoft’s modern programming platform.
Every now and then I really want to bust out a Windows-only utility for something, especially when it requires some corner of the Windows API, and Python kind of shuts down there.
I am especially interested in harnessing the MTP support available via WMP 11 to get some song statistics off MP3 players. Having just deleted my last.fm account yesterday following new swirling privacy concerns with respect to the RIAA, I imagine this would be done locally.
I should have foreseen that libre.fm would be kind of political about promoting free music, and that’s not really what I wanted anyway.
In fact, I don’t even know if this stuff matters to me at all, but it would be a good way to play with the language without even having to start a new full-out project.
The real effort needs to be going toward finishing Efendi, and that’s definitely not going to change.
