After months of research and distractions, I’ve finally achieved a first release of this software. I present to you generator-python-cmd v0.1.0<\/a>! I’ve even posted it on npm<\/a> for other Node.js users to find. It’s an alpha release, which in this case means it works, but it doesn’t have all the features I want in a production release. There’s a roadmap of future features in the readme file.<\/p>\n Now that that’s done, I’m going to take a break to focus on Christmas and tidying up my life. I’ll probably come back to this project in a month or two.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Speaking of Christmas, I’m flying to Texas this week for our annual family gathering. I’ll be there about a week-and-a-half. I’m looking forward to it, as always.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I ended last week about halfway through The Stand<\/em>. It continues to be good. The characters’ trek across the US reminds me of the show Carnivale<\/em> and the book American Gods<\/em> by Neil Gaiman.<\/p>\n The audiobook gets automatically returned around Christmas Day, but I won’t get much listening done while I’m in Texas. So I’ll put it on hold again and finish the rest later. It’s a very long book.<\/p>\n \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n Last week my futurism group discussed the prison system, and my eyes were opened to how broken it is. John Oliver had a good segment<\/a> on it. Listening to our discussion reminded me of how tame my life has been compared to other people’s.<\/p>\n \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n Thursday I watched the FCC tank the Internet on the livestream of their open commission meeting<\/a> (“Restoring Internet Freedom” on that agenda). As everyone expected, they voted 3-2 to end their rules that enforced net neutrality<\/a>, the idea that Internet service providers should treat all traffic the same rather than blocking some of it or throttling its speed.<\/p>\n Strangely, the next day everyone’s Internet didn’t slow to a crawl or get packaged into nickle-and-dime bundles<\/a>. But even though I think the Internet is better with regulatory safeguards, really I don’t expect things to change quickly or obviously, if at all. People like to panic about politics, but I think the ISPs have at least a little clue about what practices will be bad for business.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n Last week one of my favorite people at work left the company to venture out on a new career path. I’ll miss him, but I think he’ll do well. Hopefully we’ll stay in touch.<\/p>\n I was hoping to finish my big series of Bible commentary ebooks on Friday, but the source files needed more attention than I expected, so I’ll have another week or two of work on them when I get back. That’s still way ahead of our estimated release date, so I’m not too disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Project generator \ud83d\ude0e After months of research and distractions, I’ve finally achieved a first release of this software.
