After wanting to plot the timeline of OSes I have used, I thought I could create a timeline of my blogs.
The files can be downloaded here, my-blogs-timeline.{conf,csv}. The code was indeed from that GNU/Linux distro timeline, but after I modified and read the manual of gnuclad, I found those were from gnuclads docs and examples . So, I dont think I will need to make a attribution.
In this timeline, I started with one blog then it branched out in 2008. At the time, I thought its a good idea to have blogs with special topics. But in 2010, I decided to go back to just one blog. There is no need to have many special topic blogs and my Blogger dashboard had too many blogs. I am not a professional blogger, its hard to keep active blogging. This timeline includes some projects blogs, they are almost inactive.
When I was composing it, I tried to add images, such as logos or header images of my blogs, but some images were being resized too small. I couldnt figure out how to resolve it. There was no bug reports or no FAQ entries mentioned about images, hence I just removed the images and went back for plain texts.
Five years of blogging (I have some were not in the timeline), I did manage to create a lot of useless contents, I think. :)
I need to leave a note for myself for generating the image:
gnuclad my-blogs-timeline.{csv,svg,conf} && inkscape my-blogs-timeline.svg -D --export-png my-blogs-timeline.png
See the Bash Brace Expansion, its the commandfu!
Hehe, looks like you went through quite a blogging spree :)
ReplyDeleteDidnt know about the brace expansion. Its useful, thanks!
Oh and If you run into problems (as with the images) and cant find any info in the manual or bug tracker, just go ahead and report it. I cant fix the bad cases as long as I dont know what they are.
And theres lots of room on the tracker, with the last bug being solved a month ago ;)
Yep, quite... a lot of crap I have been producing these years. XD
ReplyDeleteI accidentally found out I could write them with just that beautiful brace expansion, thanks for that perfectly, coincidentally argument positions in your gnuclad.
About the bug report thing, I did have thought about that, but quote my own words, "I am lazy," It would take too much effort for me to gather useful information for writing a bug report. (Im really full of excuses...) So I just deleted those cells of image path.
But I might, someday.
Nevermind, take your time.
ReplyDeleteLazyness is livable as long as you make sure that winter doesnt ask you what youve been doing all summer (or you live in a tropcial region) ;)
Cheers!
