I Blog, Therefore I am.

Weekly Project Blog #1

Did you hear something a moment ago?

Warning. Either these or notes or I might be talking to myself again…

Me: 😊

Mee Brother: Well that response only took a week.

Sorry Wayne. I have been doing the home school and otherwise working my butt off. I laughed at that and it occurred to me (again) that I should be doing a project blog. And myself also being a smart a*s (it’s a family trait actually) it seemed he at least deserved a short reply….

My reply:

Lol.

Technical difficulties mainly.

My code clean up turned into a bigger effort than I thought mainly because low level issues that were the original flaw in it all.

So I have something of a more versatile tool with the enhancements, the code is better design wise. So far, despite it having a wide scope it could address, I don’t see new areas where it has commercial applications.

This is all re-implemented code BTW.

A it’s core this app uses the original SRT Application.

This was used for CODE and date conversions and a powerful tool.

And:

I partially implemented Axion’s and my OS framework.

I created an rather useless database converter.

And this project (app) that fixes Windows Links.

I could now easily do a variant that fixes music files but there is no money in that. See my point?

As far as all this effort goes, I will use the standard MVC core in the future. I am doing my main project in RUST later but will need a tiny engine for some things in Windows temporarily at least.

In either case I have been experimenting with using RUST like abstractions withing the C# language the code cleanup. It’s works quite well so I am pleased.

Excuse my blogging here.

Also in either case, if this is a viable product or service (Link fixing) then maintaining the original code base isn’t a big deal.

I am basically meeting my estimates on how long I think each feature or task should take but this had an extra week. I forgot a lot of the UBER low level parts of old school C# which was a central aspect of fixing the design.

Very challenging I must say. In the latest versions of the language all of this (apps with background workers) is much more easily handled and in a very standardized way.

Ultimately any RUST or Web Assembly app will need to duplicate my C# core constructs (the framework) as well the Axion OSS (Operating System Support) functionality. RUST is very strong in this area and can be used to write operating systems.

While powerful apps do benefit from having an OS abstraction its impact on performance is a primary concern generally and of mine in particular.

So in the main, the new and improved Horsman Link Utility should be ready for a Beta (research) client in 2 weeks. But link anything I do I wanted to explain how most of my work involved entangled projects and technology research.

Wayne you were wondering what Applied Applications R&D was. Note that all of the above does have a focus on the link product but that’s within a much broader scope of the technology and tools the application runs on.

This includes new tech in Data Science and even AI and basic performance and development issues. Hope that helps.😉

So…. after a week without a word… how did I do?
