<p>So, with the <a class="reference external" href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#AUR_4">migration of the AUR to version 4</a>, I looked at the 12 AUR packages I had created over the years which I have not looked at in a long, long time.</p>
<p>The list started out with:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chronicle/">chronicle</a> - A simple blog compiler written in Perl</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-basename/">perl-leocharre-basename</a> - Very basic filename string and path operations such as ext and paths</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-cli2/">perl-leocharre-cli2</a> - Some quick help for writing cli scripts</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-debug/">perl-leocharre-debug</a> - Debug subroutines</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-dir/">perl-leocharre-dir</a> - Subroutines for general directory needs</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-leocharre-strings/">perl-leocharre-strings</a> - Combines string procedures I frequently use</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-string-prettify/">perl-string-prettify</a> - Subroutines to cleanup a filename and or garble for human eyes</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-api/">perl-wordpress-api</a> - Management of Wordpress API objects. Inherits WordPress::XMLRPC and all its methods</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-cli/">perl-wordpress-cli</a> - Command line access to Wordpress</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-wordpress-xmlrpc/">perl-wordpress-xmlrpc</a> - API to Wordpress XML RPC calls</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usbmount/">usbmount</a> - Automatically mount and unmount USB mass storage devices</li>
<li>
<a class="reference external" href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlhtml/">xlhttp</a> - An Excel spreadsheet (.xls) and PowerPoint (.ppt) to HTML converter</li>
</ul>
<p>In the end, I only kept <em>xlhttp</em> as I do not use the others anymore. Surprisingly enough, only one of the packages (<em>chronicle</em>) was out of date. I disowned all the others, so if you want, you can pick them up.</p>

<p>Once more, off the Las Vegas for to work a trade show. This year, I was helping present training, so I was tucked away in a basement most of the trip, and did not get out to do much in the way of sight-seeing aside from walking around the hotel.</p>

<p>This is a quick post to capture something seen. <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ansible.com">Ansibel</a> is a configuration management tool that I have been learning recently. More details in a future post. This is just to capture this idea:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>From: Smith, Chris (Big Data)</p>
<p>To: ansible</p>
<p>Ansible Galaxy is a centralised Github repository of public Ansible content, see: <a class="reference external" href="https://galaxy.ansible.com/">https://galaxy.ansible.com/</a> It uses a local routine that is installed when you install Ansible, called ansible-galaxy, to create a blank template for your Ansible content. What is not well known is you can run ansible-galaxy in offline mode to create a blank template using the command:</p>
<p># ansible-galaxy init --offline my-role</p>
<p>Enjoy,</p>
<p>Chris</p>
</blockquote>
<p>More on this as I get some more back-ends stuff taken care of, like setting up a git repo and maybe auto-deploy from git push?</p>

<p>April has come and gone, and I did not manage to find time (or energy) to post anything.</p>
<p>I spent most of the month at work getting ready to and then delivering some training remotely in Nashville, TN, US. Now, I can say that I have stayed at the largest non-casino hotel in the world, <a class="reference external" href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/bnago-gaylord-opryland-resort-and-convention-center/">The Gaylord Opryland</a>. Now that that is over, I get to gear up to design a new training plan for internal product training. Such is the life of a Linux guy stuck working for a marketing group.</p>
<p>On the home front, we have hit a busy time with soccer, volleyball, dance, and swim time. I think we get a break sometime after the 4th of July.....</p>

<p>Does updating the theme of the site count as an update? No? Okay...time to type.</p>
<p>Life is busy right now, and extra things are gonna have to give. I have not had a chance to do much photography (both making and processing them), so I am putting the daily site on hold, again. For the sharp eye among you, you would have noticed this last week.</p>
<p>On the upside, I have lost about 20 pounds since the beginning of the year. While I am not where I want to be weight-wise, I have lost a pants size which puts me back were I was about 10 years ago. Life is good.</p>
<p>I am going to see about updating things here more often, if nothing else to have a record of things not in a cloud based service which may dramatically change its pricing model on me.</p>
