My coding Muse has found me again, which is good. I've just spent the past few hours cranking out code for my LiveJournal journal reader, and bashing together a bit of hackery involving internet explorer, visual basic 6 and on-demand post loading. It's now almost at beta level. The only major bug remaining is that friends-only posts *still* don't work, and I think that it's LiveJournal's problem. See the previous post for details.

Now I just need to turn my fingers to the other programs I've been meaning for a while to code. That or actually release something - a trawl through my code folder showed about half-a-dozen programs at release quality, an ancient attempt at writing a Pokémon clone, various unfinished programs ranging from an empty file to a complete UI skeleton, and some stuff that I don't remember writing. Oh, and one program that I think I wrote, but am not actually sure. It has my style, but I can't remember ever writing it.

You know you've been programming too long when you can't remember why you wrote something.

Yay for late-night hackery.

Having discovered the wonders of ?usescheme=lynx my LJ reader is finally getting somewhere. There's really only three bugs to fix (make authentication work so it can see friends-only entries, make it work properly with all journals (it doesn't like mine), and make it show moer than one entry per day), and some usability enhancements to add.

For the record, there's no evil journal-downloading intention behind it. The reason behind it is so I can read the back entries of various journals on my friends list without having to go back and forth all the time. When I get round to it I may do some funky HTML/Javascript mangling to give the appearance of an infinite lastn page, but until then I'll just code up some good old-fashioned keyboard navigation.
