Hi folks. So, I was playing around and created a client for JIRA written in Go. It was nice to do some JSON transformation. And sending POSTS was really trivial. It’s still in it’s infancy and I have a couple of more features I want to implement, but, here is the code. package main import ( "bytes" "encoding/json" "flag" "fmt" "io/ioutil" "log" "net/http" "os" "github.com/BurntSushi/toml" ) var configFile = "~/.jira_config.toml" var parameter string var flags struct { Comment string Description string IssueKey string Priority string Resolution string Title string Project string } //Issue is a representation of a Jira Issue type Issue struct { Fields struct { Project struct { Key string `json:"key"` } `json:"project"` Summary string `json:"summary"` Description string `json:"description"` Issuetype struct { Name string `json:"name"` } `json:"issuetype"` Priority struct { ID string `json:"id"` } `json:"priority"` } `json:"fields"` } //Transition defines a transition json object....

Hello folks. Today, I present to you the One Hundred Day Github Challenge. The rules are simple: Minimum of One commit every day for a Hundred days. Commit has to be meaningful but can be as little as a fix in a Readme.md. Doesn’t matter if you are on vacation, there are no exceptions. There. Are. No. Exceptions. If you fail a day, you have to start over. No cheating. You only cheat yourself, so this is really up to you....

Hi Folks. I started to build a Progress Quest type of web app in Go. If you’d like to join, or just tag along, please drop by here => Go Progress Quest and feel free to submit an issue if you have an idea, or would like to contribute! I will try and document the Progress. Thank you for reading! Gergely.

I’m proud of this one too. No peaking. I like how go let’s you do this kind of stuff in a very nice way. package circular import "fmt" //TestVersion testVersion const TestVersion = 1 //Buffer buffer type type Buffer struct { buffer []byte full int size int s, e int } //NewBuffer creates a new Buffer func NewBuffer(size int) *Buffer { return &Buffer{buffer: make([]byte, size), s: 0, e: 0, size: size, full: 0} } //ReadByte reads a byte from b Buffer func (b *Buffer) ReadByte() (byte, error) { if b....

Hi Folks. Ever used Job DSL plugin for Jenkins? What is that you say? Well, it’s TEH most awesome plug-in for Jenkins to have, because you can CODE your job configuration and put it under source control. Today, however, I’m not going to write about that because the tutorials on Jenkins JOB DSL are very extensive and very well done. Anyone can pick them up. Today, I would like to write about a part of it which is even more interesting....

Quickly wrote up the Data Munger code kata in Go. Next time, I want better abstractions. And a way to select columns based on their header data. For now, this is not bad. package main import ( "bufio" "fmt" "log" "math" "os" "regexp" "strconv" "strings" ) //Data which is Data type Data struct { columnName string compareOne float64 compareTwo float64 } func main() { // datas := []Data{WeatherData{}, FootballData{}} fmt.Println("Minimum weather data:", GetDataMinimumDiff("weather....

I’m pretty proud of this one as well. package sieve //Sieve Uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes to calculate primes to a certain limit func Sieve(limit int) []int { var listOfPrimes []int markers := make([]bool, limit) for i := 2; i < limit; i++ { if !markers[i] { for j := i + i; j < limit; j += i { markers[j] = true } listOfPrimes = append(listOfPrimes, i) } } return listOfPrimes }

I quiet like this one. My first go program snippet without any peaking or googling. I’m proud, though it could be improved with a bit of struct magic and such and such. And it only counts ’till 1000. package main import "fmt" var words = map[int]string{1: "one", 2: "two", 3: "three", 4: "four", 5: "five", 6: "six", 7: "seven", 8: "eight", 9: "nine", 10: "ten", 11: "eleven", 12: "twelve", 13: "thirteen", 14: "fourteen", 15: "fifteen", 16: "sixteen", 17: "seventeen", 18: "eighteen", 19: "nineteen", 20: "twenty", 30: "thirty", 40: "forty", 50: "fifty", 60: "sixty", 70: "seventy", 80: "eighty", 90: "ninety"} // CountLetters count the letters in a long string number representation func CountLetters(limit int) { myLongNumberString := "" for i := 1; i <= limit; i++ { addLettersToMyString(&myLongNumberString, i) } // fmt....

The first, and only time so far, that I got to use the bitwise & operator. I enjoyed doing so!! And of course from now on, I’ll be looking for more opportunities to (ab)use it. package secret import "sort" const REVERSE = 16 func Handshake(code int) []string { // binary_rep := convertDecimalToBinary(code) if code < { return nil } secret_map := map[int]string { 1: "wink", 2: "double blink", 4: "close your eyes", 8: "jump", } var keys []int for k := range secret_map { keys = append(keys, k) } // To make sure iteration is always in the same order....

Hello folks. A small update to this. I created the model now, which is the database design for this app. It’s very simple, nothing fancy. Also, I’m writing the app with Python 3 from now on. Here is the model now: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Create your models here. class Item(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100, default="Item") damage = models.IntegerField(default=) defense = models.IntegerField(default=) consumable = models.BooleanField(default=False) def __str__(self): return self....
