Small Fixes

In the afternoon, I finished a series of small fixes to tumblelog that I started yesterday. The changelog for version 6.6.0 is as follows:

  • Use current_year_week in create_week_page call
  • Use escape on the href attribute in wrap_in_permalink
  • Don't ignore an empty id (tumblelog.py)
  • Make synopsis/usage show all options
  • Escape URL and tag in html_for_tag
  • Use isoformat instead of str with replace (tumblelog.py)
  • Don't accept unknown options nor abbreviated options (tumblelog.pl)
  • Use our $VERSION (tumblelog.pl)
  • Simplify clumsy code (tumblelog.pl)
  • Remove obvious comment (tumblelog.pl)
  • Fix bug in create_archive (tumblelog.pl)
  • Make get_end_of_day conform the Time::Piece documentation (tumblelog.pl)

As usual the latest version is available on GitHub.

Children of Strife: A Disappointment

In the evening I finally finished Children of Strife, Children of Time novels book 4 by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It took me quite some time to finish this book because it was not good in my opinion; a disappointment. I loved Children of Time; excellent. I liked Children of Ruin, and Children of Memory was confusing at times (to me) but I liked it. While I tried to like Children of Strife it's just not for me.
