ACME Updates

First release of my new small LISP interpreter lmin.

I got around to doing a new release of my small emacs clone emin.

I noticed that my select(1) text database program would fail on lines longer than 1000 characters.

Starting on February 25th and lasting a little over a month, acme.com has suffered intermittent network outages.

After a month with https turned off, I opened it to check if I was still getting hammered.

If you have a Google Maps API page that is suddenly costing you real money, and you want to switch to Leaflet like I did, here's how!

I realized that the new date_offset features from last week could result in days which don't exist, for example if it's May 31st and you do date_offset +1o you would get June 31st.

It can now handle week, month, and year offsets as well as second, minute, hour, and day. http://acme.com/software/date_offset/

I needed to do a release of graymilter to add a feature.

This is a formatting-only release.

I updated ACME's maps to Leaflet version 1.8.0 this morning.

Back in late May, possibly due to pandemic boredom, I started writing an Emacs-like text editor.

I added a date selection feature to my GeoRSS viewer.

A few people have reported that when they download a .tar.gz file from acme.com, their browser "helpfully" gunzips it but leaves the filename the same.

I wrote this simple memory leak detector years ago, dusted it off for a current project, and decided to prettify and package it up for release.

I added a bunch of improvements to the Caption Maker from a few days ago, including a popup color picker.

Shelter-in-place boredom prompted me to write a little widget that creates simple text captions, styled as you like, which you can then screencap and use.

Sonic did some config change a week ago that made my outgoing email stop working.

ACME's Sonic fiber internet was down from 12:15am to 1am.

I was doing some Unicode stuff in JavaScript today.

I stored out version 1.30 of mini_httpd.

Fixed a super annoying bug in Mapper's Flickr photos feature.

I made a minor change in the mouse cursors on all ACME maps.

Acme's main server froze around 2am, and when I woke up it remained unresponsive.

So after converting all my map pages from Google to Leaflet, I was still using Google for geocoding (converting addresses into coordinates).

Got an email from Mapbox this morning saying "Hi there, It looks like your Mapbox account has used 100% of the free services included with your plan."

I have finished updating Mapper's Options popup.

I have been doing some work on the options system.

A long time ago, ACME Mapper could be used to display Flickr photos taken in the area shown.

I have finished converting all twenty-two ACME maps from Google Maps API to Leaflet.js.

Google recently made some changes to their Maps API, which ACME uses on many pages.

ACME Labs is now on the net via gigabit fiber from Sonic.

I have stored out new versions of thttpd, mini_httpd, http_get, and oauth_sign.

Flickr was recently bought by SmugMug.

I have released thttpd 2.28 and mini_httpd 1.28.

I updated the ACME Comments Weblet to reasonably modern technology - JavaScript, CSS, and a JSON API.

This fixes a long-standing bug on FreeBSD using http but not https.

Back in 2007 I wrote a version of the classic Space War game in JavaScript.

Google's map API folks decided to get rid of the slider-style zoom control.

New version of mini_httpd to fix an obvious and serious bug in binary POST request reading.
