DrBuck

On my code page, my project called DrBuck is described. It’s the biggest script/program I’ve written, and it is all in shell code. Well, writing in shell is a bit slow, inefficient, and not web-ready. Yesterday and today I’ve been working on a web version obsessively. It’s written in Perl, which is a great CGi language and a lot faster. The only problem is that I don’t know it very well, but I’ve been learning. I think I learn faster when I have a goal in mind.

DrBuck is a finance program. My goal is to make it easy to use, fast, and informative. For now it will be just for Jill and I, but in the near future I hope to make it easy for anyone to use it using an SQL backend for user accounts.

  1. Update: I’ve been working feverishly on this script. I know Perl a lot better than I did a few days ago! Last night I was up until 4 AM working on a report, but it looks great now! When I’m done I’ll submit it to my Perl geek friends (Lieb, Greg, Marie) and see what they think.
