Python

I need to work on refactoring a plugin I made for MusicBrainz Picard that lets you submit chosen tags (typically genres) to matching entities on the site.

I am scheduled to present at Python Frederick in August. It is a Practical Business Python styled talk showing the utility of automating complex reporting with Jinja2 and docx templates. This annual report is a real world example using Jinja2.

I just made a PR to fix an issue with yt-dlp where Chrome now locks its Cookies file while running.

Learned about a thing called "Shadow Copies". Basically Windows allows you to sort-of snapshot files in a volume even while in use.

I haven't decided if I'll actually go through with it, but as a learning experience, I've been thinking about making little rewrites of some command line utilities (and maybe some original ones if I get any ideas) that output NestedText, instead of normal unstructured text. NestedText looks like a really cool data format. It's basically exactly what I wished Yaml was, and the reference implementation is in Python so maybe it could be fun. Plus it'd give me a reason to try out the really cool looking Typer library.

I'm working in a personal project to create a Nitter scrapper now that twitter free api is very limited.

Currently extracting data visualizations for Tournesol project (project aiming to evaluate youtube videos by the community, giving his data open (when user allows it))

For work I do a lot of ETL and data matching from multiple different sources (mostly text files extracted out of databases). St home built a library for the ebay api to pull significant others sales data so she can use it for taxes.

I do my research in python so I'm currently working on some ways to evaluate/measure generalization problems in machine learning for rotating machinary-based data (ball bearing faults atm)
