PALADIN update
A while back I mentioned that I was working on a Perl/Tk application. Well, the app is called PALADIN, and it’s basically going to be a front-end to a customer database, handling customer info, trouble ticketing, and the like. This is a large Perl/Tk app, so the going is kind of slow, but I’m finally starting to hit my stride. Click “more” for details, and a screenshot.
Yesterday, I got the app to actually log into the database and monitor its connection status, so that if, for some reason, it gets disconnected from the server, it will prompt to reconnect. If it discovers that it’s been disconnected when it’s getting ready to do something important, like save a customer’s info, it will remember what it was up to while it waits for you to log in again. Once logged in, it will continue on its merry way and finish what it started. This is really cool, to me anyway. Here’s a screenshot so those of you who care can see what I’m up to:
