Dealiable.com : After two months
It's been two months since Dealiable.com was launched as a project of Intrepid Inceptions. Time does fly!
This is quick blog to summarize a few key metrics depicting the growth of Dealiable.com for the past two months.
Intrepid Inceptions : The Inception
So, it happened! My long plan of putting the projects I'm working on (and potentially the future ones) under the same umbrella has come into existence -- introducing Intrepid Inceptions, the startup/company/brand (in the usual term) that will be used formally behind all my projects.
Introducing Dealiable.com!
My recent work, Dealiable.com, has entered the public beta phase and will be stable soon! The domain was registered on 29 June, 2018 (Friday) and then made public the same day. This was a really fun one work on, with so many challenges, so many corner cases, and so many more to come and tackle. But it feels really awesome to get this piece of work rolling and seeing people appreciating the idea and work.
Postgresql: Running `psql` as user `postgres` from different system username on localhost
Postgresql's postmaster (Postgresql cluster [not cluster in the usual notion] manager), listens on TCP socket and also on UNIX domain socket (for localhost use only). Using UNIX doamin sockets to connect to Postgresql is very useful as it is bound to filesystem access only, no network socket involved. As a result, we get less overhead and less resource usage.
API to get your public IP and other HTTP request metadata
Often times we face the need to get our public IP address; in doing so, from time to time, we've used many URL endpoints, found in the wild - which seem to serve well for a while before disappearing suddenly, forever. As a permanent fix to this dilemma, i've written a tiny app and created couple of URL endpoints on my BookShelfBD.com domain to get the public IP address and some HTTP request metadata over HTTP.
Green is the color...
Many avid Pink Floyd fans like to divide the legendary journey of the band in two distinct timeframes1 -- Waters Era (led by Roger Waters) and Gilmour Era (led by David Gilmour).
Python micro-ideas : Does tuple require parentheses as a must?
The answer is No.
This has tripped many Python developers, many times. I have come across this once again while answering this question on Stack Overflow.

An intro to "gnuplot" -- command line plotting tool for GNU/Linux
After a long time, I've started commit-ting to GitHub again (will keep on using GitLab too). While roaming around, found an old Gist of mine, discussing about gnuplot -- the command line plotting tool for GNU/Linux systems. The Gist is just a basic intro.
HAT : New "one time run" job scheduler for GNU/Linux
I've started on a new project, basically sort of a side project; It is about trying to replace the typical one time task/job scheduling engines/systems, used in GNU/Linux, namely at, atrm, atq, batch and other similar ones.
I've named it hat (hyper-at). The idea is to replace all of the mentioned ones with a single engine, with more option and flexibility.
