Well, that week has ended so I feel it is time for a little summary. Apart from the fact that I ended up with something more like code every other day I think it worked great. I did a little bit of code a little bit more frequently than I think I would have otherwise. Also important and nice is the fact that I did not feel I had to make up big projects or devote huge swaths of time, sitting down for a few minutes is okay too.
For tonight, I did a small javascript object to dig out numbers from strings. It finds the last number in the string, and the number may contain one decimal separator (. or ,) as well as spaces. The situation I wanted it for was my little exercise tracking application, where it would be nice for me to dig out the distance of a run from my comment. Now I can do it with a simple numberFinder.findNumber('Today I ran that new round, it was 7,8 kilometers.'). Handy, and could come in handy for someone else too. So the source code is right here.
Well, "conclusion" looks a bit final hanging around up there. I plan to keep going, but it felt right to sum up the first week seeing how I set a time period to begin with.
Onward!
