Following on from the previous post, I found myself with a few hours to myself tonight. The estrogen in the house went out as a group so I managed to do a bit more coding on the FreshPorts listening daemon.

Data driven applications are a good concept to keep in mind when design an application, especially when that application needs to have new bits added to it on a regular basis. My idea for using Python to listen for FreshPorts events is a case in point.

Today I started playing with Python again. My goal is to create a listening “daemon” to process PostgreSQL events. I wrote about my initial proof of concept at the start of the month. Today, it’s time to look at using this for real.
