Vscode

Python has a webbrowser module that allows scripts to open a webbrowser. In the past, I have often used this for scripts that create some kind of new web resource, so that it will automatically open the page after creation. While working on one of my headless servers, I became curious about how it works and how I might be able to tap into it.

I had not planned on spending most of my afternoon prototyping a vscode-worklog extension, but once I started writing, I kept tweaking one more thing until most of my afternoon had disappeared. The code is still super messy and there are bugs I found while writing this post, but at least the basic prototype seems reasonable.

I also spent some of this morning working on upgrading some of my test virtual machines. I probably have a lot of old settings files to cleanup so that may be a longer term cleanup. I had wanted to upgrade to a newer distro so that I have access to a newer system python.
