(Timecard #4) I’m about to head off to my hometown for a day trip, so here’s what happened this morning:
- Modularised EVERYTHING I can so the COBOL code is less cluttered.
- Added data file for tasks.
- Implemented system initialisation, checks for files and dates.
- Added OS-aware screen clearing.
I will spend the time in the car thinking of a method to efficiently display the TUI.

(Timecard #3) Hello again! Today is a decent day.
- Figured out how to modularised COBOL code (this took wayyy too long)
- Built a tool to aid with compiling all the files (now a separate project lol - Cobweb)
Next up, working on the core mechanics! Shouldn’t be a big headache since I got the modularisation figured out.

(Timecard #2) Haihhh, it’s a few minutes past New Year 2025. I’m feeling a bit better now, 80% recovered from all the sickness of yesterday hahahaa . Almost shed tears. Anyways, here’s a summary of the past 3hrs:
- Reworked working storage section variables to be more versatile.
- Figured out some TUI things, quite hard to achieve on COBOL lol - trial n error on various techniques to get it done.
- Since the TUI is figured out, I made the HELP page.
For tomorrow, I’m going to work on setup/initialisation as well as the date handler.

COBOL is a fascinating choice, would love to follow along with this :D
(Timecard #1) Today is a wrap! I am sick today hence only 42m of meaningful coding hahahaa.
- Did basic COBOL things
- Added ANSI colours
- CLI handler
Tomorrow is when things get serious >:)
