Torsten Wagner twisted the bytes to say:

do you have your code somewhere? I'll be curious exactly what you mean

the repo of my students is still available. it is a fork of my old
xournal repo, but I'll have to find its name :)

                                   whether it furnished him with food, or
                                   shelter, or weapons, or tools, or
                                   armaments, or playwiths; but who sought
                                   to know it for the gratification of
