Not all all! My adventures here started by looking at code fragments like 10C's curl examples. Progressed to a mental then a coding what-if, and then lots of copying and pasting between my subroutines. That was the Linux shell scripting.

Then to Python! It's pretty much all new to me but the scripting helped define structure, focused my mind on what I'd need to make it work.

This'll sound obvious. :)

Its not trivial but this time I paced myself well. :)

I'd be interested in learning what the differences are between 3 and 2. Later. ;)

For anyone interested, I've just made the documentation for my 10C application (10cbazbt3) a little more focused, and definitely more comprehensive.

A conversation in which I'm mentioned, but in a most atypical context. Interesting. Wondering if it'll happen again. :)

From an email from IFTTT, a couple of hours ago:

We have been busy bringing improvements to the IFTTT platform. Because of these technical updates, some Channels will no longer be supported.

On March 23rd, the following Channels and their Recipes will be removed from IFTTT: App.net, BuzzFeed, Campfire, Diigo, Etsy, ffffound, Last.fm, Readability, Yahoo Fantasy Sports, and Yammer.

Ahhhhh…

Ha! A reprieve. :)

Yes. You do need to learn Python. Python 3. And then you can optimise my code. Yes, yes. Yay, thanks! :)

I sold mine, got buggerall for it. Wish I could recall what replaced it. Maybe an Archos portable drive? Ah… where's my memory today?

// @height8

Aliens, sorry. Damnit, my memory's…

Ahhh… enjoy. :)

Not used much then? :) Not enough American Football for you to record? ;)
