Sharp as a Marble - I’ve been doing a little soul searching lately

I’ve been doing a little soul searching lately

Turns out I don’t have one.

Which makes things easier, to be honest.

How do you keep your hair from turning red?

I recently cleaned out my moral warehouse and put in a disco.

I wrapped my moral compass in coils of fine wire, and I use the current to recharge my iPhone.

I can't recommend ensoulment highly enough. In fact, I recommend people buy as many extra souls as they can afford! eBay is a reasonably accessible source for aftermarket souls, but one does have to be very careful; many are damaged and nothing stains a carpet like leaky soulstuff.

Read Mark Twain's story "Some Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime In Connecticut." It relates to your situation.

Hahaha, nice Dead Goblin Count on the top of the site there. How do you cross-reference the number with Jay's? Do you have a script that automatically updates it or do you update it yourself?

I'm pretty sure I don't have a soul either. In its place is a very hyper manic-depressive little demon on caffeine and sugar.

There is a charity to help with that problem, Robb:

Silver, alas it's a manual system. As the admin, I see + and - icons that let me increase / decrease the count. When I see Jay post an addition, I update it here.

It would take too much development effort to write a service that scraped his blog looking for DGC posts and getting the proper count.

That area is, for now, kind of a placeholder for other ideas. Just seeing it if works for a while.

Ohhh! :) Well...I'd have a script that would run daily on this page, and take the first post, navigate to that, and find the sentence that goes "Dead Goblin Count: XXX" and obtain the number from that (via regex, likely).

...the only problem is, reading HTML pages takes FOREVER. >x<;; ></;; >

Sorry, I enjoy racking my brain to solutions for things. :)

Understood. I've just been doing it for 17 years and I know the pitfalls that happen. An extra space, Coutn instead of Count, - instead of :, missing a regex and pulling in something not intended.

It's not that it can't be done, mind you. There's just no ROI. It takes much less effort to just manually hit a + icon every here and there.
