This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is Busted!, written , and concerning Uncategorized

Mark catches me out playing self-referential BlogNomic games with his neat little magnetic poetry tool. I tried making it do its magnetic thing on itself. And then do it on itself doing it on another site, and so on. Caught me almost immediately. Oops. Sorry about that, Mark. He seems to have fixed it so that it won't fetch diveintomark.org pages now at all; that'll teach me to not fiddle with things :-)

Very neat little script, though, and I always learn something looking at Mark's code. This time, I have learned that one of my ambitions is to just be able to whip off Python code that uses SGMLParser without having to look up the docs and puzzle over it every time...

Oh, and my fridge poetry, drawn from this site itself:

Don’t bother looking it up in the docs. Use Mark’s explanation in diveintopython instead. Trust me on this one—I’m an unreconstructed SGML geek, and I didn’t get sgmllib until I read Mark’s explanation.
