I’m sitting in a hotel on a network that can’t stay up (and paying $9.95 a night for it), while I’m here at LWCE, so I won’t be putting down much here for the moment, but I had a great idea.
Firstly, I have to credit jimw for sparking this idea in my head.
If Advogato’s copy of recentlog.html had a Last-Modified header, I could determine when the person at the top of recentlog.html ailed off the bottom by parsing it with some Perl, thus making sure there’s no duplicate entries in the Plucker database.
I can then make a copy of it available on the site in the Samples section, and update it regularly with a Perl script on the server.
Comments anyone?
