A bit of hacking the last few days, mostly some well-needed tweaks. Volkers and Keith have recently written new modules to do lookups at Deutsche Bank and UK funds, and these should make it into the next release. I'm very pleased.

The ASX seem to be doing some weird things with their website. I thought maybe they were intentionally objecting to robot-type things, so I checked their robots.txt file. Nope, nothing parsable there, just a really misleading error message. (Sorry guys, "Not Found" and "High load, try again later" have different meanings in most people's books.)

The Perl Journal
My draft almost has all the sections filled in, and the example program is finished and working well. Hope to have something reasonable to submit this weekend or early next week. Still needs polish, of course.

Work
Friday already? The week seems to have started just the other day.

Dan and Tiff seem to be sick. :( I hope they're feeling better soon.

Games
X-COM III is great. Loving it still.

House
Been drooling over some of the land available in Earth Garden magazine. 49 acres in the middle of Queensland for less than $AU 10K.... Mmmm, very tempting. May have to use a couple of tin-cans on a string for a network connection, though. Satellite downlink is also an idea.

Advogato
Good to see that Gossamer has started a diary. Hi Bek! Long time no see.
