[01:16:45] <Bytram> yes, it ( https://www.fastcompany.com ) does have a boatload of links; unfortunately, the bot seems to exclude everything in <h2>...</h2> phrases, too.

[01:20:50] <chromas> should it include them?
[01:21:29] <Bytram> sorry! Just *now saw your reply.
[01:21:30] * chromas should make the strippables be an irc-editable list
[01:21:39] <chromas> I only just now made it
[01:21:49] <Bytram> I would say it should, at least in this case.

[01:23:23] <Bytram> that is horribly sloppy, but should get the giost of it.
[01:23:28] <Bytram> *gist
[01:23:34] <Bytram> brb
[01:24:04] <chromas> it has code specifically to delete the <h*> tags. Or had. I commented those line

[01:27:58] <Bytram> looks like a bunch more stuff made it through, but still lost the actual <h2> and </h2> tags...
[01:28:14] <chromas> You don't have to wait 20 seconds. Only the reskey has to wait
[01:28:20] <Bytram> search for "What they know" in both the original and the scraped copy
[01:28:32] <chromas> oh whoops. That's a different bit o' code

[01:29:18] <chromas> One strips out stuff that's (hopefully) not article, another strips out all but certain tags
[01:29:35] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:29:47] <chromas> so like it could strip out formatting or whatever
[01:30:04] <chromas> or just do plain text

[01:33:03] <Bytram> that 's a very strange looking subid ?!!
[01:34:08] <chromas> That's a weird error result from rehash. If you do another sub, you'll notice the sub id number got incremented like it was used but there's no sub there
[01:34:24] <chromas> the id it should have had
[01:34:31] <chromas> 32241
[01:34:49] <chromas> I get an empty page

[01:35:17] <Bytram> that number looks... interesting
[01:35:18] <chromas> I guess it does that for any non-existant ids
[01:35:26] <Bytram> likely
[01:36:42] <chromas> I dunno. I need to check the output. It only looks for the "subid" field (using a regex), so if rehash is throwing an error, it's putting a subid in for some reason
[01:38:57] <Bytram> so, at 5 *years* we have only about 33k subs... if returned subid > 1,000,000 then try again?
[01:39:33] <Bytram> at current rates, that should last us for... 150 years.

[01:43:11] <Bytram> well, THAT worked!!!!

[02:17:57] <Bytram> chromas: first 9 stories in submit queue are over a week old and are all submitted by a bot or by an AC... I plan to delete them in a minute or so unless you see anything work using.
[02:20:15] <chromas> Fine by me
[02:20:26] <Bytram> mare see!

[02:22:54] * Bytram just noticed we are back to weekend story spacing
[02:25:34] <chromas> We should do quick spacing and do all those subs instead of deleting them
[02:25:38] <chromas> Like one every 20 minutes
[02:26:14] <Bytram> which reminds me! April 1st is coming up fast!
[02:26:42] <chromas> Finally, the Day of Aristarchus and realDonaldTrump stories is upon is
[02:27:52] <chromas> We need a theme with wide margins and cyan color scheme

[02:31:28] <chromas> I played the Seventh Guest in a Radio Shack one time. Couldn't figure out how to go backward though
[02:32:09] <chromas> It was the good Radio Shack. One of the sales guys started it up for me. The one near us didn't want me touching the computers.
[02:32:57] <chromas> But then a few years ago is had a weird crusty sock incense and then it closed
[02:33:03] * Bytram remembers stopping by a RS each month to get the next installment of Byte Magazine... circa 1982
[02:34:30] <chromas> I remember they started charging for their catalogs. That's when they really went downhill. That and replacing everything with cellphones
