D and F are next to each other on the keyboard and I would
gladly put up with having to specify that "Yes, I did indeed
mean to type duck" on those very rare occasions that I'm
actually writing about a duck. I use the other word like
most
people use commas so to have to go back and change the
D
to F constantly is a pain. Whoever put the F by the D is
much,
much, much worse than Hitler.

I knew it, bastard's got a beard! Never trust an old
timey dude with a beard. Duck him. |
|
| |
Is this what duck typing is? |
|
| |
Because it's fowl, that's why. |
|
| |
Goose it wasn't very well thought out. |
|
| |
The bird-en for that is entirely yours, [doc] ... |
|
| |
Aviary embarrassed about this one. |

cron runs the algorithm only once per day, just before 0000 GMT/UTC, so it won't have been scanned yet. It's still the 23rd here, whereas in most parts of the Southern U.S. it's only 1855 ... |

The code uses the HB search algorithm to check for the H word, and pipes the resultant flat text to a temp file. Then it compares the last file with today's version. Any new occurrences are piped to another temp file, and then the date of the idea/anno is checked; so if you go back and edit an anno from yesterday or before, it'll be ignored. |
|
| |
The clever bit was getting it to append a new anno to the "Days since ..." thread, although if that thread's ever deleted we will just start a new one under that name. |
|
| |
Yes, we need no feather discussion of that other
thread. |
|
| |
The quality of this discussion is going down. |
|
| |
We know, but it won't help if you just go wigeon on about it. |
|
| |
I canardly take another one. |
|
| |
You shoul be grateful that it's not fish puns, or even giant cephalopods ... you'd end up complaining about Architeuthis dux ... |
|
| |
Swan after another with you. |
|
| |
Don't want to budgerigar-ous discussion like this, but from heron in, mallard, if I keep raven on I'll be owling at the moon and reaching for a parakeet-chen scissors. |
|
| |
Is there any chance of clawing this discussion back on the subject? Beakause this is flapping stupid. |
|
| |
Admit it, [doc]; you posted this just so you would have an
excuse to mention Gurkwe. |
|
| |
Who would have the gull to keep going, after we've reached the teal end of the bird puns? Nah, shrike that. Some tit will wren off a few more. |
|
| |
Pinion down who it quill be is a lark. |
|

^Is that pigeon a Homer? Your tern. Despite the buzzard get by continuing, albatrossting you to do better. |
|
| |
Don''t quail, or I'll be robin you of all the good ones. Ibis be going, a'stork is cheep. |
