Cool stuff

avramAh, before I go to sleep, I forgot to note two cool things that happened today:
While putting on my watch, I found myself tightening the band to the fifth hole inward. I’d been using the fourth for the past few years, and originally used the third when I first got this band.
And on my way out of the apartment, I found a bag of fresh tomatoes hanging off our doorknob, presumably a gift from our landlord (who keeps a garden in the back yard). Mmmm. Not quite as flavorful as they could be, but there’s still a taste to garden-fresh tomatoes that you just don’t get from supermarkets.
(Oh, crap, RadioParadise has redesigned their website, so now I have to rewrite the screen-scraper I cobbled together to grab the current song for sticking in the Music field.)
Oh, and I learned a new Perl function today: sprintf. Here’s how to use sprintf format a numeric value as a dollar amount:
I learned this while writing a script to figure out when the per-cup cost (rounded to the nearest cent) of coffee refills at Ground hits 25¢. (Answer: With the 101st cup.)
