today, last night, clpm
Garage sale finally ended last night. Sold not everything, but a fair
bit of it.
Watched an interesting film on PBS last night; I think it's called "An
American Love Story". It's a story of a family by a filmmaker who
lived with them for a year and a half. Very sweet.
Today comp.lang.perl.misc stats for the last week showed up. I was #2
in volume posted and number of posts, with 46 posts totaling 90K, and
an original content rating of 0.669. (I was #1 among first-time
posters.)
Got to work a bit before 13:00 today. :(

=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.
- Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content
volume to the total body volume.
