WAS: DIY science IS: WHERE DOES GLEN GET HIS EPIGRAMS

[Nick Thompson]

I notice that glen never repeats the epigram (?) with which he concludes his messages.

 

Where is he getting them all?  See highlighting below.

Nice!  I think I have my next dorkbot project.  I had to quit going to the meetings because I was so embarrassed that I hadn't done anything in so long.  And my theramin project was a complete failure.  Debugging is hard. 8^)

I have a manually assembled database of them on my server.  I only have
131 quotes in there.  And my cron job only runs every minute,
pseudo-randomly choosing the next one.  So, if I send more than 1 e-mail
in a single minute, then it repeats.  Or, you should sporadically see a
repeat.
