UKGovWeb Barcamp
Hum, so there’s another UKGovWeb Barcamp in the pipe-line. Good-oh, says I.
To work around my hatred of PBWiki’s “notification” system, I’ve just re-appropriated (and made ‘ukgovweb-check‘) my dell-order-checking script to work for the wiki-page; changelog is that the script now uses lynx instead of wget, and that we send the difflog, rather than the whole-bloody-changed file.
If you’re still in the dark-ages like me, and haven’t written one yourself, here you go. If there’s a demand and people are feeling lazy, I suppose I could whip up a list.
Let me know if you do.
There’s some discussion going on on email, I do believe.

Thought this might double up as a note of the firefox extensions I currently have installed — I’ve tried getting this to script, but, the source file isn’t something I’m over-familiar with, and getting fields to match-up ain’t happening, due to my crapness.
Anyhow, I would appear to have these firefox extensions installed:
Adblock Plus
AutoPager

Better YouTube
Delicious Bookmarks

Ok. So let’s start off with a fairly obvious statement. I’m indolent. And I can write scripts. This is a dangerous, nay, perilous pairing…
So, with this existing laptop really getting on my nerves, and the lack of email coming from Dell regarding the new ‘un I ordered, I thought I’d tidy up some diff-scripts used [...]
