They're probably made in the same factory anyway

Surely not!

There must be an M&S wing and a Sainsbury wing to the factory.

Much like there is for Twix.

Plus I've discovered that I don't have a stuffed heart to go with the lamb tomorrow.

Dug down a bit deeper and lo! verily I say unto thee, a stuffed lamb's heart hove into view.

Which has saved me another walk down to town.

They need two wings for those because the left one is made in one wing, and the right in the other. Then they're brought together in the middle for packaging.

Getting all professional and organised with the placeholders thing by setting up a GitHub project in its repository, creating an issue, and assigning it to myself

The GitHub project stuff is pretty good, actually. Having specified the issue is part of the project, it automatically gets added to the "to do" column. Later, when it's "in progress" and I push the relevant changes, I can just put "Fixes #1" in the commit comment and it'll automatically get moved to "completed".

So basically like Jira but without the feature creep

"A Canterbury Tale" with Eric Portman.

A Canterbury Tale (1944) - IMDb

And so it was, the first feature today was the abouve "A Canterbury Tale (1944)" with Eric Portman.

It was very good, though some oik in the reviews disagreed & gave it 2*.

Tea/dinner was the remains of Sunday's roast beef with carrots & onions.

There was rather a lot of it really.

This evening's 2nd feature is "Run Silent Run Deep (1958)" with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster.

They're not getting on together very well. .

It remains to be seen if it's shades of "Crimson Tide".

Though the circumstances are rather different since they're not on a boomer able to start WWIII.

I've got both the long film version and the very, very long version that's the whole of the TV series spliced together into one film ("ALL the waiting", as somebody described it). The only question is when I'll have enough time to watch them

So, the nginx configuration is finally done, after I'd learned an awful lot about nginx configuration file directives for a Saturday

It now sits happily in front of the gunicorn server that runs the image generator. When a request comes in, it uses regular expressions to rewrite it into the underlying filename format, and if the image of that name already exists, it sends that back. Otherwise, it forwards the request to the app which generates and saves the image before returning it, so all future requests can find it and the app can put its feet up.

As this is using rewrite directives in a configuration file, I needed to handle the four cases separately: /123, /123x456, /123/colour, and/123x456/colour (all with optional trailing slashes, but that's the easy bit). Maybe there's a way to do it all as one rewrite, but I'm happy with it working as it is; if anything, it makes things a bit clearer, which is always good

ok, can it cook?

Nope. Utterly trivial little app; does one thing with a minimal amount of code, but only if it has to
