Title: Further work on BBC News via Gopher
Date: 2022-04-24
Device: Laptop
Mood: Tired
-------------------------------------------------

Tired today; lots of family stuff this weekend,
and it's Sunday afternoon already.

I did some more work recently on my nascent BBC
News scraper/reformatter/publisher. Right now it
can scrape (most) articles from BBC News, remove
cruft, and output the plain text. There are some
bugs and edge cases which I'm still working on.

Most importantly, it's now updating on a fixed
schedule; at the top of each hour. I hope that
makes it a more useful resource now, given that
previously it could go a week or more without
updating.
