I wasn't planning on this, but there was a report that there was a problem with BingeWorthy, and I looked into it and was able to fix it.

When I added a feature that lets you ask ChatGPT to review the program you're looking at, I broke the ability to add a new program to the database. It took about 15 minutes to track down and verify and fix -- and now that very important function works again.

As long as I was in there working around, I updated the Bingeworthy RSS feed to only report program additions. The other events it was reporting just weren't as interesting.

I also added that feed to my blogroll on scripting.com.

I'd say it works a lot better now.

A few months ago, Amazon announced that Kindle users would no longer be able to download and back up their book libraries to their computers. Thankfully, I still have access to my library because I saw this video by Jared Henderson warning of the change and downloaded all ~400 of my books immediately.

The first benefit that came to my mind when I started thinking about this, was replicating commands. If I use a GUI, to replicate some complex action, I need to do a lot of clicking around, whereas using command line, I can run the command with one copy-paste command (or using history feature) as many times as I want without having to do any more work.

The new Billy Joel documentary — And So It Goes — on HBO was great. They had so much time to go deep on a lot of things. I actually knew next to nothing about him except the songs.

If you had asked a mathematician for advice on the Supreme Court ruling that money is speech, it was a totally foreseeable outcome that money would overwhelm speech, that the only speech would be money. We're right there now.
