Come, HTML::TokeParser

Sometimes you don't realize the solution to your problem is staring you in the face. My friends-of-friends list is very difficult to read, because one friend of mine has friended a weather service which updates about once every six minutes. Consequently, in every 20-item friends-of-friends page, there are nineteen weather updates and one item I might actually care to read. Because I have been awake all night, I have cobbled together a little toy which downloads the last 350 friends-of-friends posts, strips the weather reports, does a little twiddling, and displays the results in my browser.

Of course, one could suggest that weather belongs on the client side. There are some fine plugins...

Don't tell me you missed my crusade against anti-Semitic hatemongers? I was mildly proud of myself.

I thought it was very well put, myself.

No, I saw your crusade. I approved heartily, and sent a note to Google. You are my friend, not a friend-of-friends (in the LJ sense).
