I found this episode very useful. It gave me a lot of ideas. Looking forward to more like it.

Worst ever?

I thought I heard you say at the end of this episode that it might be the worst HPR ever? No way! I really enjoyed this, was great hearing how you worked your way through the problem and arrived at a usable solution. Please do more!

Cleaning up the script

You could clean up the script a bit by using a "here document" instead of a temporary SQL file, something like

sqlite3

Excellent show!

As I was listening to this show on my drive in to work I was thinking that it epitomizes what we mean by something of interest to hackers. I want to hear more from norrist.

I have never heard of a "here document". Thanks for the tip.

I enjoyed this

A good topic for a show I thought. I enjoyed following your thinking and your solution. The audio was good and the background noise was not distracting at all.

I never use full paths to commands, though I can see cases where perhaps I should. Have you been bitten by not doing this in the past? If so I'd like to hear about it.

I wondered why the date program used in the crontab entry was /bin/date whereas it was /usr/bin/date in the main script. Are you working across different OSes or architectures?

Looking forward to more!
