Sorry Dana, health insurance issues sucks. Sorry, msbelle, dealing with fraud sucks.

With the news, I'm trying not to keep peeking at Twitter and keep working on parsing strings into time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Perl's Date::Parse module is seriously one of the most versatile pieces of code I've ever come across. It can deal with pretty much any unambiguous date or time string you throw at it. It just works.

msbelle - my experience is that once you buy/refinance a house, all kinds of scams and problems show up. The mortgage lenders cheerfully sell you information to anyone who asks. Good luck dealing with them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Bennett, I bought for cash, no mortgage though. This may be from a prelim application just to get preapproval numbers for a mortgage. That or the Capital One data breach or one of the other hundred data breaches in the last few years.

Fuckers.

Fuckers indeed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woke up with either stomach flu or food poisoning. Woot. Still easier to deal with than identity fraud, I'm sure.

Ugh, identity theft sucks.

As does stomach flu.

I'm sorry the vultures intruded, Katerina Bee.

Yeah, I haven't been able to find a NPM module to do what I need which is not just parse a string into a time, but also validate that character by character the text is leading to a valid time representation.
