Modern Code Is Rubbish

March 18th, 2008

I’ve was quite excited when I saw this… Templatemaker, because the idea in it is that rather than tell a web crawler what to do, you basically let the dog smell the rabbit, let it off the lead and then ask it what’s in it’s mouth when it comes back.

It didn’t work.  This function says it all…

num_holes( )

… but then, looking more closely at it, it can’t work. Because if you were to teach it two pages with songs on, such as “Frank Black” and “Hank Williams”, it will return…

 Fr{{hole}} Wi{{hole}}liams

… which is not what I (or anyone) wants.
