In a sudden fit of randomness (well, not really), I decided to add a Daily Jargon thingy to my Computers section. In the making of the program that gives you these wonderful pieces of hacker culture, I helped Jay find some horrible bugs in his Menes Library, and then switched to using XSL/T for the parts that had the bugs after they were fixed. Not, however, because of the bugs, but because it (XSL/T) is better suited to what I wanted to do and because Jay urged me to do so.

So, here are some of the feeping creatures that jargon.cgi contains:

Path	Description	Example
^/daily/(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})?$	Displays a glossary entry for each day. Adding YYYY-MM-DD will give you the entry for that date.	/daily/2004-09-05
^/random/(\d+)?$	Displays a random glossary entry for each request. Adding a decimal number will give you the entry that would come up if that number were produced randomly.	/random/357
^/[0A-Z]/.*$	Displays the given glossary entry.	/F/feeping-creaturism.html
