Hello,
You would think that after over thirty years of being involved with
computers professionally, and after 25 years of using Linux, I would
have learned that if I was regularly in the habit of typing:
rm *~
In a directory to get rid of nano backup files, then it is inevitable I
would one day type:
rm *
Thus it was that yesterday morning I deleted all the original source of
all blog posts for raspberryvi.org.
Never mind...
I have written a Python script and library that scrapes the articles
from online at raspberryvi.org using BeautifulSoup and re-creates the
original markdown.
Just a little checking is all that is needed to make sure each article
is as it was before.
I usually use git to initialize a git repository in any tree I am
working in, but had neglected to do so for raspberryvi.org.
Tough lesson. But hey, it was fun writing the Python scraping code.
