Nice.

You put way more effort into that nonsense than you normal Blues blogs.

Not that you don't put effort into your other blogs, but this was kind of strange.

You can't get a Blues' GDT out until after I've left work and gone home for the day (if you get one out at all)......

But you can put time and effort into this?

What can I say? It's my current mission in live to make you as unhappy as possible.

Well, that and trying to figure out how to pull game-level data from several different sites across the Internet, compensate for the fact that the OHL doesn't have game summary sheets for any North Bay game from 1997/98 to 2001/02 without having to go pull the player stats directly, and figure out how to get the same data for games in the Q (which appear to be gone from 2008/09 back unless I want to pull the box scores from the Q and write a special piece of code to try and sort it out and then map it back to the roster data and hope it's all clean) ... but all of that is really secondary at the moment.

Ooooh.. Making a database of Hockey stats? This has been on my 'If I hadn't gotten married and had three kids, I'd have time for this but now probably not list' for years. The crazy random stats you could come up with if you had all that data in a well organized database....

I couldn't read it. I got to the 7:10am mark and realized it was going to be too much work when it took me nearly 7 seconds to scroll all the way down to the end.

Had you blogged this yesterday I would have told you what a great job you did. Witty and well-played.

What do you do in Memorex?

Nothing wrong with a joke, except when it's basically what Down Goes Brown does all the time in a much wittier way and often in the form of a tweet. Too long to be funny. Knew the rest by the fifth line.
