Hello J"o,
> You know about fortune?
Yes, but the entries can be terribly long sometimes, everybody has it, and
I don't feel like rewriting it in Python just yet =8). Somehow I like the
idea of a signature that is generated new for every email better than one
that is just stuff pulled out of a can...
The frustrating part is that I don't have a permanent online connection, so
I can't include the current weather or some other stuff I could grab from
a webpage...
> >>> time.strftime("%A", time.localtime(time.time()))
Ah, thank you. That and Danny Yoo's line.center() hint clean the code up
nicely...
Y, Scot
