programming today: I thought I'd start with something little. Just get the latest General Conference talks in plain-text, as I've done for years.
Error: Syntax.
Error: my language version is too much older than some dependencies. Upgrade needed.
Error: my coding evironment is 30-version too old. Upgrade needed.
Error: my Java was too old, so upgraded.
Error: my system was missing a crucial tool (Pandoc. last time using this tool was on a different computer). Installed it, which also updated 22 system packages, including my printer stuff.
Status: my original web scraper is working beatifully. Fingers crossed that nothing else broke from the accidental updates...
