[pressgang] Quote of the Day, February 14, 2025

[Claire Douglas]

I have a memory of Kevin saying he uses some kind of database (not sure 
what format/kind) of all the quotes he's been posting over the years, 
and it produces a new one each day - or something like that.

There was a time in recent years when he lost access to it for a few 
days, so we were without quotes for a couple of days. He emailed about 
it at the time.

Cheers

Claire
