Delicious macchiato at Bradbury’s in Madison. Definitely real deal.
Macchiato report from Barriques in Madison. Okay, slightly above average.
Agree.
@jdludlow: Ah crap. April Fools Day is almost here already? If you’re “hilarious” and have a website, keep it to yourself ok?

MediaWiki Template Get Hostname
I was working on a template for one my personal wikis and needed to get the hostname for a given URL. Using the capabilities of the Parser Functions extension for MediaWiki I whipped up this template. I figured others may find this useful so here it is. The first version has a bunch of spaces and newlines added to make it more readable.
{{#vardefine: hoststart | {{#expr: {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | // }} + 2 }} }}
{{#vardefine: hostend | {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | / | {{#expr: {{#pos: {{{1|}}} | // }} + 2 }} }} }}
{{#vardefine: hostlen | {{#expr: {{#var: hostend }} - {{#var: hoststart }} }} }}
{{#sub: {{{1|}}} | {{#var: hoststart}} | {{#var: hostlen}} }}
To put it in your own MediaWiki, copy this version that removes the spaces and newlines.
To use this template put it on a page like
Template:Get hostname and then call it in your
pages as
{{Get hostname|https://www.thingelstad.com/another-reason-you-need-to-use-a-password-manager/}}
which will return www.thingelstad.com.

Joining the Dollar Shave Club
This Dollar Shave Club service seems to be making the rounds and it happened to be a time when I was running out of blades for my Gillete Mach 3 razor. I’m always amazed at how much the blades cost. The 15 pack at the store is nearly $40. Sure it’s spread over 15 weeks, but it still seems like a lot. So the Dollar Shave Club $6 a month plan sounded interesting.
I fired up Soulver and did some quick math. I gave the classic Mach 3 blades a fair treatment using the price from Amazon if I subscribe to have them sent on a defined schedule, $33.24.
$33.24/15 week = 2.216 $/week
2.216 $/week by month = $9.64
$6/4 week = 1.50 $/week
1.5 $/weekby month = $6.52
$6.52 as % off $9.64 = 32.31%
I’ll happily sign up to save 32% and not have to think about getting blades anymore. Brilliant service and good price. They just need to execute great.
