Experiment log

This is the first entry so there are is a lot to note.


 * Most time formats can be input/output by the #time: extention.
 * The format we use most is "Y-m-d (l)"
 * The link input formats are usually "Ymd"
 * Othars tweets can be had by the tweet, the page or multiple pages.

Useful Othar urls:

http://twitter.com/Othar this gives you the most recent tweet and one page of what came before.

http://twitter.com/Othar/status/1776143373 this gives you one specific tweet

http://twitter.com/Othar?max_id=1776143373&page=1&twttr=true this give you the specific tweet and one page of what came before

(proposed) though maybe drop the "link"? http://twitter.com/Othar?max_id=1776143373&page=3&twttr=true this give you the specific tweet and three pages of what came before


 * Preloads cannot easily be given arguments AFAICT.
 * This is rather disappointing. Ideally you would have some way to quote a transcription w/ arguments so that it would be evaluated in the context of the preload page.
 * Currently wikimedia does other bizarre stuff and restrictions ensue, limiting function. Sigh.
 * I wonder if there is a way around this.
 * Named arguments in a url for example.
