MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 31
Good morning
March 31, 2025
This is the first daily post made by cronjob using a little script I put together. It worked!
It was too difficult to figure out how to get it to say "31st" instead of "31", for example, but other than that it's cool. We still have that counter, plus I'm also able to mention the day of the week in the body, as well as the title. It's the little things, right?
Great shave. You & I (Will Die) is a horrible name for a soap, but it's a great scent.
Something like this would probably work (untested):
# Get the day of month as a number
day=$(date +%-d)
# Determine the correct suffix
case $day in
1|21|31) suffix="st";;
2|22) suffix="nd";;
3|23) suffix="rd";;
*) suffix="th";;
esac
# Print the date with the ordinal suffix
formatted_date=$(date +"%B %-d$suffix, %Y")
Another way scripting in bash kinda sucks: you can’t call off to nice easy to use libraries that make this sort of thing trivial :)
Update - tested and working. Thanks!
Sweet!
I found maybe that exact same thing but not as refined as yours and sort of gave up on it. I had to focus on making everything else work first haha.
This sort of makes sense to me, though. I'll try to incorporate it.
Great all-orange shave with the wonderful Heljestrand 14.

A great and very close shave, and the MdC base really makes for a slick base. I think this will become a favorite very soon.
Have a good evening!

Green Fig into Oro Valley worked quite well. An easy, comfortable shave to start the week and end the month. Congrats again to Catie's Bubbles for the March Madness win!
Have a great day all.

This was a test shave for two razors that I honed on my LPB coticule. These razors were finished on water, whereas previous honings on this stone finalized with either oil or soapy water. This was a very good shave; excellent by closeness standards, but I nicked myself, and throughout the shave I felt that both edges could be pushed further.
