Less Wrong Rationality Quotes since April 2009, sorted by points.

Pre-alpha, one hour of work. I plan to improve it.

EDIT: Here is the source code. 80 lines of python. It makes raw text output, links and formatting are lost. It would be quite trivial to do nice and spiffy html output.

EDIT2: I can do html output now. It is nice and spiffy, but it has some CSS bug. After the fifth quote it falls apart. This is my first time with CSS, and I hope it is also the last. Could somebody help me with this? Thanks.

EDIT3: Bug resolved. I wrote another top-level comment. about the final version, because my access logs suggested that the EDITs have reached only a very few people. Of course, an alternative explanation is that everybody who would have been interested in the html version already checked out the txt version. We will soon find out which explanation is the correct one.

Not having to side scroll would be spiffy.

If you're using Firefox, there's an add-on for that.

Or, if you're lazy like me, you can select 'Page Source' under the View menu and then select the 'Wrap Long Lines' option.
