Digging back in

Having recently been downsized from oversee.net, I'm using some of the time to revisit some of my old projects. At the top of the stack is lalocalfood.com, where the first phase is an improved version of my map of Los Angeles farmer's markets. Coming back to some of the old code, it's interesting to see how much time is necessary to recover my memories of some of this code I haven't touched in years. That said, once I get over that, I'm finding that my code has surprisingly good design where very little effort is required to handle new cases. I should be finished with the scraper code to collect the farmer's market data from the two main sites with one more day's work.
