Well, I guess I didn't sanitise that well enough...

Over on SoCoder, this morning's poll read..
Absolutely! Here are 50 more movie-related polls based on concepts and characters
Because I scooped up a bunch of poll ideas from ChatGPT and leisurely threw them into the script, hoping it could cope.
It didn't cope.
I now have to add a "check it's actually a poll" thing into the poll script, as well as remove this morning's none-poll.
So I deleted it from the MySQL database, and BOOM!! The poll script generated tomorrow's poll.
And the next days.
And I scurried to fix my error.
And the next day's poll was created.
Aargh!!!
It's ok, I fixed it. It's running smoothly, now.
But on the "Poll Scores" page, you can very clearly see the next four day's polls, ready and waiting.
Dangit..
I CBA trying to fix that. It'll do as it is.
By Tuesday, all should be back to some kind of normality.
I hope.
Ugh..
It's now 10am, and I've barely starting my Saturday.
What a chaotic weekend, already!!!
"Houston.. If you can hear us, we need instructions."

The poll script went awry today,
It didn't ask us anything.
Instead it slipped into a trance,
And posted A.I. Garbage.
[bridge]
The poll didn't make any sence at all.
And so I tried to fix it.
My fixing caused much more to fail.
So I scrambled again to repair.
[break]
[chorus]
It's falling apart.
The script isn't wrong.
The things that I gave it,
Were slightly awry.
I shouldn't have used,
The raw A.I. output.
It all got confused,
And then it broke even more.
[verse]
I guess that I'm happy,
I fixed it all up.
The next few days polls,
Are all quite amok.
[break]
And now that it's working.
I'll go back to coding.
The things that I should.
Or at least what I could.
[chorus]
It's falling apart.
The script isn't wrong.
The things that I gave it,
Were slightly awry.
I shouldn't have used,
The raw A.I. output.
It all got confused,
And then it broke even more.
[Dave is staring at his monitor while Green drinks tea]
Dave: Oh no... oh no no no...
Green: What now? Has your cola-powered cooling system sprung a leak again?
Dave: Worse! Someone's actually using PhileSplitter!
Green: I thought that died when you added the exploding fanfare?
Dave: No, someone's still using it. And they can't get it working on Windows 11 Arm.
Green: Well, that's what happens when, instead of fixing actual issues, you spend three days just changing font colours.
Dave: That was a critical update!
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Storage Room
[Dave is rummaging through old computer equipment]
Dave: I know it's here somewhere...
Green: You could just buy a new Arm devkit computer.
Dave: Aha! Found it! My trusty Archimedes!
Green: That's not exactly what I meant.
Dave: Look at this beauty! Four whole megabytes of RAM! ARM2 processor!
Green: You're getting more like me every day.
Dave: (shudders) eeuw.. Imagine if all I drank was Tea. (shudders again)
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Main Area
[Dave has the Archimedes set up next to his modern PC]
Dave: Right, if I can just get PhileSplitter running on this...
Green: Dave, that thing's almost as old as my old mainframe computer.
Dave: But it's got ARM! It's practically the same thing!
Green: It's really not.
Dave: Just need to load up the development environment...
[The Archimedes makes a concerning whirring noise]
A.I. Green: I presume that wasn't supposed to happen like that, Dave.
Green: Should it be making that sound?
Dave: Yeah, that's normal.
[pooooof]
Dave: Though the smoke is new...
