So whatever happened to those great 'quotes' files that somebody used
to compile after every episode? I used to faithfully append each new
batch of simpsons quotes to my ever growing simpsons quotes file...
but it hasn't grown any now since quote #1338 from the 'Lisa the
Greek' episode. Has anybody out there been extracting quotes from the
capsules? Am I the only one who was collecting these things? Inquiring
minds want to know...

No, you're not the only one - I also haven't seen them since 1338.
I think the guy who was doing it got too busy, but before he resigned
he posted the script he was using to extract the quotes, so I guess if
someone really wanted to do it they could.

Here's the script:

sed '1,/^> Quote/d' $2|awk 'BEGIN{q='"$1"'}/^=/&&NR>2{exit}/^$/{f=0}/^[^%=]/{if(!f)++q;f=1;printf"%5d%%%s\n",q,$0}'

That's one long line.

I am actually quite disappointed that people just extract and append.
This means that they miss out on the changes (sometimes significant) in
the capsule updates, leading to the one thing I fear most: Outdated
information. Some of my typos have been quite embarrassing, and it's
even more embarrassing when I fix the typo, but nobody picks up on it.
That's why I have the wacky redistribution requirement, to make sure
nobody distributes outdated versions.

Quick exercise: Type the following

grep -s bidos quotesfile && echo Aaaaargh

If it prints "Aaaaargh", then you need to update your quotes file.

What everyone ought to do is chuck the quotes file and rebuild it
from scratch every month or so.

Sorry folks. I've been neglecting my task.
A while ago, I offered to take over the job
as the curator of the simpsons quotes from
John Connelly who resigned to the real world.
Yep.. to get a job! :)

Yes, this is a nifty little script that was posted a while back.

Yep.. me too.

That's why I have a script to re-tabulate the quotes from scratch.
I'll post the master list after this... Stay tune...

As the maintainer of the Simpsons archive site on FidoNet land,
I have compiled a master list of the simpsons quotes.
As the curator of the simpsons quotes, I will send the `quote'
update every month or so. If the previous capsules were to
remain unchanged, I will send ONLY the `quote' update for the
new episodes. All you have to do is to append it to your
current list. Otherwise, the new master list will be posted.

Right now, we have 1773 Simpsons quotes!!!! The master
list is to follow in 10 parts... Stay tune for details.

Notice I'm missing the capsules for

7g09 Call of the Simpsons
7g10 Homer's Night Out
7g11 Jacques to be Wild (AKA: Life In the Fast Lane)
7g13 The Crepes of Wrath

thus the above episodes are not included. I don't know why the
above episodes are missing.. I believe Raymond Chen just has
not got around to them yet. (one of these days he will :)
I have also checked the cs.widener.edu archive and the episodes
mentioned above are not there.

Below is the current listing of the starting quote number of each
episode.

Folks, I made a mistake in the SED pattern below. Though it probably
would work in some cases. Therefore, I have made a small change to the
script. This line

num=`tail -1 $QUOTE | sed 's/[a-Z%\-].*//g' | awk '{ printf("%s",$1) }' `

should be changed to

num=`tail -1 $QUOTE | sed 's/%/ %/' | awk '{ printf($1) }' `

For those with problems, try the C program that I posted earlier.
It should be more portable.

And yes, only I know where springfield is. :)
