Corn

Richard:

trying to find a Philips MRI system that projects 360° calming images of cornfields around you

Elaina:

ooohh

Richard:

can't find it, of course
but they do have an open MRI
which is much better

Elaina:

clearly they have never seen Children of the Corn.

Neat hacking

I enjoy a nice, self-contained problem. Today I decided to tackle decoding and formatting RFC 3966 URIs — tel: URIs.

* (decode-tel-uri
  "tel:+1-234-567-8900;ext=1234")

"tel"
:GLOBAL
"+1-234-567-8900"
(("ext" . "1234"))
NIL

* (decode-tel-uri 
  "tel:123-456;phone-context=+1-234;isub=1234")

"tel"
:LOCAL
"123-456"
(("isub" . "1234"))
"+1-234"

* (format-tel-uri 
  "tel:+1-234-567-8900;ext=1234"
  :remove-country-code "1")

"(234) 567-8900, ext. 1234"

* (format-tel-uri
  "tel:123-456;phone-context=+1-234;isub=1234")

"123-456, local to +1-234"

Good ol' CL-PPCRE!
