TFF Team Picker went Cloud-wards

For the three of you who care, my Tele­graph Fan­tasy Foot­ball team picker just got fid­dled with.

I had got­ten quite annoyed with hav­ing to find a machine with a Python inter­preter and un-proxied inter­net access, then down­load­ing the script, every time I wanted to run the damn thing. So I moved it all online!

The script itself now runs on a nightly cron job, so it should refresh its data every day. It gen­er­ates a sta­tic HTML page which any­one can view, so sev­eral users can get one day’s results with­out run­ning the script mul­ti­ple times.

Also: This thing beat Alan Hansen and Jose Mour­inho last week. Hah! Squishy famous foot­ball meat­bags are no match for software!
