Electronic Notebook

I used the LMU page out of laziness to find another one with easily accesible data. I used a website called upsidedowntext.com to flip all of the text on the page upside down. And in honor of It, I changed all the images to a picture of a movie ad for It. The first part of the curl assignment, once I understood what I was actually being asked to do, didn't take that long. I simply looked at the notes on the BioDB 2017 homepage and adpated some of the code examples. The next part took a lot of process of elimination. I got the first part (grep) pretty easily, but it took a lot of attempts to get the sed to properly clean the output to just the answers.
