Story Time! Just fixed a monster bug caused by a single character

Hey Treehouse Dwellers!

I'm working on building a side project, CommutePop, and I've had a bug that has been dogging me for about a week. Nothing helped. I could not diagnose it. I even learned some testing just to try and track it down (definitely going to continue to pursue that, btw). COULDN'T TRACK IT DOWN!!!!

Well, it turns out there was an extra slash tucked away in a cron job that was getting added to a url, so the task wasn't running. One. Freaking. Slash. Haha. I'm feeling a mix of anger, relief, and joy. I'm very happy to have it working, but I can't believe I spent a week finding a forward slash. I'm sure you can all relate :).

Happy coding!

-Greg
