@PonySlaystation let's just say it's a picture viewer/downloader that makes it a whole lot easier to browse a certain site that contains lots of pictures of interest for a guy.
-
-
@irene didn't know that... Always thought it was a "same color" thing as only Asians girls work for me.
-
@zerouplink well it is. I should be coding other stuff to prepare for interviews, learn new tech, clean the house. Instead I end up building programs that collect so much information that I spend even more time processing it all.

@irene
-website updates scraper (10-20/day, used to be more but plugins for Futurism site broke, that would add like 20/day)
-internet comics scraper (1-5/day)
-subscription emails scraper processor (30+/wk)
-TED Talks tanscript downloader (200+ total so far)
I think you get the point -
@billgates hey can you share your programs? Help a brother out? 😂
-
@zerouplink which one?
I'm worried though if I open source it and everyone uses then the Site owner will noticed and then change the HTML so it breaks the Scraper...
Also these are all C#, WPF. -
@billgates
The one to um, download those "interesting" pictures and the commit strip. -
@zerouplink Here's Commit Strip, follow the pictures to setup.
Extract the Extensions folder to a Seperate Folder actually...
Program has to create the Comix folder I think or maybe that was created and the app just creates the DB file... I don't remember.

@billgates Your drive link is broken. Can you update it?
-
Oh because i edited the comment... so link got cut off
https://drive.google.com/file/d/... -
Its a zip, download the zip itself... Drive shows the contents.
NLegs but this is like very Alpha.... It works on my machine but... lots of things incomplete. Hint: get a SQLite editor.
https://drive.google.com/open/... -
@billgates need to register NLegs, didn't include chromedriver which is needed.
-
@zerouplink NLegs won't work.... Startup bugs....
-
@kondanta well that's why I'm now using Selenium. It's actually for UI testing but if you can't find a browser, you can melee it do whatever you want...
I kind of just came to an insight that my computer is sort of my partner in crime.
I "teach" it how to do something that I'm probably better of not doing or should do in moderation... But then it gives me access to so much of the stuff, I spend a lot more time doing it... more effectively.
So I actually don't save much time because it makes it easier so I now do even more...
I would post some screenshots but its uhh..... NSFW... at least this one is.
