After about 20 minutes of fiddling with my laptop, I got it to connect to the wireless network and ran my ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/03/19/hate-list-part-4/ Ahead of my presentation on Monday, here's a screenshot of the program I've written in action: When you click on one of the topics in the table on the left, a window pops up showing the page that the topic represents. The window doesn't show the actual layout of the page ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/03/18/screenshot/ At the moment the coding part is going ok. I'm a bit behind w.r.t. my schedule, but that's mostly been down to feeling ropey for the larger part of last week. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up over the next week, but this shouldn't be too much of a ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/02/13/current-project-status/ So, I started to wonder why I only ever got 4 pages of urls whenever I looked at blogs with a lot of links on them.

Departmental Machines all use Java 1.5blahblahblah. Will have to find laptop-carrying ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/01/30/proxy-server-and-graphing/ After hours and hours hacking away at the spider code to try and make it work under the latest version of Java, it looks like it'll be easier just to revert to the previous version of Java. Which is slightly annoying, but at least it should all compile correctly without arguing ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/01/26/rollback/ Manageability - Open Source Web Crawlers Written in Java A list of various open source spiders written in Java - something to look at. http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/01/23/manageability20-20open20source20web20crawlers20written20in20java/ At the moment, I'm working on a smaller version of my initial idea that should be far more manageable and less completely daunting. Anyway, the spider part of the project is still important and I've been thinking about whether it should be recursive or not. If it was programmed recursively, the ... http://www.herdivineshadow.com/blog/2006/01/19/to-recurse-or-not-to-recurse/ An unprecedented 3 entries in one day!
