Tips on Writing a Scraper at Dellanave
This is a nice little article with some advice for people writing scrapers. The timing of this couldn’t be better as I’m currently reading a book about building webbots and scrapers.
A Quick Recent Entrecard Drops Widget at TechiePortal
I promise this will be my last mention of Entrecard for awhile but this was too slick to pass it up. This post at TechiePortal walks you through making a simple WordPress widget to display a list of the latest Entrecard users to drop their card on your blog.

Network Solutions - Squat for the Win at Command Line Warriors
I hope everyone who has a domain with Network Solutions or ever just looked up a domain’s availability there takes the time to read this article on the latest controversy in domaining. You should read the whole post but the short version is that every time someone checked on a domain at Network Solutions the company put a hold on it for themselves. Unbelievable.
Scorched Earth at the ThinkMac Blog
Anyone using a Mac probably heard the news that the extremely popular NetNewsWire was released for free last week. I’ve already seen an increase in RSS subscribers to this blog using the program. But what you might not have considered is how this change in NetNewsWire’s pricing has affected other independent developers making RSS readers on the Mac. To get one person’s perspective, check out the developer of NewsLife’s blog and his post “Scorched Earth“.

Thanks for your Wednesday post regarding DoshDosh as I am new to blogging and this appears to be a very good site that will help me out. Thanks also for the heads up re: Networks Solutions. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy coming to your site.

That Network Solutions article was an eye opener. I’ve come to think that if you’re interested in buying a domain, just buy it!
