dailystrips
If you enjoy online comic strips (and who doesn’t?) dailystrips is for you:
dailystrips is a perl script to automatically download your favorite online comics from the web. It currently supports over 500 comics and offers a ‘local’ mode in which strips are downloaded and saved locally to speed access time.
Installation was straight forward, but when i tried to run it, it complained that the LWP::UserAgent module was missing. Fink to the rescue the required libwww was installed within minutes and dailystrips was ready to roll.
Granted, the defs file isn’t up to date and considering the last update was released more than a year ago it’s not too far off to assume it’s been abandoned, but it still manages to fetch many strips perfectly well and changing the defs file doesn’t look too difficult.
Now if only it’d output rss feeds rather than ugly, old-fashioned html…
