Nope.  Works fine here.

No, they really sneezed.  Just apparently didn't sneeze on the right part of the code....

[SamuriHL]

Ummmm.  WTH are you saying?

[johnlgalt]

lmfao - sorry, dude - I was just messing with you on your sneezed comment.

[SamuriHL]

Given that I'm still working after 12 or so hours....yea, no.

[johnlgalt]

Now I know.  Obviously I didn't before.  NH is a bit of a drive from GA.

More work needs to be done on this.  I'm not amused with the stupid s*** Google pulled here.  And yes, if they sneeze on their webpages again, it'll break.  I need to find a way to make it much more robust so we can stop dealing with this crap.  The beta stuff will be a pain in the ass to add back, but, we'll get there.  At least it's working again.

The reason you're doing webpage-scraping is because the links are not static?

[SamuriHL]

Even if they are, I don't want to have to update every time they release new builds.  I want to "see" what's current.  But I've learned much about web technologies since I first wrote this program.  My current job has exposed me to a lot.  I'm currently working on JSP/Struts (eww) stuff and our new stuff is all Angular based.  So I can make it work better with some time.  Then it can adapt to whatever stupid nonsense they want to throw at me.

Nice.

 

Well, until someone over there sneezes again.

[SamuriHL]

If I can make it robust enough it won't matter.

Yup - that's always the end goal.
