One of the things I will release for NANY will be a small desktop application, temporarily named LL Robot Web Link Captor. Nothing very fancy (It's fancy  ) but I think it will be useful to bloggers. It was inspired by App's father's blog on jazz music, but it has nothing to do with Jazz. I'll post a beta as time approaches. |

Can you give us some more tantalizing hints, mouser?  |

Yesterday I sat down and planned out the application and figured out all of the unresolved issues I had regarding User Interface, so I'm pretty much ready to start coding.
dMbTiger -- we shall see soon, hopefully in the next week or so during testing; it's hard for me to anticipate how good a job the tool is going to do with it until we try.
One thing i'm still contemplating is whether to make a pure native windows app, or whether to go cross-platform and write it in something like python with a thin user interface wrapper..

Considering the potential usefulness, a cross-platform app would probably be very appropriate. BTW are you planning to make the target site a fixed element or a variable the user can insert (which would be potentially very useful, since the information needed for retrieval may be on different sites.  |

Completely configurable in both the engines/sites supported and output formats.

Update: The first set of PYTHON alpha backend scripts for LLRobot is complete and working.
So it looks like this is going to be at least cross-platform in the backend code (I'll probably write a windows-only GUI front end as part of NANY to make it easy to use).

Oh, that sure is a teaser. I wonder if anyone can guess what this actually does, yet. |

I'll have a better idea how it will work for me once I get my hands on a copy: when do you think you'll have a working copy available?

The alpha version is now working.. Needs a ton of tweaking and error reporting but it does work.
I *agonized* over the user interface for this tool, and in particular how to solve a nasty dilemma involving batching operations.. I hope the program is usable without driving people insane.
I'll be making a screencast video to show how to use it.

The "LL" in "LLRobot" must be the key...... now what could those two Ls stand for?
