It looks and sounds interesting. It is a command line utility. Maybe someone can find  a nice Farr use of this tool.

This is PERFECT for use with czechboy's console plugin.

Combining these two, you should be able to make an alias that will fetch and extract data from a web page and display it inside the farr window.

I'd love to see some intrepid soul try to make it work.  See that thread above on the console plugin for more help using it with this program.

It sounds amazing. Think about checking your web mail in farr or checking latest Dc messages :)
