    Comics Plugin/Script?

    I've been working on a new plugin (just a script now) to download and build a comics directory. I am currently at 289 different strips (many of them can be fetched from several different servers) but willing to take suggestions for others you would like to see. Please post the comic name and a URL where it can be found. If I can figure out the regex to grab the image, I will include it.

    Nice thing about this script is that I can build html files and directories so I can go back to previous dates! Working on an interface to control the selection of comics to download, and a few other house keeping items before I send out the plugin!

    Just wondering what the interest is from other users...would this be something you would want?

    Here is a list of what I have so far:

    Wow! Very nice comprehensive list! Every comic I like is on the list. I currently use a very old comic script that no longer fetches most comics. I'd love to try out something new.

        I still use the old comic asp page you refered to. At times it does not get all of the comics. Some times it does. I have modified it a few times to deleat comics that are no longer around. I have also added comics. It is basicly there for show when others visit my servers.

          Script is barely beta, but email me at aocomic at mickeyargo dot com with what version of homeseer you are running and the OS for the box.

          BTW since there will be significant file editing to run this in beta, if you cannot figure out the email address, please don't ask to be a beta tester...just wait till I release the plugin

            The comic strip plug-in will be delayed for a little while...I have a higher priority plug-in that I need to get out. All those that have requested to be beta-testers will remain on the list and I'll get it out to you all as soon as I can!

                I think I will just release the script this weekend on the Script & Plug-In Library thread, and work on a plug-in later with all the enhancements I wanted to add.

                Yes, xkcd will be on there...I wanted it myself
