Who made the IBM set? Does the CTRL/ALT keys fit on the Customizer?

Ah, thanks. Good reason for whoever gets the set to get a Model M or 101 Customizer then :D

They'll be not yours, anyway. They fit my 1989 model M perfectly, so it is clear that I will get them!

Its really cool. Especially if you are subscribed to the voting newsletter. His script even emails you a copy of the results every 12 hours or something. I think he parses the "new pm" notification emails and runs the script based on that.

Yeah I know, I get his emails every day. Does he use curl or something and then discard all the irrelevant html? Or mayhe he use one of the modules on Cpan to create a stateful "web fetcher" and ditto..

Ah yes the notification emails. Then it's quite easy if he is using his own mail server. Just setup a pipe in .forward to his script.

Maybe he will arrive here soon to tell us how it works if we spam some animated gifs.

Code: Select all

function fetch_remote_page($url)
{
    $contextOptions = array(
        'http'=>array(
            'method'=>"GET",
            'header'=>"Accept-language: en\r\n" .
                "Cookie: bbuserid=<yourid>; bbpassword=<your hashed password, see your cookie>\r\n"
        )
    );

    $context = stream_context_create($contextOptions);

    return file_get_contents($url, FALSE, $context);
}
..then preg_match the hell out of what you receive
