Print ArticleTwo weeks ago I realized something : 90% of the news posted here come from 3-4 news source, and posting involve multiple copy/paste operations. So I decided to let the computer do its magic : automated news parsing! I quickly learned Perl (which I must say, is very easy to use / powerful) and coded a parser; right now, I just have to paste interesting urls and 90% of the tiresome job is done! I just need to assign categories, do some editing, check if everything went right, and it's done! Which leave me with more time to work on the site... now if only people would post comments / start threads, we could chat about biology ;) Seriously, I'm puzzled : people register in the forum, but don't post. Is there some problem I'm not aware of? If so, there's a contact email at the very bottom of the page, feel free to contact me!
