I must thank Aaron Freeman for sending me “The Replacements” DVD off my movies wish list – thanks Aaaron 🙂 He also mentioned the fact that he’d actually wanted to get me “Morrowind” for the XBox but that Amazon didn’t have a “buy” button for it – I checked and turns out that Amazon is not shipping the game outside the US for the moment! What’s up with that, I wonder? Is it for just this particular game or is this the case for any XBox game? I haven’t bothered to find out yet but might have to if Sierra ever releases “Malice” – now renamed to something like “Kat’s Tale” or something I think …

Haven’t heard anything at all about Snipper – good or bad :p It’s as if nobody really wants to work with the app or need the functionality it provides <g> Or then again, it might be like BOB in that it provides the kind of niche functionality that not many really want but the few who do, can’t live without :p As far as I know, there’s only a handful of people who use BOB and I’m probably the only one who currently uses Snipper … Ah well, it was a challenge to develop the HTML parsing and the exact logic to create a snippet but now that it’s done, I guess I probably will not work on it much further unless somebody else shows some interest in it …

And I’m using it already. I see that there are many people who would use it after it gets some documentation and it gets ramped up. It just started. Also, I wanted to say thanks Fahim for letting me know I could type into those drop down boxes. I don’t know how long it would have taken me to figure that out. That’s exactly what I was hoping for! And thank you also for writing back, and for saying you’ll add proxy support. You rock!

I just found an issue with sites that re-direct based on browser type. I checked the site out and it looks like it must be a server side re-direct. The user agent Snipper shows is “Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; Indy Library)”. Is there a way we could modify this based on each individual profile? That way it could look like an IE or Mozilla browser? Just more thinking out loud… Thanks!

Well I like it too, although I am struggling a bit to work out how to configure the tag bit.
