Well, I was reading the ThinkGeek.com fortune page on my computer (which has a crapy WiFi card which gives painfuly slow connection speeds). And I thought, \"boy, wouldn\'t it be great if someone made a program could download an \'x\' amount of fortunes, and let you read them at your leasure.
After not realy searching much and not finding such a program, I thought, \"Why don\'t I just write one myself. After all, my C++ skills need improvement.\"
And so I did.
So.. Here it is:
http://files.upl.silentwhisper.net/upload3/FortuneStealer_0.4.zipFor information on how to use it, consult the Read_Me file.
Oh, and if you want it to not stop no matter how many times it found a fortune that you already have, just put in \'0\' (zero) when it asks \"Stop after how many repeats.\"
P.S.
I\'m writing a \"Reader\" program, which will allow you more control over the fortunes when you read them (you can select fortunes by number, or make it give you a random fortune, or what not), but I couldn\'t find a way to take HTML code and make it output as normal text on the screen (or at least write it to a different file as regular text).
If anyone knows of any methods to do that, please inform me.
*edit*
Feedback?
