[wplug] web content monitoring script

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October Chris assaulted the keyboard and produced:


| You can grab their RSS feed (http://slashdot.org/index.rss).  There is
| software out there that will check the feeds you tell it to and then display
| them nicely for you.  I can't think of the url for that right now.


that was just an example. i suppose i should be even more specific :). i
want a tool that given a url and some pattern describing the content of
interest, will return weather or not that content has changed. slashdot is
nice because it has the rss feed, but not all sites do.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
