I was thinking about Goodreads this morning and it occurred to me
that my book lists are probably available as RSS feeds. I took
a look and I was right!
I took my read books & currently reading books lists and fetched
them via curl and piped them to xmlstarlet to parse. I grabbed the
book names & authors, and output the results to a text file on my
gopher hole [0][1].
I wanted to run this as a cgi originally. I got it all working to
standard out, but on SDF, cgi's run with very little access to the
systsem and xmlstarlet is not allowed. Instead I set up a cron to
run my script each night at midnight. We'll see how that goes,
I guess.
