Description: | I created this lil script a couple of months ago to have all the comix I read in the morning on one page. I also wanted to be able to chose what to see and I wanted to be able to add comix without having to modify the script itself. The plugins are simple config files with a piece of code as a value which gets eval'ed. The script then puts them all in a nice overview on 1 single page. An example plugin (UserFriendly) is included in the code section. Cheers, Arjen |
