Dylan - For the sites they are a-changin'by jplindstrom (Monsignor) |

Having started to follow a few blogs, I needed a reminder of when they change. RSS? I don't know, and I don't know how it works. And web services, like http://www.changedetection.com/, doing this don't check regularly enough.
So I wrote a script, obviously; Dylan - For the sites they are a-changin' Note 1: It's Windows-biased in the way it starts the web browser when a page changes, but the action can easily be replaced with, say, sending a mail. Note 2: Why doesn't HEAD work? Why doesn't the headers contain the document's change time? I was under the impression that it should.
