Hi (again)

Hello people,
I have not been active on here lately. I was kinda playing games all the time, not working on anything special. But with school starting (I study computer science and mathematics), I'm getting back into programming in C and PHP. I'm also preparing a modest entry for the October contest
So I just wanted to say Hey
See you,
Conrad

Welcome back
I got 5 entries already, I'm slightly worried that it's going to take a long time to go through them !
I think there were 5 entries in total last time ! (I think it was a few more actually)

Cool
I'm not getting my hopes up too much anyway. I guess there are some insane coders that would do such a thing in like an hour or something, right ?
But anyways, this thing is keeping me busy. It's a great idea ! It's original
I would have worked on that contest even if the price was an ice cream or something in that price range =D

The example I showed in the video took about 15 minutes ish, but it wasn't very good. I'll show it when the result is announced.

Well, I spent most of my afternoon on working to get all links from a page, all as absolute URLs, regardless of what is provided on the website. It's kind of a mess to get right without using too many REGEXs

It's also very hard to make it work when people use silly syntax, all the same challenges that the people working on the Google crawler will face
