Perhaps, like me, you have the ambition to read every Calvin & Hobbes strip in Calvin & Hobbes history. There’s a lot of archive sites around, but what you really need is a good tempo at which you can read, because you can’t read every single one in rapid succession (and not die).
So I made a script, actually two. They’re PHP scripts that generate Atom feeds. The first one accepts a few arguments, for example: “dailyc&h.php?pgs=6&first=101&date=2008-07-23”. The other one has its preferences in the source. Just replace the .txt extension with .php and upload it to a server that can run PHP scripts, link your RSS reader to it and you’re done.
I have them uploaded in their .php version, too, so you can run them from my website if you don’t have your own hosting. I can’t guarantee that they’ll be up 24/7, though.
Anyway, that is all. Maybe 1 page per day is a bit too much, so I might make one with a better dosage. Suggestions for other C&H archive sites are welcome. Perhaps I’ll make a script that alarms me of Girls with Slingshots updates. That damn comic has no feed.
