Your next step on the path to being a hacker is to share your work. Where can we see your "web scraper" in action?

I don't know where can I post it? Probably post it to my blog once I've commented it up. Heading out for dinner with the gf so check later! FYI, it looks like a thing of beauty to me but it probably looks like dogshit to the pros. lol.

Github! If you're coding, you need to learn source control yesterday, and it makes sharing your code easy to boot. :)

Or just paste.ly

You will learn a great deal by posting your work for others to see. At first it will feel uncomfortable. You will be concerned that others will mock your work (and they might). But, by the 3rd or 4th time you post your work you will start to feel comfortable with it. The important point is that others will benefit from your experience. Karma.

What a nice thought. Someday someone is going to benefit from the code I wrote. LOL!

I feel like 10,000 miles away from that right now.

Does this 'URL' help? I think you have to be a member of github to see this. Nice viral mechanism lol.

git clone git://gist.github.com/761348.git gist-761348

This one does :-)

Fairly idiomatic code too; particularly impressed with the use of XPath.

Are you scraping glogster or are you with glogster? ;-)

I had to stackoverflow a lot of it so I claim no credit but thanks anyway :) BTW, what do you mean by idiomatic code? UPDATE Ok quick google for idiomatic code. Gotcha. I wonder what non-idiomatic code for c# looks like?
