Nice. And on a mac without seq:
for i in `jot 17 1`; do curl http://edge.org/q2011/q11_$i.html >> edge.html; done
for i in `jot 17 1`; do curl http://edge.org/q2011/q11_$i.html >> edge.html; done
for i in {1..17}; do curl http://edge.org/q2011/q11_$i.html >> edge.html; done
Sometimes I geek out on getting something like this all onto a single readable page which I save in my homedir, then make my default home/open page in my browser, for good offline reading.
So in this case I used wget to save as individual files, then did this to trim out the header and footer:
for i in `seq 1 17`; do grep -A999 'width="534"' q11_$i.html | grep -B9999 '<hr width="700" align="center" noshade size="1">' >> edge.html ; done
Now edge.html will be my homepage for a while. (I work offline most of the time.) Great stuff. Inspiring as hell.
After I finish figuring out some Twitter and Facebook API stuff I'm going to head offline too, and try this out as my homepage. Several months ago I went without a computer for 3 weeks, and the clarity/deepness of thought I experienced really surprised me. I'm curious to find out how much was due to avoiding computers, and how much to avoiding the internet.
