So how are you doing the QuickTopic integration?

Is this with the collaboration of QuickTopic? Or being done by hand? Or a reverse engineer of their site?

I know my first instinct was to simply automate the creation of topics, but they seem like such good people that I didn't want to abuse the serivce.

So whats going on behind the curtain?

thanks

Do you install Squid on a client machine? Sorry for asking such stupid questions.

Squid: honking great industrial strength cacheing web proxy server. See http://www.squid-cache.org/ for details.

Ignore me: it was a weird proxy mix-up at my end.

(Guess who runs Junkbuster and Squid at the same time?)

There's a problem: try following the link to
QuickTopic from www.boingboing.net in Links
(a character-only browser for Linux and OS/2).

I think this may be related to the URL on the
boingboing page, not to Links itself, or to QuickTopic -- when I point Links at http://www.quicktopic.com/7/H/CgbPNKpx5QB2w
it works fine. And the lack of JavaScript is a big
improvement.
