Greetings, Just installed plucker and plucker-desktop; was surprised how full of holes the latter seems to be. But now I've figured out how plucker itself works and am rolling my own. I'm very impressed, in general!
Tried to load the default home.html; while some pages are now dead (eg nytimes link), I couldn't get the parser to process the plucker home page or my home page for that matter ... am I doing something wrong> Many pages seem to work fine (tho cbc.ca/mobile does not oddly, since they built it for PDA syncing.) I enclose a log resulting from trying to parse my home page. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks in advance for any tips. === Initializing Plucker spidering engine... ----------------------------------------------------------- Updating channel: my home page... ----------------------------------------------------------- Pluckerdir is '/home/migod/.plucker'...
