Personally, I like the free Shortyz android app that downloads 5-7
crosswords daily. Nothing printable, but it's on my tablet & phone for
times of boredom.

Greetings Steven Papas,
Thank you for continuing to print the notice of the Barre Open Systems
Institute "Adult Swim" in your calendar section. This is a great help
to our organization.
Yesterday afternoon, I stopped by the office to pay my subscription to
the Times Argus. I talked with the excellent fellow at the front
desk, about the curtailment of the print edition starting next month.
As my wife is a great fan of the daily crossword puzzle, we discussed
the idea of having the crossword puzzle print on a local printer here
at our house. Under the Ubuntu Linux operating system, this would
become a daily "cron" job.
That said, I have no doubt that there are likely to be Digital Rights
Management (DRM) and other barriers to carrying out this simple
expedient. So in beginning to implement this plan to print the
crossword puzzle, this morning I went to the Times Argus Crossword
drop-down on the "Features" drop-down off of the Times Argus Home page
(http://www.timesargus.com/), selected "Crossword" and received the
following "404" error:
http://www2.uclick.com/client/tav/fcx/
Notes; This system error message indicated that the host system I was
connecting to was running nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu). Further, the Sudoko
link from the "Features" drop-down worked fine, so I do not believe it
could have been an error on my side.
So, as a subscriber, and in the interests of keeping domestic
tranquility, I would humbly ask that we come together and discuss how
I can download and print the daily crossword from the newspaper to
which my family subscribes. I am of the opinion that accomplishing
this and distributing the method may be a great benefit for the Times
Argus enterprise.
I look forward to your response.
Kindest Regards,
Paul Flint Director
