any of you doods ever need to do screen scraping in clojure? I am trying enlive .. its .. not to bad so far..

meow15:03:43

what are those?

meow15:03:13

sounds sexist

norman15:03:45

clojuregeek: Dar likes/liked enlive. We have some HTML rewriting that we do. We originally tried enlive, but it’s performance was pretty bad for very large HTML files. (no performance issues for normal sized HTML)

norman15:03:57

So we ended up using jsoup for our HTML rewriting

norman15:03:33

And we use hiccup for normal HTML generation

clojuregeek16:03:10

oh ok .. when i was googling for enlive I found the video from Austin Clojure where Dar talked about it... it was early in my clojure learning so i didn't understand anything yet simple_smile

@swizzard: Nola hangs out here. ^

@swizzard: I wrote a parser to grab recipe info from foodnetwork and allrecipes .. i used enlive .. I'll write it up in a blog post in a day or so.

swizzard20:03:11

thanks, but it’s not the scraping that’s the problem

swizzard20:03:30

i’ve written another one using skyscraper

swizzard20:03:40

it’s this one frickin ssl bug

clojuregeek20:03:53

ok, well probably I won't be much help there 😞

swizzard20:03:59

thanks anyway though!

clojuregeek21:03:46

Uh Sorry to use the word doods earlier, was not ment to offend anyone. I forget this is not all austin people who know me simple_smile back in chicago we say "you guys" and although i'm more careful now not to say it ... it slips out

jsteve121221:03:03

If someone was offended by the word “doods”, I think they need to reassess their priorities

meow22:03:19

@clojuregeek: I was just being obnoxious and giving you shit. I was not offended. It takes more than that to offend me. Seriously. You have no idea how fucking outragiously offensive I can be. I am a sadist after all.

meow22:03:23

😇 😎 👿

Let's go have something to eat instead: pizzaspin

clojuregeek22:03:15

Well others in the chat might not think you were kidding

meow22:03:19

If there's any doubt left at this point I'm more than happy to keep clarifying with emoji, glitter, and facebook stickers...

meow22:03:42

Or is this a humorless channel?
