Kieskeurig PDA app
I like to go window shopping, mostly for geeky stuff. Often, I see something and wonder.. is that really a bargain? I should look that up!
And then I grab my Nokia e61, and key in URL for a pricegrabber site. Usually, I just use kieskeurig.nl. And although my smartphone has a nice screen, it's still inconvenient to browse heavy sites.
So I hacked together a quick java web-app which performs a simple query on kieskeurig.nl, and spits out all the products it found, and their price ranges. Really simple, but it WFM. Java is a bit overkill, I could have written that in a few lines in $scriptingLanguage really. But I never get around to learning one (I've used perl, but the camel stinks). Let's put "python" on the TODO-list for that.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.stack.nl/~brama/kk
Any slowness is kieskeurig.nl, and not my beautiful code ;)
