GetDilbert - 1.8

Just downloaded and installed the widget. Results in the error message:

"Comic not found. Sorry."

Just a quick note to thank everyone who has tried GetDilbert and left their feedback during the nearly 3 years since its release!

Yes, there have been bumps in the road:

• Started out screen-scraping unitedmedia.com, went to an "unofficial" Dilbert RSS feed, then back to screen-scraping
• Tried auto-refreshing, went to a refresh button, then actually made the refresh button work
• Sunday comic got all squished up, "fixed" the problem, "fixed" it again, "fixed" it again, finally really actually fixed it

Some of you have provided excellent, very valid feedback such as "It takes up too much darn space!"

I'll just say in my "defence" that GetDilbert started out as a little widget for myself because I wanted an easy way to follow Dilbert and friends. It's just a hobby project, really.

iComic, iBert, etc.; they're all great widgets! Use 'em! Personally, I like the simplicity of GetDilbert and, frankly, it works for me, so I'm not likely to change it soon.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out there for the thousands of people who have downloaded and continue to use GetDilbert every day. Thank you!

Regards!

This widget was one of my first and favorite ones! Unfortunately, something changed in the unitedmedia.com site and this widget no longer works. Andrew, the dev, mentions on his website that it will be fixed within a week from July 25, 2006. Unfortunately, it's been longer than I'm willing to wait by now, so I'm switching to the iBert.app.

There is still no refresh at all; the button so called doesn' t do anything.
I still prefer iBert 2.12 by far.

Sunday comic reduced to weekday size, therefore unreadable.
