8 I really like the webcomic http://xkcd.com[xkcd]. Its author, Randall, is
9 hilarious. If you don't read this comic, you definitely should.
10
11 Recently Randall http://xkcd.com/1110[drew one] that blew my mind (seriously,
12 there are brains everywhere). He basically made what looks to be a 100x100
13 (there are some empty tiles in there so that's not super accurate) grid of a
14 sad, yet wonderful world. This world, populated by javascript, will take you a
15 tremendous amount of time to scroll through. I can only imagine how much time
16 this took him to make.
17
18 Well, not to put all of that work to waste, but I decided I wanted to assemble
19 the entire grid into a single image. The first step to that is to download the
20 entire grid of images. With that, I wrote a script.
21
22 Currently, that script is downloading all of that commic with a .2 second sleep
23 time between images (no DOSing for me). I will post back here with a zip file
24 containing every image and as soon as I have the time, I will write a script to
25 automagically assemble the entire thing! I will also post that here.
26
27 However, first things first (as I said). The first script to download the
28 entire commic looks like so (yes, I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do
29 this)
