has_anyone_tried_to_download_all_blathers
6am im just wondering if anyone has tried downloading all the pages and blathes in blather.newdream.net. it cant be that big and i think it would be easier browsing if i can use search programs to search for blathes with certain words or phrases. i'd try to download it now but i dont have my high speed connection at the moment 030506

sabbie it cant be how big?

according to the front page faeries, there are 31797 word pages

now add to that the amount of things people blathe under each word.

youre going to make your computer cry you know...

6am its only text 32000 cant be that big, ive downloaded entire lyrics site and guitartab sites before. i have a fast connection when im on campus and i have tons of free space so i think it shouldnt be a problem and i doubt blather is made in a way so that programs cant download the pages. 030506

joda Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

You must be searching for something specific.

What are you searching for? Maybe we can help you find it.

6am im not searching for anything specific at the moment, i just find myself sometimes getting bored just following word links. sometimes i just get words and phrases in my head and i wonder if ppl have wrote about it already. 030507

niska well, 6am, just type your word in the window that says 'word' and if it's been blathed, your post will go there. if not, you'll have started a new blathe!

neato, huh?

anne-girl i think i'll download all the showday pages (a list of what's been blathed every day since blather began) - could probably do some interesting statistical stuff with it

like graph blather's growth, etc
