There’s this website I have to login to and check on a regular basis. It happens to be for Nexicore, a company that contracts out computer service and extended hardware warranty contracts. Nobody likes to login and check a site every day when updates to it should really be push.<\/p>\n
So I wrote a script that logs into the website using my username and password, checks to see if I have any new work orders and emails me if a new one is found. I run it automatically once per day. Simple and effective. Now I just have to check the site when I get an email.<\/p>\n
This service would be useful to all Nexicore contractors at a minimum and as a more general case, anyone who has to regularly login to a website just to see if something changed. Furthermore, there’s no other service like this at least when I searched on it a few days ago.<\/p>\n
If you want to get an email when something on your private website changes or if you are a Nexicore contractor, I can run this for you as a service. Just email me at davesterry at gmail . com. I would probably just charge $10 to $20 a year depending on the difficulty of parsing the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
