10/5 Headed to St. Louis (6)

37signals, books, php, stlouis, washu

Tomorrow I head to St. Louis to do a bit of Yahoo! recruiting at my alma mater. If you’re a web geek and go to Wash U, make sure you come see us.

Preparing for the trip, I’ve been trying to decide what to read on the flight. I could pick up some fiction, but let’s be honest, I’ll never do that voluntarily. So I decided to read 37Signals’ Getting Real. Being a clever miser, I made a little script to download all 91 essays so I don’t have to buy the PDF to read it offline. Enjoy:

Update

I like the 37Signals guys, so until we clarify things, I’ve taken down the PHP code. However, I believe this is fair use. The copyright notice non-37Signals-Matt pasted below is simply not applicable since I have not redistributed their content by providing the script.

A bit of automation has little to do with the fact that the content is freely available online. If it makes anyone sleep any better, I’ll recycle my original dump and go back to the website and click print 91 times. Do forgive me for saving myself some time.
