Known Issues / To Do

CAPTCHA: MySpace.com allows 53 or 55 posts before requiring a CATCHA response, then allows 3 before requiring it agian. Not sure what the timeout is on this (12 hours?).

Note that the evolving point of leaving comments is to make sure that we're linked to from as many pages as possible, and mentioned on as many pages as possible. We want to appear to "be everywhere". Since we can only post to about 50 pages a day, we maximize our exposure by checking each page we're going to post on to see if we're already there and skipping it if we are.

To Do:

  - Provide a CGI interface so band members can coordinate and type in the
    CAPTCHA code. Interface would act as a relay: for each person we'd
    auto-post to, display the filled in comment form and have them customize
    it and/or fill in the captcha code. Could run in semi-automatic mode
    where it'd only display the page for them if it got a code request.
