Heh, I think I may have a extra top margin on the left, which at least is easy to take care of....

Does anyone have a recommendation of a good tool (uh, you know, free) that one could use to grab the contents of a small web site? We're at the point that it is probably simpler to get it via HTTP than find out who has the FTP keys to the kingdom. But the developer swears it doesn't work via HTTP and that makes no sense, since it's supposed to be a static site.

Recs on digital (still) Camera? Ideally less than $100 bucks. Our last one broke after two years with very light use, so want something that will last. Not going to be heavily used, but would like it hold up. Don't need a lot of features, but would like decent resolution and decent optical zoom. No photo talent, so don't need a lot of control. The more decisions the camera makes for me instead of giving me choices the better. Maybe some give in the price, but not much. Just want something to point, click and end up with a decent digital photo I can load onto my computer, play with and print. Ease of use, decent output, holds up, low price - in that order. Recs welcome?

Regular assets accessible via HTTP--HTML, javascripts, images, CSS, et al. Back in the day I used to use something that traversed the site tree and grabbed everything, but that was a while ago, and I'm sure even if I remembered it, it's dead now. When I google, I get lots of fancy tools that scrape for specific content, but that's not what I need. Just the web site.

the only thing I can think of is the firefox extension Scrapbook. It will grab a whole lot of stuff.
You can specify how many links deep you want it to grab, but you can't just set it off on a web site I don't think.

Gosh, your last camera broke how? I'd check reviews on cnet and maybe nytimes? That's a pretty basic item these days, but I don't know what kind of sturdiness you're looking for.

That is the digital camera we got for about 100 bucks. My old HP digital started taking red pictures , fixable, but we weren't sure how long it was going to take. My HP was 2-4 yrs old and this little one is Much better. So i am guessing that 100 dollars gets you a pretty good basic digital camera. ( we bought with out investigating, because we were going to fix my old one )

ita, try the command line tool wget. It has a recursive option that should do what you want.
