Hey guys, how long time.

Today I've coded the applet "Quote of the day". Just a simple applet that gives you 4 interesting quotes per day. Each new click on it brings another quotation. Check the preview bellow. I will push it to the Extras as soon as possible. Since I'm moving to Italy, and I need to pack yet. Suggestions are welcome.

Hello Eduardo!

Yeah, a long time

About the suggestions: if you download this sentences from a website (don't forget to mention it ) it can be nice to "support" other websites like commandlinesfoo, xkcd, bash, danstonchat.fr, viedemerde.fr, pebkac.fr or "Daily Funny Quotes" "Today in History", etc. (if it's not too hard)

It's just a suggestion, not an urgent request

Thank you for your help!

Great!!

It's merged.

Another suggestion: The possibility to see the quote from the website and/or the possiblility to copy the content

@matttbe: I will add the "copy to clipboard" soon, but did not yet because the newer version of CD is not in the machine I use constantly. Thanks.

And it's not possible to compile it?
There is a script => http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=From%20BZR&lang=en#3-Debian / Ubuntu
It should work

Hi, do you have idea when the plugin will be able to be downloaded through the "Extras" page ?

Sorry Eduardo, I was and I'm still too busy
I'll do that asap but I just want to note a little bug: I use it with danstonchat.com but when this applet has read all the page (25 items), it re-display the same quote. Is it possible to load other quotes?

Thank you

I'll have some spare time during the holidays, so I could upload them (I have also several new applets to upload ), but I'm not sure how to update the html page (also it's a new branch (2.2.1) so I don't know how to do at all )

@matttbe: Yes, I know that, and in the initial idea was that to be a feature and not a bug since the applet was intended to give you some quotes per day. Well, what I can do is to bind a shortcut such as Scroll up to fetch more quotes from the current site. The automatic way can be done also -- as I did with the WebSearch --, would be some ad-hoc stuff, since each site gives me a different number of quotes per page, but I can not promise it for the next version.
