POW site update bot? , by raiden on Jun 25, 2008 9:05:25 GMT 1, I'm sure this must exist, but is there a way to get a text message to your phone as soon as POW's site posts any new content? Everyone jokes about hitting F5, but I'm sure someone on here already has this wired ... perhaps even automated such that as soon as a Banksy is put online, it automatically places it in your basket - giving you 7 minutes to get to your computer and complete the transaction?
I know I could probably get a guy to program it, but why reinvent the wheel? Anyone already using a bot like this? After Nick Walker's last print dropped and I got skunked, I'm putting my Wiley Coyote thinking cap on...

Secondly, as much as this is a forum for discussing art, I doubt whether those who use this system will respond or assist - so it may be worthwhile sourcing the system yourself
money or the thought of money does bring out the most selfish aspects of human nature

If these were poor people i would smile and say no thanks, alas they are all on 100k+ a year, this sort of greed is VERY ugly

Hopefully all future releases will be don in the same way?

Even if you did use some kind of software raiden is talking about, i'm guessing the amount of traffic on that site daily is probably so great that its more a case of right place, right time, or an incredible amount of luck with the F5 trick, or whatever it is you PC users do.
