Automate Your Business

I’m progressing well with the “SENuke alternative” software, with the result that there are a couple of features you might like:

- The browser remains invisible, and becomes visible if there’s something it can’t process normally. So you can carry on working with “real” work whilst it does it’s thing in the background.

- Get this: even the CAPTCHAs can be processed whilst the browser is invisible. Neat, eh?

- It’s got built in debugging that should (if your proxy and router allow it), let me debug “live” whilst you run the software on your PC, so I can more easily find out what’s happening if you encounter problems.

- It’ll have plugin functionality similar to WordPress. So if some clever programmer wants to write an interface to post bookmarks to (as an example) Delicious.com before I’ve had a chance to write one, they can take my template plugin, modify it, and make it available to download for users of my software.

- It’s actually two softwares in one: A web-based app to do all the stuff that it possibly can without you even having to have your PC on, be in the country, or even be awake. And a desktop app to do the CAPTCHA-specific stuff (and maybe a few other things in future, we’ll see how that goes). Both will have the plugin functionality.

- Virtually everything will be done via plugins (which will be free to users if I write them). So for example, the CAPTCHA breaking is done by one specific third-party service at the moment. If they close down, put their prices up to much, start performing badly, or otherwise cause me to look at other providers, I can fairly quickly write a plugin to work with another provider (if they support software integration, of course).

I must say, I’m enjoying this work!
