Google on command line

In my quest for writing webservices in C, I wrote a small command line utility for collecting information from Google.

Released the first (0.1) version of Gcmd this weekend. Project home page is located at http://gcmd.sf.net. Being POSIX compliant as of now, it should work under variety of UNIX like Operating systems and Cygwin.

Following features are currently included:

  • Google command line search for a keyword.
  • Compare search results for two keywords in Google.
  • For a given URL collect the following statistics:
         i. Websites having link to this URL.
         ii. Websites similar to the given URL.
         iii.Website containing this URL in their page.
  • Spelling suggestion for a word or phrase.
  • and I am planning to add few more features.

    So download this utility from here and let me know what you think about it.

    Hunt for a blogging software

    My old site with Mambo on it is no more ...
    Though, Mambo is a good CMS but without much support for blogging. After many days(read nights) of customizing Mambo with plugins like Mamblog I finally decided to switch my CMS.

    After some googling, peeking at other's blog, comparing CMS(One good site with comparison of blogging softwares is http://www.asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm ), I finally decided to switch to Drupal with lot of features including customizable themes, collaborative editing, file sharing and support for various blogging api.
