    I created a little tool to keep an eye on TBW related websites, so I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else wants to play with it. As my other toys become useful I'll plan to put them up on TBWMidwest as well.

    http://www.tbwmidwest.com/tools/pageDiff.php

    Basically, it will check to see if the html code has changed from my archive copy, and, if so, creates a diff that you can view from the link. I currently have to manually update the archive it diffs against, but I plan to fix that as soon as I have time.

    Currently Planned Updates:
    • Monitor additional pages (suggestions welcome).
    • Create twice daily archive and allow viewing of previous diffs.
    • 5 min caching of live results.
    • Integrate into existing TBWMidwest page with styling.

    That's a good tool, I actually used that for a bit before making mine. I just wanted a script that I could schedule to run on my server on a regular basis rather than on demand, and that would be able to make backups of the diff automatically when they exist. But since none of that has a front end yet, the Chrome plugin works the same :)
