Makes sense. I think timeanddate.com's notice (doesn't actually say anything as speciific as they 'must be acknowledged') would be a lot less feeble, and more visible, if they thought they had a chance of enforcing it. I don't mind acknowledging a free source - that is what they should specifically ask for.
torsmo starts slowly for me with or without this perl code.
Does torsmo just start slower when you load it with *any* script? And this double buffering thing ..?
Thinking about ways to speed up citytimes.pl eg
1. Don't download every single call. Instead, store the times and increment from the system clock, do correction from the web every hour or so. Needs to get seconds as well to do this.
2. Don't download a full page every time. Instead, parse the page on the fly while it downloads, stop downloading as soon as required info is received.
3. Make web page grepping more efficient (not much benefit).
