I wasn't sure if he was joking or not, so interviewed him back in 2008. Here's the complete text of the interview. (I should've used the VERBOSE command.) Q: I'm fascinated with a message I read about how you read the web with a wget demon. Could you elaborate on it? A: It is a program that runs wget and mails me back the result. Q: Do you then convert the HTML to plain text and read it by email, or do you load the retrieved file in a browser? (If so, which browser?) A: I can do either one. Q: Finally, is it free software, or something that you'd be willing to release? A: I did not write it, but our sysadmins say it is kludgy.
