"I feared regret more than I feared failure"

"I view my life in a way … I'll explain it to you, OK? The greatest thing about tomorrow is, I will be better than I am today. And that's how I look at my life. I will be better as a golfer, I will be better as a person, I will be better as a father, I will be a better husband, I will be better as a friend. That's the beauty of tomorrow. There is no such thing as a setback. The lessons I learn today I will apply tomorrow, and I will be better."
Tiger Woods

"All big things in this world are done by people who are naive and have an idea that is obviously impossible."
- Jason Calacanis (founder of Weblogs, Inc. (Engadget, etc), which he sold to AOL for ~$30 million).

“I’ve never been concerned with competitors, execution is everything in life.”
- Lynda Resnick, half of the husband and wife team who have grown POM Wonderful (pomegranate juice) from $12mil/yr in 2003 to $91mil/yr today and after buying Fuji Water for $150mil increased sales 67% last year. Jason Fried's summary.

Programmer of crawl/screenscraping robots

I am looking for at programmer, who can build crawl/screen scraping robots, for a new job portal, just like http://www.jobindex.dk/, http://www.simplyhired.com/ are doing. Most robots are build on standard high-end software like eg. http://www.kapowtech.com/, http://www.fetch.com, http://www.ql2.com/, http://www.denodo.com/ etc., but I have found a cheap "low-end" standard software, which we might use - I just need a programmer to make it fly, and if you know of any other affordable crawl/screen scraping software, please let me know.

Shot me a mail if you know the programmer or the right software. Thanks!:-)
