It's the first sunny weekend we've had in ages. In fact it's the first weekend we've had for a while in which ones mind hasn't immediately turned to Revelations 12:15 or wondered if perhaps the marketing push for Evan Almighty might not have gone a leeeetle too far.

And yet I'm inside, hacking. Partly because last night ate at a restaurant that serves burritos the size of your head so I'm feeling kind of sluggish this morning but mostly because I'm stupid.

Anyway, I wrote a tool to back up your Vox last week but, it occurred to me that not everyone has the will or way to download a bunch of Perl modules, install them and then run the script.

So I've been nice and written VoxSlurp which is neither Web2.0 -ey or Ajaxy but should make it easy for you to download all your public posts as an Mbox file (which most mail readers will understand - under Outlook do 'File -> Import -> Internet Mail and Addresses -> Eudora and then navigate to the mbox file you've just downloaded).

Ain't I nice.

Do you ever have an urge to backup you Vox blog to a local machine? Specifically as mail? Then lust no more.

Can download as mbox, maildir and Mh if you really want. Stores tags, ids, the original url, the html version and a text version.

I also ought to make it able to snarf your embedded media and do the cid dance or something.
