Daily Dilbert Updated

I've updated my Dilbert Image Service to handle the redesign of the Dilbert.com site that broke it today.  It's nice to have a portal with good content, but it's better to have a portal with a today's Dilbert comic!  Nothing brings users to your portal like Dilbert.  I hope you enjoy the updated service.

  • Thanks for the update! The new flash overkill Dilbert home page is terrible. :(

  • It seems that Dilbert.com has updated the website and your service only displaying image of 16 May 2008 today. Could you please post a solution for this. I was using your service in one of my application.

    FYI:- I tried their RSS fees and its only returning data till May 16 2008.

    Thanks,
    Dileep

  • I've been using your daily dilbert but noticed it hasn't changed in the last week. Do you plan to continue to update or do I need to link to another site.

  • I'm using the Dilbert RSS feed to get the URL of the latest image. It appears the feed may have had a problem. However, today the feed is returning the same image as the dilbert.com home page.

    I was also caching the images for an entire day, which could cause problems. I've shortened this to 1 hour. Hopefully this will solve the issues. Let me know if you have further problems.

  • I pushed another update to the service tonight. It is returning the correct image tonight...hopefully it will pull the right one in the morning.

    Sorry for impacting everyone's morale. ;-)

  • We still seem to be having problems with the feed. Instead of showing an old one now it just shows nothing again. Anyone have a resolution? You would be surprised how protective people get of their daily dilbert fix!

  • Seems to be working successfully today. Thanks for getting this fixed Brian. Appreciate your work =)
