google-kongulo is what I want

http://goog-kongulo.sourceforge.net/

This plugin for Google Desktop Search is a simple web spider (Könguló is Icelandic for spider) that crawls websites you specify, e.g. intranet websites, and dumps them into Google Desktop Search so that you will see results from them when you perform a desktop search, and can browse their contents offline via GDS's cache.

I may go on and tweak it a bit so that I can manage my bookmark effectively. But who knows, I'm busy, I avoid programming as much as I can, and I don't have much knowledge of web programming.

Recursive Descendent Parser by hand vs. Parser Generator

Excerpted from Stanford's Year 2000 Quals on compiler.
Just for fun.

pros of descendent parser:
When grammar is simple.
Great flexibility. Look ahead more than one symbol or use other information.
Flexible and understandable error recovery.

pros of parser generator:
Easier, automatic parser construction.
LALR(1) more powerful than LL(1).
The CFG is more readable.
Parser likely to be faster.
