I asked a friend for good C++ primers, so she directed me to the website of one of the classes she took and TA'ed at UBC. In addition to the fact that i know nothing about c++, i.e. i need everything on the website unselectively, I have another problem. I don't have internet at home. The website has about a million pages and files. So I needed a quick way to grab the entire site onto my thumb drive, and bring it home with me, as opposed to clicking my fingers off saving the files one by one.
so i googled "download entire website" and found numerous applications that do that. however, my office computer is well guarded against users who want to install stuff. so i had to add "firefox" to the string of search queries. turned out that firefox does have an extension that does the job. so now the little application is mirroring the whole website while i type away here....yet another triumph of firefox over the centralized control of my office computer admins!
oh it's done.
i love google. i love firefox.
