Well, to each his own: I simply do a

Put this on cron and with an if (it fails) I get a notification, edit date and voila!

Hi skunks,
Sadly, it took me the the better part of 15 minutes to resolve why i was getting a "404 Error" whilst trying to download today's ePaper. A minor oversight of the date's suffix on the download link thus having the date parsed as "21th" instead of "21st". "Garbage In - Garbage Out" indeed.
I've decided a small bash script is in order. One that: -
a) Looks up the machine's current day/month/year and stores them in variables. b) Appends the correct suffix/ (i.e 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) to the respective day's date. c) Passes the variables in the URL, automatically downloading the ePaper via 'wget' command.
In case you are on Linux/OSX and prefer to skip the daily URL edit ritual, feel free to download it. i. Make it executable. ~$ chmod +x daily ii. Run it via terminal. ~$ ./daily
-- Kind Regards,
Lloyd Njunge. Cell: +254 723 739 733
