attention triathlon-computer-geeks:
using a unix (OSX works if you install wget from fink) machine, you can automate getting pictures of yourself from brightroom.com. im only talking about the low-res ones on their website, not the real-deal ones you pay for, of course.
first, find the site with your pics on it. go to the main page, search for your event, then your bib or name. when you get to a page with your pics on it, run the command:
wget -nd -P pics/ -p --accept .jpg --span-hosts "PUT_URL_HERE" (of course, substitute the URL in).
for example, i used wget -nd -P pics/ -p --accept .jpg --span-hosts "http://www.brightroom.com/view_user_event.asp?EVENTID=3426&BIB=942&PWD="
this doesn't work right. well, it kinda does, but it just gets the small pictures. there might be a way to fetch the bigger pictures.. maybe have it follow links and only keep the files ending in f.jpg or something. im sure its possible. but i don't really care. ;)
