Hi, The features of your scraper sound cool. Could you tell me which version of Ruby I should use? I installed Ruby Ruby1.9.3 on Windows XP and the it gives me errors. ffihcxh Also I have installed the "curb" gem.

Thanks in advance

oh hey. ruby --version ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]

Try gem install.

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted this. Let me install this on windows 7. I need to get this to work. Also, is there a way for me to make some kind of GUI for this?

Thank you!

What do you want from a gui?

Just to make things easier, instead of typing using the command prompt I'd like to have something eye candy. Also if i can feed a tumblr list as to the scraper via text file etc etc.

Yesterday I downloaded Visual Studio with C# because it is what I have the most experience with, and it has been over 4 years since I last coded something and I don't remember anything. My goal is to feed tumblr urls via a text file into the existing ruby script one by one. I still couldn't get ruby to work though.

Well I really don't know how to help you. I do the development on debian - I use MPI controllers to cluster the processing and have raided disk array for storage.

Unless you are willing to invest some time into understanding the linux shell or how horizontal scaling works, I don't think you'll have much success with this.

Here, what I can offer you is that I'll document https://github.com/kristopolous/tumblr-scraper/blob/master/tumblr-all-downloader.rb better and then you can read through it and hopefully be able to adopt my process to your needs. Sound good?
