i do screen-scraping now in python and to see how others do it in perl
might be useful. i dont do a lot of web development, but if there are
other things you can do with AJAX besides moving boxes around on my
website, i'd be interested in that. i'm not real familiar with what ajax
does, just heard people use it in web development.

i should be learning about web services, i.e. having an application
phone home to the mothership probably via SOAP, do some processing, and
send the data back.

my list with most interested at the top is:
1) web services and SOAP
2) AJAX or Stupid Agents (i haven't see this talk)
3) screen-scrapping stuff
