frIDentifier does not fry any thing. just gets the IDs correct in your friends list of orKut.
Ya this is 4 thos orKuters who are like chameleons - changing pics and names on the fly. I was inspired to do this by my favourite orKut friend whom I greet with “I O Rama”.
I find they do keep changing the names and then scrap me. As I am not that intelligent, I cannot make out who the hell is here, scrapping me like he knows me very well. I’m thinking …..
Now I see that whatever is left for them to change, their IDs are a constant. This id is used by me in my orKut scrapbook 4 IE tool. So I decide to make a list of my friends, capturing their asli names and IDs. Just lookup the ID from the list and find who is your new scrapper.
But manual lookup is tedious. So I had to put up some scripts as before, with context menu in IE.
The reg file:
The last line should point to your docs storage and not mine. So edit it.

This is still under development. I am trying to figure out how to add new guys into the list with the fileSystemObject object thru javascript to build up on itself.
If you got better ideas, let me know, i’ll steal your ideas and do something with them.
I was searching for this kind of a blog for months now. Actually lost the hope of finding one, but here i am
Thanks for the great articles! Looking forward for a little read after dinner
