Hi all,
I need your help urgently!
I am in a housing lottery situation now. And I was late, so I am on the waitlist.
So my task is the following:
- Keep monitoring a website 24 x 7 (including login, filling in some tables, and submiting some clicks and choices, and then extract the "Number_of_Available_Spots" field in that table, and then save it in a file named XXX);
- Write a Matlab program to keep monitoring the content in the file named XXX 24 x 7, and if it is avaible, it should automatically give me a call.
My questions are:
a. How to generate a call from PC to my cell phone?
I am thinking of two ways of solution:
- Send a short message to my cell phone, through the cell phone's provider's webpage (Cingular)
- Generate a call from within Skype to my cell phone.
But how?
b. How to link all the above tasks together on Windows XP?
I want them run in sequence.
c. Do you have good recommendations of webpage tracking automation software that can automatically monitor the change of a certain field on a webpage?
Thanks a lot!
