TECHNOLOGY: What I want is an “agent”

I know what I want now. It’s a software agent that is like a robot. My idiot clone.

I can describe to myself what I want to do:

===

VISIT website.

QUERY Find out who came to visit yesterday.

FOR EACH visitor:

IF NEW:

Create an Outlook record. Create flat file record. Send invite. Retrieve LinkedIn. Create JibberJobber entry. Flag for further review.

ENDIF NEW

IF OLD:

Compare their information to their last visit.

IF UNCHANGED

EXIT

ENDIF UNCHANGED

IF CHANGED

Update Outlook. Update flat file. Update JibberJobber. Flag for further review.

ENDIF CHANGED

ENDIF OLD

ENDFOR visitor

EXIT

===

Now I just want an idiot to do that. It’s a lot of hard work. It should be all able to be done in software. Argh! Where’s my FORTAN compiler?
