Email Bot

I would like to set up a bot to retrieve email addresses from journal articles of interest. The process would be:

  1. Query for all articles in the last 7 days that mention my subject of interest (soe) e.g. genome wide association studies.
  2. Pull out all authors and their email addresses, if provided.
  3. For missing author address, query for N additional articles by the author, and find those where the author is first or last author, a position most likely to provide and email address. Update the database with the address.
  4. Send a custom email to each author advertising my product.

For this project I will be using Guile and its http-client method to screen scrape data. Set up an environment with:

1
mbc@xps:~/projects/conman$ guix environment --network --expose=/etc/ssl/certs/  --manifest=manifest.scm

The manifest looks like:

manifest.scm

(specifications->manifest
'("guile" "guile-lib" "coreutils" "gawk" "sed" "findutils" "glibc" "grep" "openssl" "gnutls" "curl" "emacs" "libcanberra" "guile-dbi"))

In one method I obtained an error I had great difficulty debugging. Error is presented in bytecode. Eventually I decided to convert the bytecode to text. Error message:

Civil War Two

Currently reading Civil War Two by Thomas Chittum, written in 1997. Prescient.

Once the majority falls below 90%, potential for problems (p117):

Southwest will be the first to go. Look for falling real estate prices, the first sign of white flight. Are Cubans aligned with Mexican Latinos? Maybe initially re:strength in numbers. I can imagine South Florida descending to status of shithole country with the combination of diversity, rising sea levels, and sinking property i.e. not just sinking property values but actual sinking of the land.

Descent is a multi-stage process (p74)

1 Foundational phase
2 Terrorist phase
3 Guerilla warfare
4 All out continuous warfare

We are probably in stage 3 of the decent to civil war (p78):

The civil war checklist begins on p150. Below are some items that have come to pass:

NAFTA, UN, CDC, W.H.O
