HERE WE GO
I've been busy with school, AC, and now omgrealjob, but I took a few minutes and fixed up the FARank program so it *might* run automagically in the next few months. SO STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE OKAY?
Keep an eye on http://superwailingbonus.com/farank and in about 24-48 hours, the updated list should go live.
I'm running it through cron instead of manually, so hopefully it won't die in the mean time. If you didn't understand that sentence, don't worry.
FUNFACT:
I just found out that in order for cron not to choke and die, not only do I have to supply absolute paths to ANY files cron touches, but I ALSO have to supply absolute paths to Java binaries! LAME.

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/taren/Desktop/farank/
./RUNME
And run THAT through cron perhaps?
I dunno, I had to provide full path names for both java and my programs, which were in different locations. Blah, whatever, it works now so that's all I care about.
But yeah if you run into this again and you just wanna "hack" it and just use a script, try it with "cd foo" then the command
