Daily Dilbert

This is a Google App Script (GAS) to retrieve today's Dilbert comic from their website and email it to me as an inline image.

Yes, I recognize that GAS has a way to parse HTML using some XML library. So why didn't I use it? Because it is very strict about syntax and frankly, the Dilbert website wasn't able to be parsed.

Usage

Just create a Google App Script file in your Google Drive, paste in the code from the dilber.gs file and setup your triggers. (I have mine set to 8:00am Pacific).

I am not sure when Dilbert comics are actually posted, but they seem to have a tendency to be posted the night before in my timezone, so something earlier than 8:00am Pacific would likely also work.
