Thank you for the suggestion. I spent some time modernizing the original
program since it was one of my first tests for this finger service and
it wasn't employing many features of my other fingers.

It's been a nice weekend, and thanks again for the suggestion. I can't
thank my nephew enough for helping raise my skills to a higher level
with this monster project. 

I am thrilled you are enjoying it. Do try using my wikipedia finger if
you also need more information.

I just added a podcast feature after two days of coding. You can search for
podcasts, lists the episodes, and output the episode data. Each
feed comes with the url to stream/download the content with your media
player. Until yesterday, I had no other way to consume podcasts other
than with a podcast app my tablet.

I added search results, with a guide on how to call the exact
movie. I just tested it with 'the_girl_who' and got this result. Should
work better from now on.
