Ask HN: What happened to Serendipity, the fare tracker?

3 points by viae 15y ago ↗ HN

A few days ago a neat looking perl script for tracking fares via Kayak made the front page. I can't seem to find the article and the Google code hosting has 404'd:

http://code.google.com/p/serendipity/

I discovered this when I reloaded the old open tab in my browser. I'm sorry to see it disappeared....

Edit: I mean, it's 403'd, not 404'd...

I had it running and it stopped working. Boo.

Good question. I was just about to tell a friend about it and this is the only post I can find.

Actually, I just remembered that I had left a comment on that thread, so here it is: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2049698

He took it down at Kayak's request, because of the load caused by continuous requests on their servers: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2052920

Oh well.
