On the off chance that everyone else has dried up or that someone wants a gift from **moi** specifically, my e-mail’s in my profile and I’ve oodles of invites to give away. Cheers! ---

I wrote a program that speeds up giving away your invites. Takes about 3 minutes now. Copy to your clipboard a non-existant hotmail address, such as [blahafdlkjasldkfjasdflkj@hotmail.com](mailto:blahafdlkjasldkfjasdflkj@hotmail.com). Then go into your gmail account, put your cursor in the invite text field, press ctrl + v, press enter. wash, rinse, repeat 50 times. Open up the entire conversation of bounced emails you get from hotmail, press ctrl + a, ctrl + c to put it all on the clipboard. Save this entire blub of text to your desktop in a file called gmail.txt. Download my program, run it, and it will create a file called invites.txt on your desktop.

you can decompile the program with the software at [AutoItScript.com](http://AutoItScript.com). it doesn’t do anything else…🙂 here’s the source code ```auto #include $a = @DesktopDir & "\gmail.txt" $b = 1 _FileReadToArray($a, $b) For $x = 1 to $b[0] $var = String($b[$x]) If StringInStr($var,"http",1)Then FileWrite(@DesktopDir & "\invites.txt",@CRLF & $var) Next ``` ---

You don’t need to press enter every time, you can use a comma to seperate addresses. ---
