Tips for updating the wiki for Card pack 2 cards

Major thanks go out to thebruce for starting the 39 Clues wiki at http://various.wikibruce.com/39 . He also uploaded most of the images for the cards in the card table.
I'll share how I save & upload the images so that others can help with the Series 2 card pack.

Since most of the code is written in flash, you can't just look at the source code.
You are looking for the jpg files called back_lg.jpg and front_lg.jpg.
I use firefox, and added the LiveHTTP add-on that allows me to see the files pulled realtime. I run it, and go to a card's page (like http://www.the39clues.com/mycards#page=3/cardID=421 ) and liveHTTP tells me that it loaded
http://cdn.static.the39clues.com/cards/c0f4dea9df0a476d185d4a6be99a91fe/back_lg.jpg

so I save off that URL and access it directly, and then save it to my hard drive with a name like 421back.jpg.
Then I can upload it to the wiki with the name in the format 39Card-421-back.jpg

Another method might be to check your cache. In firefox, I can enter
about:cache?device=disk
in my address bar, and see everything in my cache. However, since the URL doesn't tell you which back/front you have, you have to check the time stamps to see what the last back_lg or front_lg was cached.

Hope this helps. I'll add as many as I can when my self-address stamped envelope comes back.
