my friend wrote a script back in 98 to do a daily (or at a set interval) check of domain names and register them if available. it's not too hard =) the problem is verisign holds on to domains of 'value' even though it's supposedly an automated removal process ~ 40 days after expiry date.

Those scripts that you are looking for are out there - However, out of respect for the industry as a whole, I am not going to post the links to them.
