Yeah, looks like the Armoury format has changed since I last cared about this code. I ended up throwing this script away and going for a fully-fledged Rails app, so you can browse and filter achievements - http://achievements.movieos... - so I'm not terribly interested in this script any more. But it shouldn't be too hard to fix this script, the XML changes look minor.

This is just what I have been looking for for my guild. I am by no means a coder but am fairly competent tweaking stuff.

I have put the 3 files in a folder and edited for my realm etc but keep getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "guildachievements.py", line 63, in <module>
for ach in char_xml['achievements']['summary']['achievement':]:
File "/pybe/guildachv/xmltramp.py", line 143, in __getitem__
raise KeyError("Can't find attribute '%s'"%n)
KeyError: "Can't find attribute 'achievements'"

Not sure if its just because armory has changed or something i have missed.

Thanks

Re: yay more email clients - jerakeen.org

Tom Insam — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:59:37 -0000

Gosh, no. My proposed solution is to write an SMTP server and mail store with a web interface to the mail, and a nice modern API on top. SMTP and RFC822 are worth keeping but I think IMAP is probably holding us back at this point.

Re: yay more email clients - jerakeen.org

Jesper — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:51:01 -0000

So in other words, your proposed solution is "don't work with any server"?

You have to start somewhere. IMAP is the least sucky open, documented protocol, and also happens to be the most widely used. It's becoming increasingly clear that we can't do all the things that we'd like to, but you have to start somewhere. And even if we're held back by reality in general and IMAP in particular from doing an application that works the way you'd expect, we can do an IMAP client that behaves as a better email application than most others out there -- at least according to, you know, us.

The diet literature explains calories burned while jogging, playing tennis or golfing, but similar information concerning sexual activity has, until now, been unavailable.

Yet, a survey of 206,000,000 people indicated that 96% devote more time and effort to sex than jogging, tennis, or golf, and we felt that the time was right for a new type of sex manual.

EXAMPLES:

1 hr. intensive foreplay Burns Off:
1 slice (large) chocolate cake.

25 min. nonstop lovemaking Burns Off:
2 slices of pizza with cheese & mushrooms.

53 min. of kissing partner Burns Off:
1 cheeseburger with 14 french fries.

53 minutes kissing yourself Burns Off: Christmas turkey with all the trimmings.

KEEPING A JOURNAL

Maintaining your own record of sexual activity will be helpful for keeping track of weight loss. You needn't go into detail, just list the activity and the number of calories burned.

A typical entry in a woman's journal (for example) for a pleasant low-key sexual experience might read as follows:

Re: iPhone application updates

drfrogsplat — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00:49 -0000

I've got a similar issue, but not exactly the same — I never get multiple updates for the same application in there. I do have the same application apparently needing updating every single time (they seem to go away after a few days/weeks though), sometimes in iTunes, sometimes on the phone, sometimes both...

I've seen elsewhere it mentioned that iTunes may have a bug (or some previous version may have had it) where it'd store multiple versions of some of your apps. For example, Wikipedia.ipa, Wikipedia 1.ipa, Wikipedia 2.ipa. Strangely, it seems like iTunes at some point had instead of replacing the application, just made a new name for the latest version by adding a number to the end of the filename.

So it might be worth checking your Mobile Applications directory (just right click an app and click Show in Finder to get there most easily) to see if this has happened — it *might* have something to do with your issue... (alas, had nothing to do with mine)

Not 100% sure what the fix for that will be (in my case I tried deleting all apps from iTunes and all files from the Mobile Applications directory, then getting them transferred back from the iPhone — that might solve your issue by refreshing the iTunes app DB but unfortunately didn't fix my problem)...

Re: On Palm, Competition, and iTunes Sync - jerakeen.org

ssp — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:30:25 -0000

I agree with your assessment.

Another way to talk about this would be to mention the last time Palm tried to do Mac software they ruined Claris Organizer by adding their crappy syncing stuff. So one could say they learned their lesson and are just trying to give the best experience (OK music library which people are likely to be using already, no extra software needed to sync music) to everybody with the smallest effort for themselves. Sounds like a good idea to me.

The additional thing one is probably not allowed to mention in the presence of Mac whores is that Apple are complete asses who are keen to keep iTunes as incompatible as possible. That's certainly not for the benefit of the user.

I love it when programmers get together and do crazy stuff. The web page was a nice touch to the entire project. I remember my first server experience when I tried to configure a dedicated server and managed to do so in three days using the internet. That was the day I said I'll never go back to this.

Re: EmusicR

jeffbax — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:28:32 -0000

Love your downloader, although I noticed it doesn't tend to like files with slashes in them and in fact will create a folder :) (and also fail to delete the file if that preference is set afterward)

Quirk aside, it sure saves a ton of grief from emusic's shitty downloader and Snow Leopard!

Re: Running your own blog - jerakeen.org

Tom Insam — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:11:20 -0000

I'm slightly interested in commenting systems. But the important point about the comments is that I don't really consider them to be 'my content'. They're the butter and jam spread on the bread - makes it better, lots of people like it, but still just a demo.

Also, I wouldn't mind too much if they all vanished, due to Disqus exploding or something. Which is unlikely, but I'm planning for the possibility of flickr/delicious exploding, so I might as well consider the possibility.

Re: EmusicR

Jeremy Pinnix — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:20:56 -0000

Thank you so much for this. I didn't want to install Rosetta just for the emusic download manager (which is buggy anyways). Oh, and isn't Ruby great?

BTW, you might want to make a more visible button for download.

Re: Running your own blog - jerakeen.org

Mark Fowler — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:16:41 -0000

Of course, you're not hosting (nor mirroring, it would seem) your comments. So you are reliant on third parties for those. I assume (due to previous remarks) this is because you're not interested in making commenting systems. Or to beat the metaphor when it's down, you're only interested in making ovens and baking trays, not microwaves and sandwich toasters.

Re: Running your own blog - jerakeen.org

Tom Insam — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:48:00 -0000

I don't think I'm reliant on them. I use external services, sure, but one of the reasons for syndicating them the way I do (rather than say, Paul's shallow aggregation) is so that I have for the most part local copies of all the data I put into external services. If delicious explodes next week, for instance, I won't care too much. I have a local copy of all my bookmarks right here.

Re: Running your own blog - jerakeen.org

ssp — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:12:56 -0000

Interesting point. I do like the way your site seems to aggregate things. From what I have seen API-wise on the second web, my guess was that it requires a fair bit of effort and quite likely frustration to make it work, possibly together with a bit of discipline when posting things. I suppose there's a reason why you don't see such solutions more frequently.

While I ultimately think this is going the wrong way as you still seem quite dependent on many dubious internet services and a 'good world' should let you hook those sites up to yours rather than the other way round, it's perhaps the best we can do at the moment (or ever, as my inner pessimist suggests).
