http://shrimpworks.za.net Why am I so n00b? Tue, 25 Nov 2008 05:10:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Hah. Only 3 months late. Out of Eve has been fully updated to Quantum Rise spec, the promised journal feeds, API key security, and a number of other tweaks. OutofEve.com has been updated to the latest available version, and the source is available for download. Please leave any feedback in the comments ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2008/11/25/out-of-eve-11-released/ Well, shit happens, and unfortunately OOE 1.1 hasn't as I'd planned. I HOPE to be able to have this going by next week.... I've wanted something to make browsing through largish JSON objects a bit easier for work for a long while now, and suddenly got the idea that 01:00 on ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2008/09/07/heh-2/ As mentioned previously, I just wanted to outline a few plans for a new Out Of Eve version, mostly for my own reference, as I'm finding it much easier to work toward goals which are actually written down/typed up (lol?). Obviously first order of business is Empyrean Age compatibility. A number ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2008/08/20/out-of-eve-11/ Soo, a year since I last posted anything, so I guess it's about time I did something a little more constructive with this space than leaving it sitting here gathering comment spam. Everything's happily upgraded to the latest Wordpress version, complete with reCAPTCHA spam protection. I'll begin updating things more frequently now, ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2008/08/15/revival/ Sup. Since there are certain people about how hosting a website on unreliable home ADSL is a generally bad idea, I've decided to move it to a more stable, permanent home on my little Linode. Also, since my last post, a number of things have happened in my life in general. Firstly, ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2007/08/26/site-moved-i-moved-bought-car-etc/ Sooo, I received a query about wether it would be possible to have a DynaBar plugin show information from a ShoutCast server. A bit of investigation on the issue revealed it is indeed quite easy to query a ShoutCast server. As a result, a new DynaBar popped into existence: Just dump it ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2007/04/14/shoutcast-dynabar-plugin/ A long time ago, in a galaxy not far away, I created a very small application named SaveScreen. Today I'm rather pleased to release a much-improved SaveScreen 2. A couple of anti-virus applications complained that the .dll file distributed with SaveScreen which enabled detecting when "Print Screen" was pressed, was a ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2007/04/08/save-screen-2/ Just for random phun, if you have an AniDB profile, you can now show your stats off in a DynaBar dynamic userbar. Something like these (output is completely customisable): http://shrimpworks.za.net/2006/11/13/anidb-dynabar-plugin/ Heh, I guess there are already plenty of tools out there which do this sort of thing already (never seen them personally, but then I've never looked either, heh), but this only took me half an evening to throw together anyway. Basically, it's a Python (uses youtube-dl) and PHP-powered web-based YouTube ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2006/10/27/mytube-web-based-youtube-downloader/ Since the XBox Live "GamerCards" are so nicely exposed, there's really no reason not to have a DynaBar plugin for it, now is there. I've noticed a few GamerCards claiming to be in "userbar" format, however they do not follow userbar standards in layout, dimensions, or fonts. So, soon you too ... http://shrimpworks.za.net/2006/10/25/gamerscore-dynabar-plugin/
