Because the idea amused me, I decided to make a jQuery bookmarklet to add the word "fucking" to online texts. Bookmarklets (Buttons) are links you add to your browser's Bookmarks Toolbar.

Drag this link to your bookmarks and click to add a bit of colour to any page: Fuckinator

If you're using Internet Explorer or don't have a Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click on the button and click "Add to Favorites"

I found a post on archiving twitter data with python that would download all old tweets into a file in either json or xml format. Alas it didn't work right away.

Here it is adapted for Python 3 and the new twitter API

import urllib.request
username = "username"
password = "password"
format = "xml" # json or xml
filename = "tweet_archive.xml" # filename of the archive
tweets = 700 # number of tweets
#pages = (int(float(tweets)/float(80)))+1
pages = 35
auth = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
auth.add_password(None, "http://api.twitter.com/", username, password)
authHandler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(auth)
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(authHandler)
urllib.request.install_opener(opener) 
i = 1
response = ""
print
print ("Downloading tweets. Note that this may take some time")
while i <= pages:
    request = urllib.request.Request("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline." \
    + format + "?page=" + str(i))
    
    response = response + urllib.request.urlopen(request).read().decode('utf8')
    i = i + 1
handle = open(filename,"w")
handle.write(response)
handle.close()
print ("Archived " + str(tweets) + " of " + username + \
"\'s tweets to " + filename)

mldonkey_mipsel-2.7.1.tar.bz2 (nocoral)

This is a mldonkey core 2.7.1 package for the mipsel Linkstation-II with installed Openlink 0.52b as OS.

Check out Sancho GUI (Linux, Windows, OSX, BSD etc) or just use a browser to operate it.

1. make a dir /mnt/hda/temp
2. copy mldonkey.tar.gz to /mnt/hda/temp
3. go in that dir and unzip and untar mldonkey.tar.gz with tar -xzf mldonkey.tar.gz
4. Now do ./install.sh
5. Reboot

Now your donkey is installed in /usr/local/mldonkey
Your mldonkey temp dir is on /mnt/hda/mldonkey_temp
Your completed files are on /mnt/hda/mldonkey_download
You can check if your donkey is working with
/etc/init.d/mldonkey.sh status
If donkey is working this should came back
Checking mldonkey: OK
If not, than check /tmp/mldonkey.log for starting errors!

If you already have a working mldonkey, all you need to do is stop it, backup the old core and replace this one in usr/local/mldonkey and restart. Mldonkey will update your config files for you.

Package originally by turkish. Please see the thread http://forum.linkstationwiki.net/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=261&page=0 Good luck!

UPDATE: changed linkstationwiki link. See also Mindbender's Linkstation Page

Sometimes you might have problems downloading or viewing content from apfrod.com because of our use of the Coral Cache to help us stay within our host's bandwidth usage quota. It operates on port 8080, which might be blocked by a firewall on your computer, on your network or operated by your service provider.

If you can unblock communication with nyud.net:8080 on your computer and that fixes things, then great. Or perhaps you administer a network, in which case you ought to allow it through. But if you can't find any way round and you're absolutely determined to download something, you should try removing the Coral Cache part of the URL from the file link and it will probably work.

Released to coincide with the opening night at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield comes version 1.2 of the Shape Sequencer, now with Polygonal loops!

Download ShapeSequencer-1.2.tar.bz2 (277kb)
Download SSv1.2_QuickStartGuide.pdf (22kb)

To run it you will need Pd >0.37, gem >0.90, J.Sarlo's joystick external and 1-4 dual-analogue PS2-style game-pad(s). The Shape Sequencer is free software.

Since I'm using the media library a lot now, I thought I'd better get round to completing the blank audio Winamp skin. I also added some other bits and cleaned up a few things - click on the image above to see it full size. It's a classic 2.xx/5.xx format skin.

Download it now! (16kb)

A new video of the Shape Sequencer is now available from the blank audio archive. Titled Pentagon Scratch, it demonstrates the live sampling capabilities of the current Shape Sequencer instrument.

The black and white thing you see is of course the blank audio winamp skin, permenantly in service here at the Apfrod fortress.

ShapeSeq.zip

Built on pure data 0.38 gem 0.90
Requires extras joystick and range, both in pd-externals.

You also need 1-4 dual analogue gamepad(s) to use this patch. You may find your slightly different joystick drivers/configuration will break the patch that interprets the joystick.
