Ive just started using this rather handy thingy. Its dead good.

Any chance, Mr Technical People, of the scheduler having an RSS feed? Then I could get the scheduled games on my desktop!

Woo Elephant Yeah

The 5cheduler requires you to log in to view it, which might be an issue, but it's a good idea.

Anyone know any decent info/sites for RSS feeds?

They're just text documents:

Arses, I've only just uninstalled that. An RSS feed might be a good idea though, and I'm sure there's a way to make it user-related. I'll see what I can do.

Woo Elephant Yeah

Why isn't the 5cheduler public to view anyway?

Thinking about it, I can;t think of a reason to not have it public.
It might of been because of going back a long time ago, we were running out of slots on the CS:S server, but I don;t think we need to worry about that now narf

It's mainly a security thing, to make sure nothing can be sumitted if you're not logged in. I'll have a go to making it a bit more public though.

Never used Konfabulator but I did run Samurize for a while, that was pretty good, I got carried away though and ended up with so many add ons and bits that reported useless info to me it took up the whole of my second monitor.

I had to go cold turkey and just turn it off!!, although the bit I designed to report my Azureus torrents info was cool*...

Maybe I need to get Konfabulator to fill my desptop anew!, ooh look I could have webcam images from Oregon, or an interactive labrador, or a clock counting down to the release of the movie 'Rent'... wtf!!?!?

*(maybe I could do a whole 5punk themed Samurize setup, hmm thinks...)

I cannot stand things like konfabulator. Apparantly though I'm the only one who hates konfabulator with a passion...

Lord knows if it works properly, but have an alpha release.

to be honest, i only got it so i wouldnt keep forgetting to read ctrl-alt-del and penny-arcade. I then got carried away, and now have a second monitor covered in clocks, rss feeds and winamp controlling thingies
