K5 Utility Script #1 (Diaries)

By llimllib
Tue May 27th, 2003 at 07:59:18 PM EST

Inside is a script to count the number of diaries, comments, comment ratings, and/or stories by any user of this site. It's only been tested on Linux with Python 2.2 and on mine and rusty's accounts, so there could still be errors. Feel free to comment/criticize, it's appreciated.

Just for the record, rusty has posted 3188 comments, in my program's estimation.

It is available here. I would have put the source of the program here, as it's only 150 lines or so, but I wasn't sure if this is cool. So, if anyone who runs this place would like me to, just say the word and I'll pull it. I just think it's easier than paging through people's (and my own) comment pages to see how many I've posted. Don't recognize a story author's name? just type "python k5_count.py -u AnonymousUser -cds" into a terminal window to see how many comments, diaries and stories they've posted.

No sense in having a screen-scraper to do things that would be quicker done in the code. Check out your user info page.

But nothing seems to have happened.

Perhaps I need a new mathematics software library (the file is of type dot-pie apparently).

You probably have a lot more diaries, and you respond to almost every comment in said diaries. This makes you geekier than rusty. Sorry.

Peace.

does it take into account all the diaries and comments that are in the archive? That's a totally different search you know.

You've still got more comments than me with the accurate count (though not by much), and absurdly more diaries. I kick your ass for stories though. Amateur. :-)

you expect me to produce actual content?

I mean.. meaningful content that is.

Did you count the other accounts? I mean, if anyone knows them, surely you do.

That would be, like, 40,000 or so other accounts. Since everyone is the Q. Or is everyone the goat? I can never keep it straight.

we're one and the same, as our Wondertwin Shirts will attest to.

As for never keeping it straight, I'd suggest viagra.
