Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

So MLBeeCon is truly wonderful; thanks, No!No!No!Yes!

But I follow more than one team. And of course some people care about seeing certain teams lose, e.g. during a pennant race. So here's a somewhat fancier script. Drop it someplace convenient (I put it in /home/user/bin) and make it executable (chmod +x script-name). Then invoke it as:

/home/user/bin/mlbeecon CWS CWC -STL

which says you want to cheer for the White Sox, the Cubs, and whoever is playing Saint Louis.

The icon smiles if more of your teams win than lose, frowns if losers outnumber winners, and is smug if everything is balanced.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#

# Fetch MLB scores and colorize them for use with Queen BeeCon.

#

USAGE='Usage: mlbeecon [team] [team] [-team] ...'

#

# Each team is an abbreviation used on the m.mlb.com site.  A team preceded

# by a minus sign is a "team you love to hate;" the icon becomes happy if

# that team loses.  The icon is happy if more teams win than lose, angry

# if losing dominates, and smug if the losers equal the winners.  (Ties

# aren't considered in this calculation.)



# Since ESPN thinks the world runs on Eastern time, use that for the

# date/time display at the top.  That makes it easier to read the

# schedule.  Change this field to $TZ if you prefer using your own

# timezone.

DISPLAYZONE=US/Eastern

#DISPLAYZONE=$TZ



# When we fetch the scores, we use a time zone a few hours to the

# west; this ensures that games that are in progress after midnight

# EST will still be shown; the next day's schedule won't come up until

# about 6 AM EST.

GRABZONE=US/Hawaii

EDIT 19-Aug-2010: one of the problems with screen scraping is that it breaks when the Web site changes its layout. ESPN just did that; this edit contains a rewritten version that works with the new ESPN site design.

YOU ARE COMMUNITY!!! MAN! :D:D

I've stuck your contribution to relevant section of the WIKI ... feel free to amend it at your convenience!!!

It works fine when I click it, but doesn't update every 5 minutes. I did double-check the settings, and it's set correctly. Grepping .queen_beecon shows delayIndex=3.

Any thoughts as to why the timers aren't firing? If it's relevant, it was working earlier and then stopped; the clean restart was an attempt to get it to work properly.

Uhm... have you upgraded any QBW release lately?

First, thanks for posting my script. I forgot to mention that I'd appreciate you doing that.

Based on timestamps in /var/lib/dpkg/info, it looks like I did an update about two days ago, at 08:55 Zulu on 2010-May-20. But the md5sums are from Mar 16, which I find odd. Surely you've done a release since then? How do I find out the version I'm running?

FABULOUS!!!! Just so much better than the Ovi Store offering!

Now I just need to get the Ebay one working ok - any ideas? ;-)

Ps do you have a donate button or something?

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.

For people with TIMER issues ... could you please provide QBW Release you are using and any other info you believe pertinent like for example:

It was working and now it doesn't
I did this and that and now is not working
I installed <xxx>, <yyy>, ... and now ...
...

Is it just a timer issue you have here? What kind of output do you get?

wget is not supposed to cause timer issues...anything else to report here?
