Yeah I was going to report it, I managed to freeze BeeCon when it was trying to download an image with wget and my connection dropped. I don't know if it froze the whole desktop come to think of it, but BeeCon never recovered...

Use wget watchdog switches:
Setting -t 1 -T 5 options prevents wget from hanging and getting stuck for more then -T 5 seconds even if connection or proxy problems arise!!! However set -T <secs> according to the foreseen size of the web content to be fetched

If you installed from Extras, you have release 0.1.4 which doesn't have the backup features mentioned by qwerty12

Cool, but I was using your Flikr widget and it's already there. Something to keep an eye on then, for now.

I was trying to think of what features you could add to make the image clickable to open the full version or source page in a web browser. But I didn't read enough documentation to know that this isn't already possible. Did you consider this already?

Just make another beecon with this command:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"m.flickr.com/explore/interesting"

Shape it kind of a button and stuck it on top of the flickr one where you like...

Kind of like here:

Maybe you have to tweak a little bit the flickr showing script if you want to point more precisely to the picture you are viewing and opening the relevant page in browser.

or ...

in beecon A (flickr viewer), you can append a specially crafted DBUS set_param_string method to write on param instanceCmd of beecon B (browser popper) the call to browser with proper URL. Every time A is updated with new image, it updates B with URL to start browser...

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

I'm currently the world cup QBW widget to show the day's scoredboard from ESPN and I'm trying to set up a widget to show tomorrow's fixtures. My languaging skills are pretty poor and I'm trying the command:

Code:

wget -U "" -t 1 -T 5 -q -O - 'http://m.espn.go.com/soccer/scoreboard?leagueTag=fifa.world&date=1d+"%Y%m%d"&lang=EN'

but it's not working. Can anyone help me out? cheers.
