  Lucas wrote 'The Adventures of Indiana Smith' in 73. While on vacation he spoke with Spielberg, who mentioned he always wanted to do a Bond film. Lucas told him the Indiana character was better than James Bond...

That was done in MS Paint?!? Good God. Normally anything in MSP makes my eyes bleed - the idea of something looking that good out of MSP is kind of hard to handle!

Yes, that IS depressing! However, I'm more of a 3D artist - sculpture and such (sticks tongue out at MS Paint art)

I keep meaning to ask - what do you use to crosspost stuff from delicious? And how do you prevent the times on it being wrong?

[matgb]

I've actually been meaning to write it up for ages, but I'm hosting a php script called delicious glue which creates a valid xmlrpc interface. Mine's edited to suit me (giving me the tags as currently displayed here), but I can do others and/or you can host your own (you've got a php server I believe?).

Debi wrote it up, I linked briefly but not the whole thing:

If you want a script LMK, rehosting it is easy—I keep meaning to see if I can add in an icon selector, as it is I edit it after posting slightly each time.

Time difference remains a problem but I schedule it to post at about midday, and I never personally post in the morning.

[andrewducker]

What timezone is your server in? Because I used to have mine set up with delicious glue, but hit the problem that I have been known to post both at 3am and 8am...

Maybe what I need to do is fine a server in the UK. Or set one up that automatically subtracts the time so it pretends it's in the UK...

Server is somewhere in Canada, but the issue I think is at Delicious itself as it posts CA time as far as I can see. But yeah, I have to make sure I don't post mornings at the moment, I need to reschedule it a bit but currently it's working OK for me.

The script is on the other machine upstairs, but it's on my server—I'll post a link to a DL later.

I took a look at the script. Looks easy enough to tweak - but it's PHP5 and my host only does PHP4. I've lodged a support thingy with them...

Bah!

[andrewducker]

Got there:
$date = new DateTime("now + 5 hours");
$year = $date->format('Y');
$mon = $date->format('n');
$day = $date->format('j');
$hour = $date->format('G');
$min = $date->format('i');
The bit to replace should be fairly obvious :->

Oh - and replace the time difference with whatever yours is...

[matgb]

Cool—will play tomorrow assuming it's worked for you, danke.

[andrewducker]

Great - the original script is no longer there.

Got a copy you can chuck me?
