So, today I was wasting time, and I came up with a nice little program that gets a list of all Marathon users from Mariusnet. For you Linux users, XFCE's "genmod" plugin, or similar stuff for other systems, can use programs like this to great effect. Here's how I've applied it:



The program that does the processing is in Lua, but I'm sure either I or someone else can put it into a different language for general use. Anyone interested?

Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?

It's probably pretty useless to you, since it's written in Lua, and the actual graphical stuff is a plugin from a Linux window manager.

Do you have Lua? Do you know how to install Lua? Do you have or know how to get XFCE and the genmon plugin?
