I've been seeing a lot of buzz about Yahoo! Pipes, so I decided to hack something up to get some of my favorite RSS feeds. The code is somewhat messy, and there ARE bugs, but it should serve as a pretty good guide to using JS with Pipes. This is nice because it's 100% client-side - no downloading RSS feeds from your server.

Edit: This example uses someone else's premade pipe, so I can't take credit for that.
Well, I'm back in school… Updates will probably be even more spaced out than they have been lately. The combination of a lack of ideas and increased load means I'll be stretched pretty thin.
The other day I posted a link to Slavehack, the online hacking game, and I've been pretty much addicted to it since then. I wrote a little script to edit logs so that it replaces digits with x's. This useful because it cuts down your log editing time by a lot. You need FireFox and GreaseMonkey for this to work. Just install the script, go to a log, and you're ready to go.
My friend showed me a cool "hacking" game called SlaveHack. It's sort of fun, even if it's not realistic. Go check it out.
PHP Version:
function toascii($s){
$tmp = "";
for($i=0;$i<strlen($s);$i++){
$tmp .= "&#" .hexdec(bin2hex($s[$i])) . ";";
}
return htmlentities($tmp);
}
Python Version:
import urllib def encodeDork(s): tmp = "" for i in xrange(0,len(s)): tmp += "&#" + str(int(binascii.b2a_hex(s[i]), 16)) + ";" return urllib.quote(tmp)
Something quick I did.. Very useful for blocked Google queries
