Feed aggregator

I don't have good access to a publicly accessible server so I was thinking about how I should set up this bot (software that will do something people usually do). I haven't found a good library that implements reddit's API so I am working on one in Python. Most communication with the bot will be via messages. They are secure and they are private.

My code is intended to be an implementation of the API so it could be for a wide variety of applications. The structure is very object and package oriented.

# sample code import reddit # make client c = reddit.Client() # login (if session cookie exists, will use that) c.login('username','password') # print body of first message print( c.current_user.get_messages()[0].data['body'] )

Some ideas:

• change reddit flair
• change reddit subtitle
• add a logo to rotating logo scheme (have bot change logo everyday)
• (maybe) sub-mod permissions (you have power, but you're not a mod)

Basically, you would send a message to the bot with:

• flair This is my flair text

Change flair

• logo http://server.com/my_reddit_logo.png

Add logo to rotation pool. (Problem: someone could specify a huge or obscene image that would get added automatically.)

• title mountain dew is the best soda ever made

Change page title. (Problem: configuration is on community settings page which many not be a nice form to work with.)

I have a good structure of the code completed, but it is far from complete. I am modeling the code after the API docs (trying to keep similar names so it is easier to follow).

(I will include any updates here)

I will provide the source code for anyone to use for anything. It will be in Python 3 and will only rely on Python 3 standard modules (no need for curl).

This alpha release includes a test client that prints some user info and some frontpage posts. (Posting comments is a problem; giving me HTTP 500 errors)

Fantagraphics Books has two new collected editions of famous and historically significant comic strips available. Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse brings together the 1930′s comic strips created by Floyd Gottfredson, newly edited by David Gerstein and Gary Groth. Besides nearly 600 pages of black & white Mickey Mouse adventures, each hardcover volume also features more than 50 pages of supplemental material including behind-the-scenes art, vintage publicity material, and commentary by Disney historians. Volume 1, Race to Death Valley, was released last June, and Volume 2, Trapped on Treasure Island, is coming this October. Then in December, be on the lookout for Pogo: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips, Volume 1, “Through the Wild Blue Yonder” (whew!) by the inimitable Walt Kelly, of course. This hardcover edition goes back as far as the 1940′s Pogo strips, and also features a biographical introduction, an extensive glossary by comics historian R. C. Harvey, and a forward by the legendary columnist Jimmy Breslin.

I have no idea why they contacted me - I'm not an artist nor a fursuit builder, and I'm not popufur at all, but I was wondering if anyone else got this e-mail? I'm not going to do it, of course, but I'm curious as to if anyone else got it.

The email is as follows:

Do you dress up in a fur suit and have an animal persona (fursona)? Do you meet with other furries online or in person? Do you sometimes feel that you’re really an animal stuck in a human body? How does being furry affect your personal and romantic relationships? Do you wish everyone would finally understand what being furry is really about? Whether your friends and family know about your fursona or not, here is your opportunity to show what the furry lifestyle really is.

If you appear to be between the ages of 18 and 28 and want to be part of this exciting opportunity, email us at jamiecastsreality@gmail.com Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number, a recent photo of yourself and one in your fursona. Tell us your story.

EDIT: Guess I wasn't clear enough. I do not intent to go forward with this in any way, shape or form. I am simply asking if anyone else got this e-mail, and why. I'm simply curious why they picked me.

We’re back from our brief hiatus, and we’ve got three new e-mails on the topic of conventions! We get to hear about first conventions, give some suggestions on things to bring, and encourage people to make the leap from anime cons over to the furry variety! We also cover a variety of other topics; Halfwit goes rantypants about driving, Istanbul goes rantypants about freeloading, and Kyo gives his con report about Mephit Furmeet 2011!

Our next episode is going to be all about evil exes. No, we don’t mean virii that try to get onto your computer…we mean ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends who have proven that they’re the lowest of the low! All three podcasters have stories about this, and if you want to share, now’s the time! Don’t worry, we won’t use any names on the air. And hey, if you just want to talk about things like revenge tactics or what your buddy’s evil exes have done to them, that’s okay too!

Finally, we want to mention it here: while we will tend to give precedence to topical e-mails over non-topical e-mails, all e-mails are always welcome, and one kind of e-mail will always get preference: the one where you ask for help. Fuzzy Logic was created to help you, the listeners, through the hard times in your life. Even if your problem isn’t on-topic, it’ll always receive the highest priority with us. Never be afraid to write in for help, that’s what we’re here for!

"It's the last day of Pet Week on the Woot blog, and to me, no wild animal seems like a more appealing pet than a fox. They're cute, smart, playful, closely related enough to dogs to seem petlike, but not as scary as wolves. Indeed, as a decades=long Russian breeding experiment shows, when selectively bred for tameness, foxes become more doglike, both temperamentally and physically. Naturally, I was fascinated by the blog The Pet Fox, and its wealth of posts about fox care, fox behavior, and the editor's own pet fox, Gizmo (pictured throughout this blog). I just had to ask the editor, who goes by the online handle Ragtatter, about what it's like to share a home with these one of these lithe, resourceful, tufty-tailed quadrapeds..."

Here's my original 'sona. You can revamp her, or make a completely new one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/slorgums/flux-1.jpg

I tried on another forum but nothing really stood out to me.

So, if you'd like to give it a shot, here is a little bit of info as to what should go into this. Please read the list completely.

Animals:

I like...

-Wolves -Jackals -Snow Leopards -Ravens -Foxes -Rams -Blue Jays -Hawks -Lynx -Badgers -Skunks -Parrots -Hyenas -African Wild Dogs -Dragons - Koi Fish

Colours:

I am partial to...

-Gray -Green -White -Orange -Teal -Tan -Silver -Icy Blue -Lilac -Natural Colors

Interests:

I love...

-Snowboarding -Zombies -Horror and Comedy -Nature -Writing -Drawing -Reading -Hiking -Animals -Fishing -SNOOOOOOOW!!! -Meeting new people -Exploring

Likes:

• Spaghetti -Futurama -Memebase -Cracking Jokes -Laughing -Learning -Fruity Mentos -Watching movies -The beach -Tattoos -Piercings

I guess those could fit in with my interests, but I thought I might need to separate them. x3

Dislikes:

-Loud people -Mayonnaise -Rude people -Litterbugs -Animal Abusers -Dishonesty -Poisonous Millipedes / Centipedes

About me:

I'm twenty, going on twenty one. I would describe myself as a tomboy, but I do like to look nice and doll myself up. I'm a nerd, and enjoy Anime and dweebing out on memebase and Failblog. I love a good laugh, and it doesn't matter at whose expense. I laugh at myself all the time. I'm really artsy and love to draw and write. I'm an avid outdoors-woman, and I love spending time in nature. My favorite season is winter, because I'm hopelessly addicted to snowboarding and the cold weather in general, though I don't like how pasty I get. I'm quiet until you get to know me. I usually portray all of my characters as male, but if it fits, I'd be just as happy with a female. I prefer the company of animals to people, for the most part. I'm a hopeless romantic, and have been known to trust people a bit too easily. I've also been described as a troublemaker (partying, drugs, fights, etc).

I'd love to see someone give it a shot! Thanks :3
