Hehehehehe. :) I use Trillian with it's Weather plugin. LOVE IT. Though I'd prefer if everything I could ever want to do was in DQSD, sometimes you just gotta use those 'other' programs. > I think an addon or some sort of functional > interface in the search.htm would be nice. I really think we oughtta make the change in search.htm again. Before you all respond, please hear me out... Kinda like how we modified the code for search.htm to provide the 'alternate viewport' ability (which I now use *every single day* with one of my searches) - providing a 'trigger' method that occured every 'cycle' duration would be a really cool option. What we'd do is gut the current clock update event and move it into a separate function, add a new variable for the function to call on the 'clockupdate' cycle (like 'clockevent'), which would then be set to default to the new clock updating method. People could add a pref to set "clockevent = 'myrss()';" (or whatever) and it'd perform that function instead of updating the clock, every clockupdate ms. Simple searches would gain access to these abilities without having to be coded as an addon. Don't get me wrong - though I love that addons *can* be done, and have more abilities than simple, or complex even, searches, I'm not fond of relying on addons for what I believe should be basic functionality. I'd be happy to make whatever conversions were necessary in the code to make this happen. Just let me know that a consensus believes this is a reasonable solution. > Also, completely unrelated, I tried to submit my changes > to CVS for the mousescroll history, it looked to have > worked from the clientside (said it emailed DQSD-CVS) > and then I look on web-cvs and not a thing has changed > to reflect it. So I'll probably try again tonight. IIRC, Kim mentioned something to the effect that the CVS-Web was not being updated regularly. This is an SF problem. All in good time. :| Regards, Shawn K.
