Famous last words. I underestimated the life impact of full-time work
and a toddler.

This specific issue (script error on startup on Vista) I have
committed a fix for, but I have not yet built a new release.

I haven't had the bandwidth to look into the other issues (script
error on launch) in any detail.

Would anyone like me to build a new release off what we have right
now? There are a couple of fixes and some new searches in since last
time.

Cheers,
- Kim

This is outright embarrassing, but I just found this e-mail via
another message I had on my todo list.

I've now added iptools to the contrib page.

Thank you for the contribution!

[DQSD-Users] New popup search request: dictionary API search to replace "mwd /p"

2009-04-15 Thread David Blume
For years, I've loved the popup feature of the mwd search "mwd 
/p" which I alias to ":".  This link includes a picture of how
it used to look:

http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html

It is absolutely my favorite feature.  By not opening up a new tab or
window, it was very efficient and nonobtrusive.

Every few months, though, merriam-webster.com would change the layout of
their page, forcing us to tweak the mwd search to make the popup feature
work again.  This has been going on for years.  The last couple of months,
merriam-webster.com changed it, broke my search, changed it again, making my
search work again (huzzah!), changed it again, and now it's broken again.

I've finally given up on merriam-webster.com.

Does anybody have the bandwidth to create a new dictionary search that opens
a popup window that uses a published (not-ever-changing) API?  How about the
aonaware api?

http://www.aonaware.com/services.htm

Here's an example of the actual API our new search would use (try "gcide"
for the dictId, and a word like "internecine" for the word field):

http://services.aonaware.com/DictService/DictService.asmx?op=DefineInDict

It seems like that would be so much more stable.  (Although I arbitrarily
chose "DefineInDict with gcide" over "Devine", that's the feature I'd be
most interested in.  I don't care about a lot of definitions, I just want
one authoritative one.)

Anybody willing to give it a crack?  The UI of the popup feature from the
mwd search applied to the response from aonaware's dictionary API
DefineInDict request?
