A while back I was browsing ti-news.net and I noticed a neat image generator Jake had made to parse ticalc.org stats. Unfortunately, it didn't work in forums, and it didn't display the name of the author. To remedy this, I coded my own parser and generator in php. To implement it in any forum signature:
[url=http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/NN/NNNN.html] [img]http://www.cemetech.net/img/sig/NNNN.png[/img][/url]
Where NNNN is your 4-digit author ID and NN is the first two digits thereof. To implement it in an html page, simply use the tag.
I made an htaccess entry with the RewriteEngine to map the directory.
Nope, it only dls the first 8kb of the file from ticalc.org, regardless of the author, 'cause that's where the text is. And it's a very efficient script on my server, I made it exec in about 0.005 seconds.

Criticism encourages people to improve. When I make something myself I always keep listing all the things that I think aren't as good as they could be (or just plain suck), and when that list is limited to the neccessities (due to technical limitations etc) I release it. That's probably why I haven't released much But at least it guarantees that something I DO release should be unique and state of the art

Anyway, for the record: Well done Kerm

Thank you, Timendius! I appreciate that.
Cool indeed, too bad I'm too ashamed of my worthless published programs (all released within the first 6 months after I got my calc, almost 3 years ago now) to use it.
