Nice work, i have seen a few scripts similar to this ... perhaps you could couple it with an image generator and place it in your sig?

Check out my sig's url. ticalc.org blocking = bah.
Edit: oh, apparently I removed it anyway.

Did you cache the data? After all, you only need to update them for any given user if the last update was more than a day ago. And you don't even need to do it as a cron job, simply check the difference every time a signature is requested by someone. That way you wouldn't generate noticeable traffic on ticalc.

He was updating everytime the image was shown.

coBB: That was the problem - they shut me down before I could implement caching. :/
Edit: *out, not down.

The problem was rather: you didn't implement caching before using it.

Is this the script that has no GUI and I had to run using an IDE?
You should see the cool stuff I had going on project CalcStat...
If only I could get wxPython to work on my mac. >:(

I've talked to JMan (I think it was a while ago), and asked him about a system of XML files for each author that includes ALL of the author's information. This means that we can easily create programs for tracking ticalc stats with very few http requests (they were really slowing down my script). It hasn't happened yet, but if we bug JMan enough it will happen!
