Lunch at home

Working from home today. Due to late return from Dundee yesterday, we got a carryout for tea. Plentiful leftover Chinese food for lunch — yum!

Now Kate has brought through a big bowl of melon. Must go and get some before Beth scoffs it all.

Which of your LJ friends are on DW?

Don’t know whether there is an easier way to do this. This script will read a user’s LJ friends list, and check to see whether DW accounts with the same names exist.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'open-uri'

friends = Array.new

ARGV.each do |lj_user|
  open("http://www.livejournal.com/misc/fdata.bml?user=#{lj_user}").readlines.each do |line|
    friends.push line.slice(2...line.length).strip if line =~ /^<|>/
  end
end

friends.sort.uniq.each do |friend|
  puts friend if open("http://users.dreamwidth.org/#{friend}").read !~ /^<h1>Unknown User/
end
