Dicey Wave Bot

As any good geek would, when faced with something cool and new that also has a published API, I thought I’d see if I can write a quick dirty Google Wave Bot.

The purpose of this bot is to automate dice rolls for role playing games. It supports the typical 4d6+1 format, where 4 is the number of dice to roll, 6 is the number of sides each die has and 1 is the modifier to add to the total. It also supports multiple rolls, so you might do: 3d3+1 – 2d2, and it would return the individual rolls and the total of the 2 rolls.

You include it into your own wave by inviting diceywavebot@appspot.com

If you get some good use out of this bot, I’d love to hear about it. Also, let me know if you run into any bugs or have suggestions on making the bot better.

VCF to CSV converter v0.2

New version of the converter is ready for testing. It adds support of a large number of fields and conforms to the VCARD 3.0 standard. I have also moved it to Google code to allow for better communication with end users.

You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/vcf-to-csv-converter/

Drupal module – Steal Content

It struck me as rather odd that Drupal doesn’t allow you to include the content of one node inside of another node without writing code, so I made this quick little module. “Steal Content” is a filter allowing you to include the “body” of another node inside a node, by sticking in a tag.

You will need to enable this filter, for each input format, under Site Configuration > Input Formats.

Usage Example:

<steal_content node_id=1>
