To see a working example, simply download from the site as it powers the downloads system.

See here for more information

Three hours later the PHP and MySQL Link/Download Tracker was born.

What it does: The script will count link clicks and store its results in a database.

Setup:

1. Create a new database using you web hosts control panel
2. Select your new database in Phpmyadmin
3. Go to the query tab and paste the following in the box:

   CREATE TABLE `Data` (
   `id` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
   `count` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL default '0' ,
   PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
   ) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

4. Open up config.php and change the database values to match your settings
5. Open up get.php and change the id’s and url’s in the links array to reflect the id’s you want to use. See below for an example:

   $links = array(
   "mydownload1" => "http://some.site/mydownload1.zip",
   "mydownload2" => "http://some.site/mydownload2.zip"
   );

   So if your download was called mytest, you would change mydownload1 to mytest and set the url to the download url of the file. You can add as many id’s as you wish.

6. Upload get.php, show.php and config.php to your server
7. Done

Usage:

The script is called like this: /get.php?id=mydownload1

So instead of linking to /mydownload1.zip, link to /get.php?id=mydownload1

To show your download stats simply call show.php rather than get.php

Update: See here.

• Sparkle integration
• A 64 bit binary
• A rewritten uninstaller
• Various other Mac OS X integration tweaks

These changes are ready, i am purely waiting for Sparkle to be updated to work with Lion. If you are running Snow Leopard and are interested in beta testing the new version, please contact me.

And another thing: rawr

Update: As pointed out by Gabriele “Whisky” Visconti, you will also need GObject and PyCrypto. For instructions on how build/install these see here.

Download Qt from here (You want the Cocoa binary package)

Mount the DMG and install the Qt package

1. Download SIP from here (You want Linux, UNIX, MacOS/X source)
2. Unzip the downloaded file
3. Move the unzipped folder to your home directory
4. Open terminal and run:

cd sip-x.x.x (Change depending on SIP version)
python setup.py
make
sudo make install

5. Download PyQt from here (You want MacOS/X source)
6. Unzip the downloaded file
7. Move the unzipped folder to your home directory
8. Open terminal and run:

cd PyQt-mac-gpl-snapshot-x.x-xxxxx
python setup.py
make
sudo make install

9. Download the latest version of emesene from GitHub and unzip
10. Test it out

cd /emesene-emesene-xxxxxx
./emesene -e main:qt4_main

11. You can delete the folders you moved into your home directory if you wish

You will need:

• Git (http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/list?can=3)
• Apple developer tools
• A text editor (I recommend TextMate)
• Terminal

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE USED MACPORTS/FINK, REMOVE ALL TRACES OF IT BEFORE CONTINUING

I assume you want to install gtk at ~/gtk, if not change the instructions accordingly.

First we need to install JHBuild:

curl -o gtk-osx-build-setup.sh https://raw.github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/master/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

Once JHBuild is installed run these commands:

PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
export PATH

By default JHBuild will install gtk to ~/gtk, if you want a different location edit ~/.jhbuildrc and change the install directory.

We are now ready to build GTK:

jhbuild bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap

Now we need to edit ~/.cache/jhbuild/gtk-osx.modules and remove the line:

<patch file=”https://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/raw/master/patches/gtk-relocation.patch” strip=”1″/>

Once done run:

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python

If you get this error: “checking whether to build Python bindings… configure: error: Couldn’t find the required Python tools.” See here.

Optional: Edit file: ~/.cache/jhbuild/gtk-osx-themes.modules and disable all engines except for clearlooks by adding:

autogenargs="--disable-all --enable-clearlooks"

Then build the themes:

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-themes

GTK and PyGTK should now have been built.

Now navigate to ~/gtk/inst/lib/python2.6/site-packages and copy the contents of the site-packages folder to /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages

Or run:

echo "import site; site.addsitedir('~/gtk/inst/lib/python2.6/site-packages')" && /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth

Next we need to build Pycrypto:

curl -o pycrypto-2.3.tar.gz http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.3.tar.gz
tar -xf pycrypto-2.3.tar.gz
cd pycrypto-2.3
sudo python setup.py install
mv /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Crypto ~/gtk/inst/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Now all the dependencies are in place, lets download emesene 2 from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/emesene/emesene.git
cd emesene
git submodule init
git submodule update

Now browse to navigate to the emesene/emesene directory and double click the executable.

Enjoy!

emesene 2 beta is here. MSN works, Jabber works and it is pretty stable. No need for complex hacking of emesene files to run it. Simple drag and drop to install.

Currently sounds are not working and there is no theme at the moment.

Some more pictures…

Interested?

A beta will be available soon. Request to be a beta tester and then check the beta page.

Update:

We have GTK theme engines at last. Currently ClearLooks is included but Murrine and other engines will be included in the future.

I am having serious problems getting emesene 2 to run on OS X. Currently Papyon will not work, libpyglib keeps crashing and the menu bar does not work.

Without Papyon, WLM does not work. Rather a large problem in a WLM client.

If you know how to fix any of these problems, please fork the emesene repo and contact me if you manage to get emesene 2 running successfully.

Just grab LOIC and fire away.

It used to be about camping but now it’s about boosting. Why? Because some people could not win a free for all if their life depended on it. They rely on cheating to get to first place. Wow. That is really clever isn’t it.

No. Your all ruining gaming.

The whole point of gaming is for some friendly competition, so if two people get together to “boost” it is ruined. After some moron boosting is on 15 kills there is no way playing fairly you can catch up.

I guess my message here is to give people you see boosting bad rep and file a complaint. Get the wankers banned from live. I would do a camp list like before but there are too many cheats too keep track of. It is weird how this only happens on CoD, most other games people play fairly and the players actually have enough skill to bring a challenge.
