Idea for new fight notification

Not to give you even more to do, but it would be cool if there were a locked topic that only administrators like FM could go to, and all it did was announce when the new fight is posted. Anyone who wants to could watch the thread, so that when the new fight post was entered by FM, the people watching the thread would get emails telling us the new fight is up.
Just an idea.

Perhaps the Fightmasters could pop round and tune all our guitars personally as well?

Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
md5file = $HOME/.songfight-md5
md5=`wget -O - http://songfight.org/cyan/stream.m3u | md5sum`
[ -f $md5file ] && [ `cat $md5file` -ne $md5 ] && echo 'New fights are posted!' | mail jim@jimowen.org -s 'songfight notification'
rm -f $md5file
echo $md5 > $md5file
Run from cron.daily or similar.

Not if the fight colors keep changing.

Hey, I didn't say I run it or anything. Just giving Jim a pointer for how he can do it himself.

An RSS feed would be completely passive and yet effective in announcing new fights.
Also, an RSS feed with enclosures (Podcast) would automatically stage the fight on my iPod.
But I'm just being selfish here.

Roymond, feel free to add iPod staging functionality to my <a href="

http://trikuare.cx/code/sftags">scripts</a> if you like. I'd actually like it if you did (I don't know how to properly add songs to a playlist externally to iTunes and I'm too lazy to learn AppleScript right).

I'd be glad to if you'll help with installing ID3v2. The install file doesn't do it for me.
