Ah, but you were probably prescribed a course of antibiotics rather than a course of bleeding by leeches. I humbly suggest your chances of survival are much higher than Wolfgang's were.

True. But it's interesting to know I have something potentially fatal. It took me two weeks to go to the doctors too.

GAAAAAARGH!!!!

What is it with people insisting that an Office product must be used for everything and anything!? Today alone I've had pictures sent to me in Word and step by step instructions given to me using Powerpoint. Now I've presented my boss with some results from a script I wrote which is in a text file, and she insisted that they should go into Excel. Why!? We aren't doing anything with the data that requires Excel.
The only differences between the two approaches is that spreadsheet is twice the size and takes about three times as long to open...


Grrrrr!

Bugger, there goes another stress toy in the bin...

Yesterday I had a black eye, shaved head and a bit of a beard. How manly.

Today I look like I have multicoloured eyeliner around one eye. Brilliant.

Is your current look due to someone, (possibly you) applying multicoloured eyeliner around one eye? :shock: ;)

Or is this a hobby related incident? 8-)

Obviously if it's not, than please accept my apologies! :oops: :D

As you know this is a hobby related incident! Funny thing is that I was off to meet a lady friend last night, you'd be amazed how quick I can go from tough-guy sparring at the gym to hurt little guy who needs all the sympathy in the world. ;)

I didn't actually know it was hobby related, (though I'd kinda guessed) because it's not beyond the realms of possibility that you hit yourself in the face on a top cupboard in the kitchen, or accidentally smacked yourself in the face whilst trying to unblock the loo, etc. ;) :P

There's nothing wrong with milking the whole sympaphy thing a bit, as women have been doing that since time began! :lol:

* runs like [lifted]! *

The clunky python script I've used before to count the 24hr threads is a rather crude screen-scraper, shown below. It'll need some modifications, but I'm a bit busy tonight, sorry. If anyone wants to fix it, feel free!
Code:
import os, glob, string
from operator import itemgetter
from urllib import urlopen

"""Method that prints the results nicely"""
def printResults():
    #Produce a sorted list of tuples
    scores = sorted(results.items(), key=itemgetter(1), reverse=True)
    for score in scores: #Iterate over the tuples, printing them
        print score[0].ljust(25) , score[1]

"""Method that add's a person's posts to the results dictionary"""
def addPost(person):
    if results.has_key(person):
        results[person] += 1
    else:
        results[person] = 1

"""Method that finds all the posts in a page, and adds the posts to the dictionary of results"""
def findPosts(text):
    startPost, startName, endName = 0,0,0
    while True:
        startPost = text.find('><a name=', endName)
        if startPost == -1:
            break
        startName = text.find('<b>',startPost) + 3
        endName = text.find('</b>', startName)
        addPost(text[startName:endName])

"""Method that grabs all the pages in the thread from the web"""
def grabFiles():
    thread = input('Enter the thread id of the thread to be counted: ')
    pages = input('Enter the number of pages to be counted: ')
    html = ''

    for page in range (0, pages):
        url = 'http://www.pcpro.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=' + `thread` + '&start=' + `15*page`
        html += urlopen(url).read()
    return html

results = {} #Dictionary to store each poster's current post count

findPosts(grabFiles())
printResults()

It's a long long way from my finest code, but bear in mind it was written after a 24hr thread!
