That Favorites Script

poeks:

Okay, I quickly hacked together a standalone version of my favorites script in Perl. You run it from your favorite shell, it asks for your username, you type it in, and you’re good to go. I realize not everyone is going to have any idea what I’m talking about. Namely, most people.

So if you are one of those hallowed, nerdy few, please try the script out and let me know if it works. It should output a list of your favorites in the format “#. username (num faves)”.

If you don’t know how to run things from the commandline, or are on Windows, and would still like to use this script, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to make it less… nerdish.

To download, right click this bad boy, and “Save Link As…”

the favorites script.

Neat-o (I said as much in the comments over there) little script that does exactly want you might think. If you’ve got Cygwin it should work; I tried to turn it into a standalone Windows exe but failed miserably in half an hour after installing a few different Perl packages. C’est la vie.
