WSOP Update
Been out in Vegas for a week, played three WSOP events: the shootout, the “turbo” (still has 30 minute levels), and a regular NLHE. Ran well; got third on my table at the shootout (which isn’t in the money – only first is), and min-cashed the other two. Back to Austin for a break; then…

Showing off with shell “nr” (NumerousApp) command
I wrote some scripts demonstrating what you can do with all the bits and pieces I have now for manipulating NumerousApp metrics from python and shell. In particular, I was interested in finding the maximum value of one of my metrics:3626358291300704487 (this is the actual NumerousApp metric ID) I have already installed the python numerous client library and…

NumerousApp Server API Performance
I added yet another numerous metric, this time tracking the performance of the NumerousApp server itself: http://n.numerousapp.com/m/1dlt3ykfq5vqs It’s measured using this python code: import numerous nr = numerous.Numerous() nr.user() nr.user() t = nr.statistics[‘serverResponseTimes’] print (int(t*10000)/10.0)” which is using my NumerousApp Python library (“pip install numerous”). I just make two user() API calls (discarding the returned…

Friday the 13th and NumerousApp
I made a new NumerousApp metric that will tell you when the next Friday the 13th is: http://n.numerousapp.com/m/1w4c4tk4uh29j Nerd info: I wrote this brute-force python program to find the next Friday the 13th: from datetime import datetime, date dt = datetime.now() while dt.day != 13 or dt.weekday() != 4: dt = date.fromordinal(dt.toordinal()+1) It gets today via…

Arduino Data Monitor Program
Finally got around to uploading (to github) and documenting my Arduino program for monitoring analog inputs. It’s pretty cool; it: Keeps a ring-buffer of readings and allows you to see what your monitored input has been doing over time. Implements a web server – you can access the readings with your web browser. Has a…

Simple Screen Scraping
I’ve integrated a lot of data sources in my NumerousApp metrics and some of them come from screen scraping web pages. I’ve stumbled into a fairly general way to do this so I’m writing it up here. First off, make sure the web site you are scraping from allows it. The example I’ll use here…
