I think I might step into this thread for a little bit. I write desktop software and web apps for a living, and know my way around C#, PHP, and Javascript. I'd like to learn how to make Chrome extensions, but I don't have any decent ideas for a project. If anybody has a simple and/or dumb chrome extension that they'd like to see exist, I will see what I can do. I can also make some windows apps or web stuff for y'all, but my priority here is Chrome extensions.

Went way far back in the thread looking for something that never got fulfilled and that I wanted. I'd like a chrome extension/app that watches different sites every 30seconds/1min for HTTP 200 status. It doesn't have to be pretty. Must handle redirects. Bonus points: - in the event of a page not loading, check more frequently. - all sites fit on page without scrolling Hyper Combo: - User defined words can cause different status (ie; I see the word maintenance, be an orange box) - chart status over course of the day on mouseover Combo Breaker Hyperpoints: - accept outside ajax requests to create/update boxes Concept:  I did something similar but started running into blocking/wait issues when watching 20+ sites. Haven't got around to re-writing it in Javascript. Can definitely rustle up  if that would take more than an afternoon.Inspired by: Hoborg posted:

Oops, forgot about this, sorry  Yes this was me, you can get the GIF thing here: http://mobby6kl.nfshost.com/apps/gif.rar Just run the exe with two arguments for folders where the static and animated gifs would be moved, and it will go through the gifs in its directory. I don't recall how exactly I came up with that identification method but it's not perfect and there are a few incorrect classifications, but shouldn't be too many.

I did not like their desktop application at all and this seems to just be a web portal to view what the desktop application is finding. Maybe monitoring sites is new to that tool. But it would end up looking like: https://uptimerobot.com/ is better but still not perfect for what I'm wanting. Though If I work with their API long enough I could probably get the GUI I want.

It's a crime when such a status app is only usable in full window mode instead of making use of the system tray.mobby_6kl posted:Oops, forgot about this, sorry gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Aug 25, 2016 |

I'm looking for a software solution to listen for a specific sound clip, and if detected perform another action such as open a file. This isn't a "tiny" app by any means from a programming standpoint, I just wonder if something like this is already out there. Googling is coming up dry.

Should it be listening for a sound file on your hard drive being played by another program? If so, you could see if the last access timestamp changes when it plays.

The sound file itself, a sound effect in a game, is in an archive with others and might even be playing from memory. Good idea though.

It would probably be easier to use Cheat Engine to detect the event that triggers the sound to play than to identify a sound from the audio. Then, have it execute whatever command you like.

I was thinking in Overwatch for Windows when hitting an enemy. Normally it makes this small fizzy noise like a drink being opened that gets really hard to hear over the din. I would probably change it to Quake 3 Arena or Space Invaders hitsound if I could. I would be open to using Cheat engine too. Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Oct 7, 2016 |

Yeah, even if you made something like a passive trainer to accomplish this, using Cheat Engine to make that tool would be risking a VAC ban. ...Maybe if you had a spare (or virtual) PC and Overwatch has an offline mode with bots, you could install it on that PC, install Cheat Engine on that PC, physically disconnect that PC from the network, make the tool, and uninstall Steam before reconnecting that PC to the network. Then Steam couldn't very well have an opportunity to VAC ban you at all.

I wonder if someone could help me with this excel file please? What i'd like is a new button that copies a selected row from the Proposal Priority List tab and puts the relevant data (Sales Manager, Proposal Engineer, Project Number, Project Name, Submission Type, Business Sector, ITT Receipt Date, Due Date) into a new row under the Current Projects section of the Forecast Projects tab. http://bit.ly/2hN90Jb I'm happy to pay for it if it's a great deal of work. I've had a brief look at the existing code and it's a bit of a mess so I don't know how to execute what I want without messing up what's already there.

This coincides a bit with some things I'd been looking to mess with and already know, but I'm mostly proficient with java/c and this seems like something that requires either a background process or a server running it in order to do stuff like chart status. If you're doing it on a desktop or something, I can probably throw together an applet or something that does what you want. Probably including the hyper combo poo poo. Edit: I'm a dumbass who assumes things on the last page of threads are from the last week or two.

I'm still interested in that. Did some patchwork on my existing monitor but it can still get tripped up if too much wait time is introduced, a flaw in the original design that would be difficult to replace. Several people pointed out the problem with "- in the event of a page not loading, check more frequently." to which I agree somewhat. I'd like to check each site or service every 30seconds/1min. During troubleshooting however, one min is a long time to wait.

Chunjee posted:Went way far back in the thread looking for something that never got fulfilled and that I wanted. Why does it need to be a Chrome extension? This looks to be exactly what tools like nagios (mrtg and others) have been created for . Is there a particular reason? For the "accept outside ajax requests to create/update boxes" requirement it pretty much requires it to be a desktop application as you cannot (or shouldn't) listen on a socket from an extension.

Did some patchwork on my existing monitor but it can still get tripped up if too much wait time is introduced, a flaw in the original design that would be difficult to replace. Yeah, I'll start taking a look and formalizing up my architecture. I was just going to add a "Check now" button. This will certainly take me longer than someone more experienced, as I've mostly forgotten what little I learned about coding GUIs and I'm pretty rusty on everything else. Getting back into it and relearning/building up some projects to show off. (Though the basic poo poo will probably only take an afternoon of solid work) That said, I had a couple questions that are likely to come up as I move on: are 301/30X code redirects the only ones it needs to handle? or does it need to work with HTML refresh redirects as well? with user defined words, do you mean just in the status message? or anywhere on the site? And, finally, I don't know jackshit about AJAX, so the last request will probably be pretty hard.

Chunjee posted:deadly_pudding was originally wanting to do a chrome extension and taking suggestions. Any approach works for me. Ah, ok. So, i did a bit of fiddling with this, as I wanted to try out a couple of new c++ libraries (crow http and MS PPL). The source-code and the first release are available at https://github.com/sa55231/WebMonitoring. The direct URL for this release is https://github.com/sa55231/WebMonitoring/releases/download/v0.1/WebMonitoring.zip . It is a 64bit windows service, which provides a web server available at port 18080 (therefore http://localhost:18080/ will work, as well as [url]http://[/url]<my local ip>:18080/). I'm not sure how new of a windows requires, but anything newer than Vista should be fine. In the readme on github I provided some basic documentation of how to get it up and going. Things that will come in the future: - Historical graph - Speed up requests when the site does not provide a success status. At the moment it checks at 60 seconds interval, no matter what. On my local machine, using the release build, it uses 40MB of RAM when monitoring 117 sites. It should be relatively ok with quite a few more. For any bugs (of which Im sure there are many) or feature requests, open up and issue on github and i'll do my best to make it happen.

That's strange. I installed it here at work (had to change the user that the service is running under to Localsystem since Network Service was simply not allowed to do anything, thanks IT) and seems to work. Granted, I am using Firefox and a RestClient extension for it, but I tried chrome and Advanced Rest Client extension, and that worked too. What extension are you using? Though I can't imagine the extension itself being the problem, I mean they all should work in the same way.... Try giving the service Local System permissions (look at the code, it's not doing anything fancy). Or, if you want to just run it as a console application as the user you're logged in, you can delete the %PROGRAMDATA%\webmon folder and start it from a console window as "WebMonitoring.exe -run". The %PROGRAMDATA%\webmon folder contains the sqlite database the application is using.

Running it with my local user seemed to work. However I'm already not understanding how its getting error 500 on two of the main urls I watch. My understanding is they are behind a redirect.

Chunjee posted:Those do not match my urls. Hah, you're right, my bad. Fixed those and the correct ones work as well. http://imgur.com/a/X0Efh Try to run it as LocalSystem to just eliminate that possibility. If that works then it means that there is some permission problem which needs to be addressed, but at least I can look into it with that knowledge. I'm not comfortable with it running as LocalSystem, as it does listen on a port and that's not secure no matter how you look at it, but at least gives me a starting point. Nothing else works for you (google?).

The exact error is WINHTTP_CALLBACK_STATUS_FLAG_SECURITY_CHANNEL_ERROR: The application experienced an internal error loading the SSL libraries. There's something wonky with either the client OS or the certificate (as google seems to be fine).
