I’m a heavy Yahoo Pipes user, and recently deployed Huginn to Heroku to see if I could use it to replace Pipes. My main motivation for this is ensuring continuity (should Y! decide to pull the plug on Pipes), but an almost equally important one is that managing Pipes has become nightmarish with the amount of individual pipes I’ve accumulated, currently more than 150.

With Huginn I see I can employ Scenarios to group agents together, which is already more than what Pipes offers. But duplicating just a couple of my Pipes’ functionality in Huginn has already produced six agents. Additionally, unlike Pipes, Scenarios can’t be nested (into Scenarios of Scenarios), so I fear that finding and managing individual agents, and perhaps even Scenarios, would eventually become as complicated as managing Pipes once I’d get in double- and triple-digit amounts.

So what I’d like to have in the UI is more means to classify and search for agents. My old-fashioned instinct makes me suggest a directory-like tree structure, but more modern and semantic solutions such as tagging could work just as well if not better. Being able to select an Agent Type could also be one way to narrow down the main agents list (/agents). That list also doesn’t seem to have a search function. The popup list for selecting agents in the Scenario editor does have a search and it seems to work nicely, with real-time results and all, although I’ve not yet created hundreds of agents to see how well it scales.

(In my case, another natural way to reduce the clutter would be having a true singular RSS feed filtering agent (fetch a feed, filter the results, emit the filtered feed), which is my main use-case for Pipes. Currently I’m using an RSS Agent to fetch the feed, a Trigger Agent to filter the results and a Data Output Agent to output the filtered feed, resulting in three separate agents for each of my Pipes. But this is a separate ”Agent Suggestions” issue from the one I’m reporting here. And of course there might already exist a smarter way to do this which I’m just not aware of.)

Olen kahden vaiheilla tästä. Melkein kaikki Vartiotorni-seuran tuottama on enemmän dadaa kuin Lehti, joten koko aliredditin voisi hukuttaa juttuihin sieltä – jolloin vitsi lakkaisi hyvin pian huvittamasta.

/r/Pareidolia edellyttää ”unintentionally”, siksi siellä eivät lisätyt silmät yms. yleensä menesty.

+Gooberslot No problems with Youtube’s RSS feeds here either. I think the problem is limited to Youtube’s own subscription system, which is different.

/etc/X11/imwheel/imwheel rc starts out with:

# This is only for demonstration of the priority command…
# See the other global Exclude command below for the one you want to use!
# If this is activated it will only apps that have a lower priority
# priority is based first on the priority command, then the position in this
# file – the higher the line is in a file the higher in a priority class it is
# thus for a default priority you can see that the position in the file is
# important, but the priority command CAN appear anywahere in a window’s list
# of translations, and the priority will be assigned to all translations below
# it until either a new window is defined or the priority is set again.

I can’t make heads or tails of that. It’s like most of the sentence-ending periods have been misplaced to make random, unnecessary ellipses elsewhere in the file.

Minullakin on Jeppis juuri meneillään! Olin ajatellut, että jollet sitä kohtapian mainitse, niin on pakko udella oletko jo lukenut.

This does indeed seem to be fixed Vivid. Nautilus now has two options to remember the credentials (till logout or forever), and both seem to do what it says on the tin.

Minähän en täältä koskaan lähtenytkään.

Tykkään kovasti tuosta projektista, ja oli ilo löytää sinutkin sieltä.

I have the exact same problem with the exact same scanner (but I’m running 64-bit Ubuntu w/Linux 3.13.0-45). Sometimes instead of error -110 the logs show the device as being identified correctly, but immediately followed by ”string descriptor 0 read error: -32”. On very rare occasions it just works (no errors when plugged in, identified correctly and scanning works).-110 apparently means not enough power, which is doubly funny because the damn thing has its own power source, and surely a desktop PSU has more power than a laptop…

I’d love to have this too, and to have it come down from the top of the screen only once I push the mouse cursor all the way to the top edge. 90% of my menu clicks these days are clicks I meant to hit browser tabs with.
