title: Enlightenment Menu Fun
---

Seems like noone makes anything fun for
<a href="http://www.enlightenment.org/">Enlightenment</a> menus.
Well, I decided to write a few.
<a href="/downloads/script.phtml#e_stock_menu_0_1_tar_gz">This one</a>
generates real-time stock quotes in your E menu.  If you select the
menu item, it looks up the symbol on
<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/">Yahoo's Finance page</a>.  Neat.
And <a href="/downloads/script.phtml#e_cam_menu_0_1_tar_Gz">this one</a>
builds an E menu of your <a href="/projects/cam/">Cam</a> bookmarks,
which is makes things even easier than typing "cam person".  Both
the scripts check to see if they've already added themselves to the
toplevel User menu, so you can run them more than once without any
adverse effects (ie via a cron job or whatever).
<br /><br />

Oh yeah.  I made yet another change to the scoring on 
<a href="/tetrinet/">my Tetrinet page</a>.  Basically, a person
who does pretty good in a lot of games will now rate higher than
someone who does incredibly well in a few games.  The idea is to
provide incentive for the good players to keep playing.
<br /><br />

I noticed the <a href="http://www.mrob.com/gnut/">Gnut page</a>
is now linking directly here for my uncommitted patches.  For
those of you who don't know, you can apply these patches as
follows:
<br />
<font face="sans-serif" size="-1">
<ul>
cd gnut-0.4.16/<br />
patch -p5 &lt; path/to/patchfile-blah.diff<br />
make &amp;&amp; su -c "make install"<br />
</font>
</ul>
Okay, that's all for today.  My video card arrives tomorrow, so
I'm going to need some sleep.
