yagh i'll clean up the mess but i got shit on the stove so i'll just put it here cos this seems to work regardless of day diff and what not, i can't just make a new post every time i pat myself on the eureka back so i edit, for now, 't is no bother trying, this is me and this is how i chaos, now, before my stuff burns ... brb

_{well its not github and i'm not really trying to educate although if anyone gets anything from anything i say i guess thats a nice bonus. It's just my journey as i dive nose first below the surface. I forgot
in the underground is where the shadows are}

snippet number two .. before i start crontabbing on a newly formatted machine i think i best collect a few working bits

so after how much money is my l33t vote worth at 100% (about almost half an sbdcent atm now btw ... i am made of ubber)

i thought , since i try to stick to 100% votes unless i go afk for more than two hours ... (in which case i do max 4 or 5) something to make some noise when its about time would have been quite useful so i gets to digging

i put on my robe and wizard hat , light some candyls and pray to the 1e100 because even if i had a head for long term storage i still think most of the time syntax is a waste of brainspace. I take my other scribbles, open up and start "mucking about", oldskool c64 music in the background, speakers loud enough to kill the background noise of hell

---

and some hours later i think i have a werking v0.0 version, which probably can be easily adapted to just running on crontab but

if i use the command


watch -n 300 ./vote100notify_wrk.sh @rudyardcatling

all prepacked with standard linux mint install, no need for apting fresh packages
_{teknikley (i do that for that gremmernazibot) you can run each and any of these scripts in separate terminal windows for several accounts at once, they will not interfere with each other but it might get noisy if six start speaking at once ofcourse , if i do the previous in one terminal and then in another
watch -n 300 ./vote100notify_wrk.sh @ubasti
and if need be run the tellmemyvoteworth script in another every 5 minutes or hour it won't collide, but i have no clue how far it goes before either belgium tries ruining it or i get bored with it ... variables}
it runs in terminal , every 5 minutes (300 seconds) , checks ... then uses another nice little prepacked tool called espeak to speak to me , how many seconds left (on approximation) before i can do a 100% vote again

i'm hanging round here all day anyway, and thats what computers are for right (i mean besides free porn ofcourse)
to help lazy people like me out

and it works ... YO LO, all hail the me, and i got something to post today that's not a re-steem or something i try to hard to type together and ends up like a fabricated popsong

i made a slight alteration to the other one

https://steemit.com/rudyardcatling/@rudyardcatling/uxcatling-how-i-get-the-value-of-my-100-vote-using-linux-shell-script-and-steemdb-v0-01

so i can pass usernames as arguments on the commandline

YAY COMMANDLINE !

because that is how its done after all, now i can use any account name with either script and it will give me the goodies ...

so then phoneboy comes in with mister formal Ed and goes like icandothatfaster

i'm not competing bro, ... this is what i did today, its time to eat

enjoy, or not, or enjoy something else

or not

i'm not a content nazi and i'm not looking for a position in the spotlight either ...

#rudyardcatling #ucxatling #linux #api #steemit #linuxfoundation #scripting #coding #programming #votes #votepercentage #howto #unix #bash

i think i got the timeframe about right this time, it does seem to converge with the major sites and tools but .. that will need observation ofcourse

have a nice day ...! remember , downvoting is so passé ... mute what you dont wanna hear and it will never bother you again and you'll make no enemies

image from ... guess from where ... (logos from 'by me' and stuff)

how many posts does one make a day ... how many re-steems ? what's considered spam ... its a huge place but this is not twitter ... you gotta go measuring risk / reward ratios and what not ... i thought five but i can't do five and not neglect some people, i thought ten but i think ten is TOO much so ... i guess i vary, one own-post a day however is probably not a bad idea since i'm not one of those dudes raking in $100 or more after the first five minutes lol

so well , slowly but without fear of ever quitting i guess it doesnt go down so what's to lose

here's hoping this is the last edit to this post until v0.01 is presentable
asking you say ,

where's the fun in that, sounds like teamwork

makes my skin itch

o yes i do, i do understand how it does collide when running at the exact same time in the same folder because of the filenames right, ofcourse well ... doesnt seem too hard to fix, if it needs fixing at all, i'm not sure if bashdash has provisions for same scripts running simultaneously becaue lockfile doesnt seem good idea since its timebased, but a different folder should fix it nicely in any case but thanks, but it would be nice if someone could answer in the dev channel believe me or not this is driving my oldskool brain pretty dam crazy and i can assure you i got enough on my plate here in hell, if you can help, you can maybe help get me out faster, save the state some money because i wont need their blood money anymore and if you want taxes ask those who cost you, not me ... if i cost nothing thats 1000s saved, i'll go for that
