This is under construction, but it is just my attempt at creating a imgur uploader in Adobe AIR.

I was reading this journal and i noticed that there were a ton of FA usernames, and it would be useful to see people’s icons and maybe have a link to their FA profile.

FA has a syntax for this, which is simply :iconUSERNAMEHERE: for both a icon and a link, :USERNAMEHEREicon: for just a icon and :linkUSERNAMEHERE: for just a link.

So i wrote a quick java program to read FA usernames from a text file and would write them to another text file formatted them how the user wanted, either icon, link, or both.

It works, but however i seemed to of been stonewalled by FA themselves. It seems that their journal rendering system only parses the first 20 of these links and ignores the rest and just leaves them as :iconwhatever: . I can understand this if there were a ton of icons and the server would have to serve all of those every time someone visited the page, but that should not be happening if they are just hyperlinks. Whatever FA…..not like its going to get fixed any time soon.

Here is the program if anyone wants it.

Java Minecraft Archiver

This is a little utility i have been writing to help me manage my minecraft saves between computers.

I was just using the trick where you use mklink (on windows) or just symlinks on linux to link my .minecraft directory to my Dropbox folder, but Dropbox completely chokes on tons of small files, and minecraft saves have many thousands of tiny small files. Also, when dropbox encountered a conflict , it does not tell you about it and simply renames the old file, and tries to merge it or something and as a result you get a nasty chunk error in your world.

So the idea came to light. I know there are tons of minecraft backup utilties , such as the ones here , but i noticed not many of them ran on all 3 major OSes, windows/mac/linux, so I assume that maybe someone else would appreciate if I shared my little program with the rest of the world.
