busybee fluffy rambles

The reader I use is Feed on Feeds, which isn’t the most fully-featured thing, but at least it’s easy to self-host and also fairly easy to hack on.

I also already use munin for monitoring server health, and it has a fairly easy-to-extend plugin system, and also provides email alerts. So I figured…

Anyway, here’s my Munin plugin:

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "config" ]; then
    echo 'graph_title Feed-On-Feeds unread items'
    echo 'graph_category feed_on_feeds'
    echo 'graph_args --base 1000 -l 0'
    echo "graph_vlabel unread items"
    echo 'graph_scale yes'

    echo "unread_items.label Unread items"
        exit 0
fi


printf "unread_items.value %d\n" $(curl '/path/to/unread.php?user_id=ID')

and here’s unread.php:

<?php
// stupid thing to get the unread items count for a user

$fof_no_login = true;
require_once 'path/to/fof-main.php';

$user_id = $_GET['user_id'];
if (!$user_id) {
    die("missing user id");
}

$sum = 0;
foreach (fof_db_get_tag_unread($user_id) as $item) {
    $sum += $item;
}
echo $sum;

?>

Obviously, you have to replace the /path/to/unread.php and path/to/fof-main.php and ID with actual values for it to work for your setup.

Completely unrelated, but is there a word for things you do to procrastinate from things you’re procrastinating from? Because I also uh. Am putting off playing more of the new Zelda game. (I like it a lot but I don’t want to burn out on it and also the UX kinda sucks.)
