floc
Diplomacy Judge game information. Takes you to the game information/maps page for an online game of Diplomacy run on a judge that is supported by floc.net's observer.py page. Examples: floc -judge USAK -game mygame takes you to the page for the game "mygame" run on the judge USAK. floc -game mygame works the same way, but assumes that you want the default judge of USAK.

20 uses - Created 2006-05-11 03:23:17 - Last used 2009-10-25 15:00:43 - Nominate - Description - echo <h1>del.icio.us bookmarklets</h1>These bookmarklets can be used to quickly bookmark a page you're viewing. You will not see the form where you can tag the page. Instead, all pages saved with this bookmarklet will be saved with one common tag. You can give them real tags later at del.icio.us. If you ran this command without -user [your del.icio.us username], these bookmarklets will not work. You can also spesify the tag to be used(default is "quicksaved"): -tag [tag name] So if you haven't run this command like this: del.quick.bookmarklets -u username -tag yourtag or this: del.quick.bookmarklets -u username then run it again. Drag the bookmarklets you want to your toolbar: <a href="javascript:location.href='http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command='+encodeURIComponent('desapr -u ${user} -url '+location.href+' -d '+document.title+' -t ${tag=quicksaved}')">del.quick.priv</a> Quicksave without sharing. <a href="javascript:location.href='http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command='+encodeURIComponent('desa -u ${user} -url '+location.href+' -d '+document.title+' -t ${tag=quicksaved}')">del.quick.publ</a> Quicksave with sharing. <a href="javascript:location.href='http://del.icio.us/${user}/${tag=quicksaved}'">del.${tag=quicksaved}</a> Go to your quicksaved items. Note: If you want to use private saving, it must be enabled <a href="http://del.icio.us/settings/${user}/privacy">here</a>. These bookmarklets use the yubnub commands <a href="http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=desa">desa</a> and <a href="http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=desapr">desapr</a>. I have tested this in Opera.
