One of the nice Calibre options is that once you enter a book ISBN, plenty of useful information (canonical versions of author name and book title, description, cover, even tags) can be downloaded automatically. But, for some reason, the application does not detect ISBN. I repeated the sequence open a book, go a page or a few down, copy ISBN, go back to Calibre, open book data, paste ISBN a few times and decided it is boring and could be automated.

So I wrote a short script which performs this very action.

So far I pushed two projects there:

• Google password is not stored as a plain text anymore, instead it is saved in GNOME Keyring, KDE Kwallet, or other platform specific password storage.
• manual edits of feeds.ini are no longer necessary, the script just prompts for the necessary parameters on the first run.

Per-player feeds remain unchanged and work as described previously.

The feed notifies about games which:

Still, while I am happy with Google Reader as a reader, I am by far less excited with it's management functions. Renaming feeds, reorganizing folders, disabling feeds, replacing them with alternative versions, etc - all those functions are difficult, or not present.

So I wrote a small script which let me export my subscriptions as a simple text file, manage them in the usual text editor and save edits back to Google Reader.

Here is the example (one of my TeamLeague) games:

The following feeds are available:

• interesting games,
• player-specific games.

So here it is: Nozbe2XMind in action:

Smaller changes also present in this release:

• download actions as CSV file (to be viewed in OOCalc, Excel or other spreadsheet),
• more information on the map (project tags, marking repeating and shared actions).

Before going into details, some pictures. Example map:

To verify this claim (well, building my own blog with - say - Django or Pylons is a tempting idea), I dumped notes of what my current blog software is doing for me.

It is too early for any conclusions, but in general I like Nozbe while I am collecting my tasks and checking my ToDo's. But since I put noticeable number of tasks there, I find it difficult to do a solid review. No way to see the whole thing (and it is not only a Nozbe problem, other sites also do not seem to offer much help here).

So I wrote a tool which helps me to see all my projects and tasks together and at once.
