Peewee playhouse.sqlcipher_ext example

You're prompted for a passphrase (should be at least 8 characters long. Real-life apps should enforce a more strict passphrase strength policy). If the file testsqlcipher.db doesn't exist, it will be created with this passphrase, otherwise - the passphrase should match the existing db (or it can't be decrypted [hopefully]).

// A variation on the "fortune telling device" grove tutorial at
// http://www.instructables.com/id/grove-lucky-dumpling/
// (same circuit).
// It's a "heart analyzer" that "can tell from your pulse"
// what you feel and about what. This gives 9*8  possible
// messages instead of the original 12, and by adding a
// few more "feel" and "about" entries, you can easily
// get a pretty large range.

Some webcomics have RSS/ATOM feeds that include the images themselves. XBMC, however, require feeds to include the images as RSS enclosures. This script fetches a feed and prints an "XBMC-compliant" one to stdout. You can run a cron job that saves this to an http-accessible file on your pc. You can then use its URL as an rss picture source.

usaage: python webcomic2xbmc.py FEED_URL [IMG_URL_REGEXP]> myxbmcfeed.xml

Examples:

• python webcomic2xbmc.py http://xkcd.com/rss.xml > ~/public_html/feeds/xkcd.xml

Zooming is essential when you read comics. If you have the 0-9 keys on your remote control, it's really easy and intuitive, but how can you read comics with an Android remote control app?

Luckily, the ff/rew buttons are not needed when you're in slideshow mode, so we can use them for zooming: Just copy zoom-ff-rew.xml to userdata/keymaps/ and restart XBMC.

Ironically, by the time I got it going, the android ran out of battery. This made it look like a remote control from the 50s ;)

This tweak lets you see a ticker based on the [https://zzzen.com/420](global 4:20pm clock)'s feed, but with shorter phrasing (to minimize the damage of XBMC's merciless title truncation).

• Run these cron lines on a machine that serves static pages at /PATH/TO/STATIC/WEB/FOLDER/ (you can even do this on the xbmc machine itself).
• add the url of 420.rss as an RSS source. Update every minute (it's a cheap operation).

Enjoy
