Random Signature

[noone]

I would like to proudly announce that I have created a VBWorld Random Signature program. Everytime it runs it will randomly pick one of the provided signatures and set it as your signature.
And for those who think this proves that I have nothing better to do with my time, your only half write. I have a chemistry lab due tomorow but working on this was more fun.

It's not completly done but you can get it at:
http://sajendra.dhs.org/saj/classes/misc/RandomSig.zip

Thats if my computer is on of course.

How does it work, and how do I run it?

[noone]

Well it will only run in a Java 2 environment, I just tried with JView (MS VM that ships with Windows) and I got an error so if you dont already have one your going to have to download it.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/

then you put each signature you want into a seperate file in the sigs directory. To run it you type:
java VBWorldRandomSig username password

Where username is your username and password is your password.

Oh, cool :)

what did you do to change the signature????
(what code did ya use?)

[noone]

First you have to post the username and password to:
http://209.207.250.147/member.php
you read back the page it returns and parse all the form element names and values. You then change the signature value to the new signature and then you post everything you parsed back to http://209.207.250.147/member.php

The hard part wasnt picking a random signautre, it was parsing the HTML that came back for all the values I wanted.

Oh....

damn, I was hoping you weren't going to say that...

I would like to make one of those of my own, in VB, but thats too much of a pain in the ass.. ;)

[noone]

Yup I was looking for a while for a class that would do the work for me. Didn't find one even though I know someone must have needed to parse HTML for form elements before.
Trying to do this is how I found out that the site ended with double "</BODY></HTML>"

There are a couple more features I'd like to add to this but I better finish my chemistry first :)

yeah, you should... BTW are you a junior?(in highschool)

[noone]

I'm in grade 12, but here we have a fifth year of high school (being phased out later) so I have 2 more years.

damn,
this is my first year of high school, I am in 9th grade, I am out of high school after 12th grade...

and how many years have you been in high school?
I take chemistry next year(I am in Biology Int. this year)

[noone]

I've been in high school since grade 9. The chemistry course I have is OAC Advances, OAC is our 5th year. I don't remember why I took this class but I'm regretting it already.

You don't like chemistry?

[noone]

Depends what part, some of it is too much memorisation. The parts that are basically just math I can do though.

Oh,
whats your favorite class?

Mine is Computer Science :D

[noone]

You don't want to know what I think about the computer science teachers at our school. Some of them wouldnt be able to teach a dog to bark.
One of them keeps trying to put disks in upside down for some reason and then is amazed when it wont work.

Hahahaha!
my computer teacher is fairlly knowledgable *surprise*
I thought he was going ot be an idiot.

The only problem with the class, is we use Borland Turbo C++ and we have those crappy looking white console windows....
another problem is we are using Win95 networked with Novell, and from what I can see, Novell is really good, I can't do anything on that piece of sh** computer!

Great signature BTW :D
