in reply to Tracking your votes

With Perl you could easily build your own personal vote history tracker. I envision a modest cgi script displaying a few form elements in a small chromeless window used to build and maintain a database of users and votes:

  1. a text field and add button for adding new users to the db
  2. a select field listing users in the db
  3. ++ and -- radio buttons
  4. a vote button for adding a + or - vote to the selected user
  5. a show button to display users and votes made on them by you

The database could be a simple listing of user|sum_of_votes or something more complex that records the sequence, time, node, etc, of each vote in a voting history.

I'm kind of busy and don't know what you want so think you should write it and earn the ++ votes you'll deserve if you do it well.

    Good thought. You know, I want to play with LWP and TK anyway, maybe I'll work on a 'site-specific' browser, that can also track things like that. (And also posts I think are worth a ++ but I've run out for the day, so I can come back to them.)
