SocialLua is a set of modules that aims to provide simple Lua function wrappers for many internet site and service APIs.

This version includes wrappers for:

• Twitter (full client support, some extra utility functions)
• u.nu url shortening

All code is released under the public domain, so feel free to do whatever you like.

If you have any tips on sites that should be wrapped, do tell.

Enjoy!

gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/gnome-do/preferences/Do/CoreKeybindings/SummonKey "Super_L"

And that’s it! You’re done!

Note that I’m running GNOME, so this guide covers the use of gnome-open. If you use KDE, Xfce or any other desktop environment, and you know how to add support for other URIs on that version of xdg-open, feel free to comment.

First, we need a bash script to run Spotify. This one assumes that you’ve installed Spotify with PlayOnLinux:

#!/bin/bash
cd "$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Spotify/drive_c/Program Files/Spotify"
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Spotify/ wine spotify.exe /uri $1

Save this and make it executable with chmod +x.

Now, let’s tell GConf that we have a URI handler for spotify.

gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/command "location of the bash script %s"
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/needs_terminal false
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/enabled true

After that, you’re done! Enjoy launching Spotify directly from Chrome/xdg-open!

If you really want it to stay alive, post in the comments – I’ll see what I can do.

TUP Video
It’s nothing much at the moment, just a list and an iframe to….

UaVidView
I made a HTML5 mockup with jQuery, Youtube icons, and a video tag to make a neat youtube-esque embeddable video thing for HTML5.
Have a screenshot:

You can use it in your own website if you’d like! Just create an iframe that links to http://vidview.uapps.org/?v=*ogg video url goes here*

TUP Blog
If you’re reading this on the site and not an RSS reader, you probably have noticed our new fancy theme, UApps style.

There are still some small errors with UaVidView and the Blog theme that I’ll sort out when I spot them (and when I can bother)

UApps
I’ll make some stuff and label it as “Ua” soonish. Like UaQA and UaTracker and UaImgDump (gonna rewrite it). Maybe something more if it comes to mind.

Juiz
I’m gonna make the base more stable, implement more api features as I go, and most importantly, write that darn documentation. After that, it’s module and advertising time.

*new* Cloud
I’m gonna get Amazon S3 and Cloudfront so I can serve all TUP stuff from cloud.unreliablepollution.net, like videos, and stuff like that.

*new* TUP Video
Following the release of the TUP cloud I’m gonna make some kind of container site so I can upload videos and stuff and it’ll automatically upload that to YouTube and blog it and stuff. I dunno. I’ll see what’s possible.

TUP Blog
I’m gonna make an UApps-esque theme for this blog as well. It’ll probably look very similar to UaQA.

*new* <name of RPG goes here>
I’ve been feeling the need to make a game. I have some concepts, but one that I’d really like is a turn-based RPG made in C++. Cross-platform. And stuff.

*new* LÖVE Bullet Hell game
Another game that I will make (I don’t have a choice since I pretty much swore I’d do it) is a bullet hell game made in LÖVE once 0.6.0 releases. Probably something inspired by Touhou.

Note that most of these will probably sit on a shelf for months, so don’t expect them any time soon.

Youtube version is also available.
