First of all, let me say I thoroughly enjoy playing WebRisk over at Iohelix.net. WebRisk is an aptly named online version of the board game, Risky.
Games are played as slowly, or as quickly as you like, notifying you via e-mail when it’s your turn to move.
I’ve really enjoyed playing risk, although it’s really highlighted to me how poor my math skills are. I have a difficult time quickly counting how many troops a person has, and how many troops they’ll be getting on their next turn.
To remedy that, I present RiskAnalysis 1.0.
RiskAnalysis is a javascript based tool that will quickly calculate the number of troops and territories each player has. It will also calculate continents owned, and how many troops a person will get on their next turn, assuming the game continues in it’s direction.
The tool is not an exploit or hack in any way – A pen and paper, or calculator, can easily be used to derive all the same information that RiskAnalysis provides.. but for those of us with math problems, it’s a much faster solution.
Installation:
RiskAnalysis 1.0 is compatible with Chrome and FireFox 2.x+. Internet Explorer is not supported.
- Open the following link in a new window and copy it’s text to your clipboard:
- Using any site, create a bookmark in Chrome or Firefox titled “RiskAnalysis”
- Right-click on that bookmark, select “Edit” and remove the address of the existing bookmark
- Paste the copied RiskAnalysis code into the address field of the bookmark
- With an iohelix.net WebRisk game board open, click on the RiskAnalysis bookmark
- Leave any comments, suggestions or concerns you may have here, and check back periodically for updates

Well, apparently Google hates Barack Obama because right now, searching images.google.com for “Obama” returns nothing:
Interesting. Makes you wonder what bug they were fixing that accidentally broke a search term for Obama. But I’m sure Google doesn’t mess with their search results…

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to know how to search on a Flag in bugzilla. We use flags to determine what bugs have already been automated in our regression testing suite, and a variety of other things. So really, a filtered list of bugs based on what their flag has been set to would really be useful.
Filtering a bugzilla search by flag
First, ascertain the name of your flag:
In this case, my flag name is “Automation/FT”.
Now, using an advanced bugzilla search, let’s search on it by searching on the Flag Name, combined with a ?,-, or + at the end (depending on what you’re searching for).
In my example, this search will return all bugs in which the “Automation/FT” Flag has been set to “-”. Of course, that search is further filtered by parameters I’ve used above like products or keywords.
See, searching on flags in bugzilla can be quite fun. This is probably fairly common knowledge, but I never knew how to do it!

I have added HTML e-mail support to makemetheking.com. Now, if an e-mail is received that the service can’t render, users can view the HTML version of that e-mail.
Keep in mind that viewing HTML e-mails does come with some specific risks, including viruses, spyware, and who knows what else. Feel free to read more about it here.
