Decided I wanted to know a bit more about the play habits of ATF so I created a way to collect trend information and display it in a graph.

Where do you get the WOW data from?

Ghryphen · 11-20-2005, 02:10 PM

From Addons people run to update their profiles. I take a snapshot of the current roster each night which shows the last time the logged in so I can see at least how logged in for that day. Whether it was at 1 am for 5 minutes or at 3pm for 6 hours I can't tell though :/

No Griffon, no.

The correct answer was "I HaX0red the blizz databa$e"

You are awarded no points.

Cool thingiemawhatchit though. Precisely how much time do you have on your hands, where you're just sitting there going "I think I'll code something to record the comings and goings of my friends"?

And did you let out a maniacal laugh afterwards?

Hehe, well my job isn't that taxing so I have time to play around with web dev. One of the ATF'ers asked if it could be done and I was already gathering profile data so all I had to do was create a nightly cron job to copy the current roster state into a new table, and presto Muahahhahhaha
