Revolution
I’ve just sponsored the upload of libevolution-ruby
(Ruby Evolution Data
Server bindings) a few moments ago,
maintained by David Moreno Garza. It is really a small nice
thing with some potential. I’ve just written this script email_of to perform
a regex search in my contacts and print them in a “email-style” manner:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'revolution'
# Add functionality to the Contact class for
# displaying using an "email-style" format.
class Revolution::Contact
def name_and_email
email_addresses.values.flatten.map { |email|
"%s %s <%s>" % [first_name, last_name, email]
}.join("\n")
end
end
# Get the pattern from the command-line (if any).
if ARGV.length == 1
pattern = Regexp.new(ARGV.first)
else
$stderr.puts "Usage: #{$PROGRAM_NAME} <pattern>"
exit 1
end
# Find the contacts matching the pattern.
evo = Revolution::Revolution.new
found = evo.get_all_contacts.find_all do |contact|
pattern.match(contact.first_name) or
pattern.match(contact.last_name)
end
puts found.map { |c| c.name_and_email }.join("\n")Easy does it!
GUADEC
Bram Senders and I are arranging for Spacelabs trip to go to GUADEC this year. For us the entrance fee was a surprise as well, but enough about that. We hope to get it all settled soon, so we can just sit and wait for it to become May 26. Right :)
