As per Juilee P’s request. This has only minor retouching; I have left the file essentially as scanned (my man does a good job). See this image by Andy Heatwole, for a really sad-looking piano. / /

PAX Hack
by Dave PearsonRedBubble’s newly-announced PAX...
RedBubble’s newly-announced PAX is pretty cool. Well, no, that’s not true, it’s very cool. But it’s got a problem. The problem is that, with over 16,000 works in the mosaic, you’ve got a hell of a time seeing if any of your works are in there. Now, sure, you could sit down and just wander around it, keeping an eye out for your own stuff and being amazed at some of the works that are in there, but that could take forever. Besides, you can never be sure that you’ve found all of them (or be sure that you’ve confirmed that you’ve got none in there). And then I noticed that the full list of all the works in the mosaic was available “under the hood” (anyone with a reasonable knowledge of web development should be able to find that file). The file itself is just some Javascript code. So, I got to thinking, here’s a file that contains a list of image IDs of every work in the mosaic. I’ve got a list of all my works on RedBubble thanks to a tool I wrote a while back. If I just extract the two ID lists, take the intersection of those two lists, I’ll have a list of all of my works in PAX. So, a quick bit of ruby hacking later and I had findPAXworks up and running. And a few seconds later I had a full list of all of my works that appear in there. Well, I say “all”, there’s only the two, and it’s the two that I expected: / Chaos / Quite a Contrast Now I can go and enjoy wandering around the mosaic without being preoccupied with looking for my own works. ;)

Hack: "Friends of RedBubble" quick link for mybubble
by Dave PearsonInspired by this thread...
Inspired by this thread I’ve knocked up a quick Greasemonkey hack that adds a Friends of RedBubble forum link the the quick links bar in mybubble. This, of course, is only useful to people who use Firefox, have Greasemonkey installed, and who are a member of the FoRB group. If that’s you and this sounds useful then pop over here to get a copy.

Hack: RedBubble art list exporter for Microsoft Windows
by Dave PearsonEver since I wrote getrbart I’ve been toyi…
Ever since I wrote getrbart I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a variation on that theme that might be useful to people who aren’t in the habit of getting “down and dirty” on their Windows machines, people who prefer not to install software they don’t know about and who don’t fancy running command line scripts. Last week I finally cracked and started work on something: This is a very early release of the software, it doesn’t do a whole lot of stuff. Things it does do: Lets you download a list of all your public art on RedBubble. Lets you save the list and load it again later. Lets you download it again (dur!) Lets you export the list as a comma-separated values file. Lets you export the list as a tab-separated values file. Lets you export the list as a set of HTML files, which might be useful for including in your own website (if you have one). Please note that this is a very early release of the tool. I’m making it available to people who are feeling adventurous (or foolish, depending on how you want to look at it) and who won’t mind reporting problems or giving suggestions. I can’t promise that it’ll do everything you want, but I can promise that it’ll be free to download, free to use and will always be free to use. If you fancy having a play head over here and have a read and, if you like what you see, download, install and have a play. PS: Yes, I know the application icon sucks in a big way. I’m a developer, not a designer. :P Version Details: v1.5.0.0 — Released 2008-05-21 / v1.4.0.0 — Released 2008-05-16 / v1.3.0.0 — Released 2008-05-16 / v1.2.0.0 — Released 2008-05-15 / v1.1.0.0 — Released 2008-05-14

Hack: Simple BubbleMail Preview

Inspired by this thread (although it is a subject that has come up many times before) on the RedBubble forums I’ve created a Greasemonkey script to implement a very simple BubbleMail preview facility. It works by adding a preview button to your screen when you compose a new BubbleMail: When you press the button a preview of your BubbleMail will appear below the button: It’s not perfect. It has some issues. But it’s a start. See over here for more details about the script and to get a copy.

What's your RedBubble Year?

Note that I’ve also posted about this on the forums A little earlier today I noticed that the total number of pages of art on RedBubble was about to hit the 6,000 mark. And then I got to thinking that most people probably look at the first 10 or so pages and perhaps the last couple of pages (just to see what’s right at the “bottom” at any given moment). And then I got to thinking some more: somewhere around the middle there’s probably lots of stuff that most people don’t notice. So, how about picking a random page and bookmarking it (the content will change over time anyway). So how to pick one at “random”? Pick a year, perhaps? So, long story short, the pick a year and find art tool page thing Yeah, I know, it’s stupid… So, what’s your RedBubble year? Did you find anything fun? Edit: As of December 2007 this no longer works due to the fact that the “most popular ever” view is now restricted to just 30 pages. :-(

Edit a work from the public view

Last week PigleT and me were chatting about how annoying it is that you can’t edit a work on RedBubble from the public view of the work. Diving into your art or clothing list to find the work, or hacking on its URL, can be a real pain. I then got to thinking that a Greasemonkey script could be the way to go, although this would have the downside that it would only work with Firefox (not that I see that as a downside). PigleT then had the cracking idea of using a bookmarklet. Smart idea because it would work with most browsers. And then we did the usual thing and let the good idea stay just like that: a good idea. And then I saw this thread and that got us going again. I tried one way (and failed) and PigleT tried another and it worked, but only for art. I then hacked it a little and made it work with art, clothing, journals and writing. The end result can be found over here. And it works. And works well. And solves a really annoying problem. There’s a couple of issues, not least of which is the fact that any number of strange things could happen if you used the bookmarklet while viewing something other than a public view of one of your works. Think of this as a feature rather than a bug. Edit: If you’re a Firefox user, and you have Greasemonkey installed (or are happy to), then this approach might be more to your taste.

Hello fellow Bubblers. I hope your Christmas and new years were enjoyed. Just writing to warn all of you out there with a web site for your creative endeavors to beware. My website mikoto.com.au got hacked into and I have spent the last 3 days rebuilding it from scratch. The cyber nerds got into my site with apparent ease using a brute force attack and then diverted all the traffic to some other destination. I have learn’t that you need to make your passwords over 20 letters, numbers and symbols or it can easily get picked by the ‘bots’. It was a timely hack though that I used to revamp my website with some fun new images and functionality. To read the long version of this story goto mikoto.com.au

Time for another Greasemonkey hack. This one replaces the existing text formatting hint you get when making comments (the text that pops out when you click on the “Show text formatting help:” link below the comment box). Instead of the rather small bit of help you get webgrrl’s rather handy text formatting cheat sheet. See over here for more details.

Using an exported art list
by Dave PearsonYesterday I finally got around to using my little tool for exporting my RedBubble art list...
Yesterday I finally got around to using my little tool for exporting my RedBubble art list to build a quick and dirty site that acts as a simple “front door” into my works here. Given that I’ve had the domain davep.co.uk hanging around not doing anything useful for a while I’ve placed it over there. At the moment it’s a quick and dirty hack, more of a proof of concept than anything else, I’ll probably expand it into something more at some point in the future. But, for now, here’s the first version of Photography by Dave Pearson.

Hack: RedBubble Art Manager for Windows v1.2.0.0 Released
by Dave PearsonI’ve just uploaded a new version of my RedBubble art manager application...
I’ve just uploaded a new version of my RedBubble art manager application (this is v1.2.0.0). You can get it from here. The main change in this release is to enhance the “promote a work” dialog as per Julie Langford’s suggestion. Whereas before it simply let you promote with a simple image it now lets you promote with a simple image or one of the various product previews: Another change is that I’ve added a command that takes you directly to a work’s edit page on RedBubble, something I thought of after reading a comment made by Shelley Heath. Edit to add: I’ve just noticed a small bug. If you try and generate a promotion code for a mounted print with no border the resulting code doesn’t work. This is now fixed and will be available in the next release.

Hack: Script to export an art list

Warning: This is a solution looking for a problem. It’s also aimed at people who have the ability to execute ruby scripts. Edit: I’ve now used this tool to knock up a quick and dirty website as a simple test of the idea. I’ve seen a few people ask for this, and I’ve been after a way to do this myself: a facility on RedBubble that lets you export a full list of your works (or, at the very least, your art) so that you can do something else with it elsewhere. Today I got to thinking that it should be possible to scrape the data from my public art page. A bit of hacking with ruby later (using its “net/http” and “rexml/document” modules) and I had something that produced a very simple tab-delimited text file containing the work ID and the work title (given these two items it’s pretty easy to infer everything else). Like I say: this is a bit of a solution looking for a problem right now, but a quick test with Google Docs shows that the file imports nicely as a spreadsheet: I’m also thinking that such data could be handy as the starting point for writing a tool that generates some sort of front-end (on one of my own sites) into my works on RedBubble. If you think this sounds interesting, and if you’re able to run ruby scripts, pop over here and grab a copy.

Hack: Random page of UK group art

The UK group has quite a lot of art in it now (204 pages as of the time of writing) and it has been suggested that having so much art could work against a lot of the stuff that’s in there (a suggestion that makes sense to me). So, I got to thinking: it could be amusing to have a little tool that directs you to a random page. One line of PHP code later: The UK Group Art Random Page Selection Thingy Clicking on that link will take you to a random page. Note, however, that there’s a small problem with the above in that I need to hand-edit the max number of pages as the number of works increase. Still, for a quick one-line hack, it’s not so bad. I think.
