That sounds like a great idea, except:

• It doesn't work reliably. I just changed something on my home node, and it doesn't appear in that list... You probably have to check "This is a significant update" for that.
• There is no usable XML view. All I see is code.

If you view your homenode in xml, there is "updated" (as in <node id="442602" title="planetscape" created="2005-03-27 04:28:58" updated="2008-01-24 22:33:38">)

So perhaps if that date is within a certain time limit, you may want to look at their coordinates to see if they've changed?

HTH,

planetscape

What I'm trying to minimize is the number of times I have to fetch somebody's home node. Once I got it, I can just as well parse the coordinates.

Fetching one single page with an overview with all recent changes for all users would have been useful. Fetching a page for every individual user, not so much.

You probably have to check "This is a significant update" for that.

Yes, I think so too.

There is no usable XML view.

This seems to work:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

open( my $fh, '<', "/home/joerg/dump.html" ) or die $!;
my $html = do { local( $/ ); <$fh> };
close $fh;

my @nodes;

while ( $html =~ s!<tr><td><a href="\?node_id=(\d+)">([^<]+)</a></td><
+td>\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d</td></tr>!! ) {
    push @nodes, [ $2, $1 ];
}

print "@{$_}\n" for @nodes;
