This is a simple Python module that stores highscores in an SQLite database in the same folder as the module. It’s far from watertight so tweak it according to your needs. Read source for examples.

Spam in a can

Lately I’ve received a number of messages from bots using other people’s hacked MSN accounts. The link they were pushing was basically an email confirmation link, clicking it would have told them that my e-mail address was valid, and surely landed me in some spammer’s e-mail lists. So instead i decided to try and mess around a little, and thus this little Python program was written.

It generates random fake e-mails, from three text lists, and sends them to the spammer using their own validator link, trough the Tor proxy network; making it harder to block  or locate you.

Download it here . Use it at your own risk or don’t use it at all, read the disclaimer in the source. Feel free to do whatever the heck you want with it, just don’t come back crying if you make a booboo.

Same method as the previous time lapse video i made, but now you can actually see things happening.

This is a time lapse video i made using my digital videocamera and Python, taking a picture every 5th second. It is quite boring so i had to add some music, Rob Costlow’s “Not Alone”

This is the Python script i used:

from VideoCapture import Device
from time import sleep

SecondsBetweenFrames = 5
FilePrefix = "bilde_"
DirectoryToStore = "E:\\Basen\\"
Kamera = Device()
FrameNr = 0

while True:
    FrameNr = FrameNr + 1
    Kamera.saveSnapshot(DirectoryToStore + FilePrefix + str(FrameNr) + '.jpg')
    print "Lagret bilde: " + FilePrefix + str(FrameNr) + '.jpg'
    sleep(SecondsBetweenFrames)

* You’ll need the VideoCapture and PIL Python extensions

This is a Python spoof logo i’ve made based on the nVidia game logo.
